In The Sims 4 Cottage Living, your Sims can own a wide variety of animals, including llamas, cows, and chickens! One way to make your new animal friends happy and encourage them to produce specific types of products is by feeding them animal treats. Each animal treat gives a different benefit and some of the treats even make your animal friends change colours!

You can obtain animal treats by purchasing them from Agnes and Agatha’s garden stall in the Finchwick district of Henford-on-Bagley or winning them by participating in the Finchwick Fair, held every Saturday. You may also receive animal treats as gifts from wild animals like bunnies and birds.

Once you’ve obtained an animal treat and fed it to an animal for the first time, you’ll unlock the recipe to make that treat yourself in your notebook. You can check the notebook at any time to see what animal treat recipes you’ve unlocked and what is needed for each recipe. You can make the animal treats by clicking on the fridge and selecting Create Animal Treats.

There are a total of 13 different animal treats that can be fed to llamas, cows, and chickens. All treats, their required ingredients, and effects are listed in the table below.

Are the colour changes permanent (until you give a different treat) or temporary?

Cows and Llamas are temporary. They turn back to normal after their next product harvest. The chickens permanently stay golden/evil in my experience.
