Highlighted Reviews

— HiccupandEmmysMom

"Our furry babies have tried other treats and nothing has been as successful as this one. They don't like products that are fish flavored, so the chicken is great! Other treats have gotten them sick but this one hasn't. It's a little bit pricey, but totally worth it."

— Susan

"These treats were crunchy, not chewy as the package says. All 3 of my cats sniffed them and then gave me a look as if to say, ‘You have to be kidding. You want me to eat this?’ I threw the bag away."

Bottom Line

Proceed with caution if considering these treats. Cats' preferences are highly individual, and the higher price point may not justify their use if your cat does not like them.
