"My cat was so sad she couldn’t have any of her regular treats after starting her hydrolyzed diet. As soon as these came I opened the bag for her and she was gobbling them up before I could even take them out! She’s so happy!"

β€” Sherry

"One cat won't touch these. The other cat with food allergies seems to really like the flavor. However, they are too hard for her to eat and maybe also a bit too big. They get stuck in her throat and she gags them up. We tried breaking them up for her, but they are so hard you can only break one..."
