"My cat absolutely loves these treats - and this one is her favorite flavor."

β€” gs20s

"My cat ate a few of these when I broke them into pieces, the refused more. I will try again later. Looking for alternative to gel which I have to mix in a tube treat, because he won't lick the gel off his paw .Trying a third brand with more, positive cat reviews."

Bottom Line

Recommend for cat health, but be prepared for potential acceptance issues. Great option for treating pet respiratory issues with an extra dose of care regarding cat’s palet.
