Highlighted Reviews

— Tess 3 found helpful

"Seymour the cat travels with us frequently on long drives and these treats really help him relax."

— denise

"The treats seemed stale. They were very hard and crumbled into dust when I broke the up for my cat. He won't eat them unless I soak them first and cover them with his food"

Bottom Line

While the treats can help calm cats, the formula inconsistencies and quality issues make it a less reliable choice. Consider other brands if your cat is particular about their treats.
