Highlighted Reviews

— Kathryn

"Our cats don’t seem to comprehend the difference between a snack and a meal, and to be fair, I have the same problem. But these treats are also great for rewards during medication time (the cats, not mine.)"

— Melanie

"My cat was obsessed with these trees. I don’t know what they changed, but they are a darker color and my cat will not even eat them at all. I thought maybe I purchased the wrong one, but they were the same."

Bottom Line

If your cat loved the original Buddy Biscuits, it's worth reaching out to the manufacturer for alternatives or waiting for a formula change. In the meantime, consider trying other grain-free cat treats.
