Simple ingredient. Cats love it !!! Recommended!
Both of my cats love this treats. They can’t get enough and I have to order more! It doesn’t have a strong smell and my cats love them. My husband tried a little bit based on curiosity and he said it’s tasty no wonder why the cats love them. It’s doesn’t have added salt, and it doesn’t taste salty, so I believe it’s a healthy option for my cats. My cats would fight over the treats whenever I feed them, they’re able to chew them with no issue, they finish 3 treats within 30 seconds. Freeze dried treat is a better option for us because it’s a simple ingredient without too much of added ingredient, it’s safer for my cats. Definitely worth it and I will get them on a regular basis now!!

My cat is going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is in these things ?!?! Just kidding, it’s ONE INGREDIENT - CHICKEN! My cat, Misfit, is a happy 14 year old tabby cat. She’s just a “regular” tabby, but she is very special to me for so many reasons. She’s has always been a larger cat with a little extra weight, but I love her so much. Because I love her dearly, I care a lot about what I feed her and taking good care of her. Especially as we both get older. I’m always looking for ways to make her extra happy and I ordered these chicken treats on a whim. I wasn’t sure if Misfit would like them.. she’s a big girl but she can be picky sometimes. Well, she loves these. They are freeze dried but they are not too hard or crunchy for her. I also don’t worry at all about Misfit gaining any extra weight, because there’s no extra ingredients! She gets a couple of them and starts going CRAZY purring and cuddling with me. She loves these, and I love my cat! Well I’m not going to taste these for you, but since my cat love’s them, I’d assume they taste pretty good. Smells like a freeze dried chicken breast, no doubt there. They are fresh in a sealed, safe bag. They are crunchy but soft as they break up and come in various sizes in the bag, some regular sized and some little pieces/crumbs. I only give her a few and they do encourage her to drink some water since they are DRY, but this is good and cats always need to drink more water. So, in my opinion, they somewhat encourage hydration. If you love your cat, BUY THESE. And if you regret it, your cat is just being picky and you should get a different flavor. Misfit likes CHICKEN! These are awesome and I would 100% recommend and would buy again.

Great cat treat!
The only treat my cat loves! She is one of the pickiest kitties I’ve ever met (credentials: i used to cat-sit), but she will RUN for these when I start to open the bag! They can be a tiny bit messy, since my cat likes to take them off her treat plate and chew from the floor lol, but she also seems to chew them quickly and easily enough that it’s not often too messy. Some of them are stuck together, and it’s a bit gross to have to un-stick them, but it’s worth it for my kitty’s happiness! They’ve lasted us a while — it’s a good amount for the price, which I initially thought was pretty high! But I’ll definitely be repurchasing these, as she loves them and they’re a good, healthy treat! The minnows are, on average, the size and thickness of my pinkie.

High-quality freeze-dried treats with great value
These are my cat’s favorite treats by far. The quality is consistently high, with simple single-ingredient freeze-dried minnows that look clean and fresh. They’re easy to break into smaller pieces, which helps with portion control and makes the bag last longer. The texture is light and crunchy, and they hold up well without turning to dust. For the quality you get, the value is excellent, especially compared to similar freeze-dried options.

A different kind of treat for ur cats!
So I've been buying the same ol treats (temptations) for my 3 cats for a few years now. Hv bought all the different flavors also. So when I seen these minnow treats I was like, hmm I bet theyd like something new. And I was right. They enjoyed them. My 2 older girl cats only liked the tiny minnows & my teenage boy cat liked them no matter what size. I had to put them in another ziplock bag cause my boy would try to rip open the package. At 1st I gv them 1 each night for a few weeks, before bed. Then I noticed my older girls were like nah, we good & wouldn't touch them anymore. So I stopped giving them any until about 1 week ago. They started eating them again. It was an ok experience with trying something new but I personally would not buy again. I'll stick to temptations. Looked easy to chew & tasty for them. Theyre supposed to be more nutritious then other treats. Ingredients were all natural dried minnows. There's a bunch of them in package, good quality! Color silver. Like minnows look like.

Great product!
Well, first learned of this type of product on TikTok. Decided to give this a try. Most all of the rescued cats enjoy the product. The crunch is impressive and I am happy to know of the minnows's nutritional value for their teeth, skin, and coat. Very fishy smell (leaves a smell on my fingers) but the cats who like these will line up, snatch the minnow, then run off to enjoy. Because of the number of rescues I care for, it isn't possible to buy these regularly.

Great product! Why so expensive simply because it’s marketed for cats?
Great product, super simple, cats & dogs love them! Extremely disappointed that you charge so much more simply because you call them cats treats instead of dog treats. It’s the same one ingredient, the same packaging. You charge more because it says cat? I’ll not be purchasing these specific treats(cat) ever again since I can get the SAME freeze dried chicken, the SAME brand, SAME package for almost half the price because they’re “dog” treats

My cat LOVES these
My cat absolutely loves these and loses his mind when I take the bag out. I'll be honest, it feels a little gross picking out freeze-dried chicken hearts from the bag to give to my cat, but I guess this is the type of thing I signed up for when I got a cat. They are pretty big and I suspect there'd be some crumbling if I try to break them so usually I will only give one at a time to my cat as a "special" treat, he loves eating them. Great price for the values and of course I love that the ingredients are simple and clean.

I gave my 2 cats this for the first time last week. At first they were very sceptical of the treats as they’ve never had them before but both of them LOVED it after staring at it for a bit. I am going to cut each treat in 2 from now on though (there are not a lot in the packaging) to try to make them last longer. This is not a big deal at all considering how big the treats are. I WILL be purchasing this again.

Way better ingredients than the garbage cat treats. I use it as a topper for my wet food and the cats loved it. Even my picky one!
