Healthy Treats for Cats

Purebites has a nice selection of flavor options that are all single ingredient treats and our cats seem to love them a lot. These treats are great for picky eaters, limited ingredient diets, and as a topper for meals. Because freeze-fried treats can be rather expensive, we have found these to be the best bang for your buck. This is especially true if you buy the larger packs marketed for dogs. You get bigger pieces and more for your money. They are easily broken up as well.

Vital Cat offers freeze-dried treats that are not only a single ingredient but made from raw, uncooked meat. This means they have higher nutritional content than standard free-dried treats. There is a nice selection of flavors to choose from and all come from hormone and antibiotic-free sources. They also offer entree meals great for cat owners who like to use both wet and dry food.

Whole Life Pet is another brand that offers high-quality freeze-dried treat options for your cat. Not only is the meat used human-grade but each batch is tested for quality and a traceable nutritional value in independent labs. This means that their treats are made in accordance with the AAFCO regulations and are 100% safe for human consumption. These treats can also be rehydrated with water and served as a wet treat option for cats who do not like crunchy treats.

Fruitables offer three flavor options to choose from with ingredients that all have a purpose. They come in tuna with pumpkin, chicken with blueberry, and salmon with cranberry. Since they have fruit within the ingredients, they make for great treats that supply your cat with vitamin C, antioxidants, and superfoods which are great for the bowel and bladder. If your cat is prone to getting UT infections, give the chicken with blueberry or salmon with cranberry treats a try. Both fruits are great for preventing infections.

ORIJEN has a great selection of freeze-dried treat blends that make full use of vital organs from the meat source. With flavors such as lamb and wild boar, you are sure to find something your cat will enjoy here. They do not use grains or fillers to bind their treats either, they are 100% grain-free. All varieties come from either free-range, grass-fed, or wild-caught sources depending on the flavor. Their gentle freeze-dry process ensures most of the nutrition is retained for a high-protein nutritional treat your cat will love.

Purina’s Fancy Feast filets are perfect for cats who like moist, soft treats but need to be on a limited ingredient diet. Each fillet only has three ingredients being meat, broth, and salt. The filets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days after opening. They are great as stand-alone treats or meal toppers. For an easier way to serve these as treats, use scissors and cut them up into small pieces and store in a glass sealed jar in your fridge.
