I can't give these snacks a good review, not because their bad snacks but for the simple reason that my little boy didn't take to them very well. I haven't been able to get him to eat them every time I try he just walks away from them, but he is a very picky eater. You'll just have to try it on your fur babies maybe they'll like them, mine didn't.

Day One: my two cats acted like they’d never EVER tasted anything as amazing as these treats. Day Four: this is the second time they were offered a treat. Their response, offended, was to refuse the unfavorable offering. Day Seven: the third time offered, the cats approved the tuna treats and asked for more. Cats are weird.

Awful smell gets on your hands!

Worst smelling treat ever! My cat wouldn’t go near it, nor would the 2 cats of the person I gave our remaining bag to!

They love these treats! I’ve tried freeze dried salmon from another which was chewy and not so well received but these seem to have a crunch like a regular treat (based on sound) and my boys go crazy for them.

I'm like grandma visiting her grand kitties, they know that I will give them tuna bites when I come in the house to see them. They love these. I accidentally left the bag on the kitchen counter. That was a big mistake. The male orange cat found it and shredded the bag. Now I hide it from them. ;)

My cats don't like these as much as other flavors. It is very pungent.
