My New “Pill Pocket”
By ShelbyCat on Jan 16, 2022
I’ve used these treats for awhile with two of my cats who are ravenous over their minnows. My third kitty, and my mom’s kitty, turn their nose up to these. Two out of four LOVE! My 12 year old experienced an acute event that required her to take a very large pill, twice daily, for 14 days. I tried everything with my picky kitty and I could not trick her to eat the pill. The pill was too big to comfortably put down her throat and her condition made it painful to put the pills down her throat since she would squirm and irritate the condition. I cut the pill in multiple little chunks, broke the minnows in half, and stuffed the pill chunks in to the stomachs of the minnows.

Perfect treats for picky cats
By kyla on Jan 23, 2022
one of my cats i haven’t been able to get eating any traditional crunchy treats, but he ate of these right away. my cats go crazy for them, and the one cat who i haven’t got to eat one yet will still play with them and take them around with her. and i was worried about the smell of these treats, but honestly not bad it’s just like a fish food smell tbh. they also come in a variety of sizes and easy to break into pieces if you cat doesn’t like big treats.

big hit with one cat
By ossy on Jan 13, 2022
2/3 of my cats don't care for these. But the one that does, Stinky, is obsessed with them. These are great healthy treats for cats that will eat them. Every cat has its preferences. Smelly petrified little fish is always on the menu for Stinky. When I serve Stinky his food, I like to stick a couple of these fish in the pate to spice it up. He always goes for the fish first.

Picky Cats
By MarJ on Jan 8, 2022
At first the cats were not sure what had been put in their bowls. After a while they tried the minnows after taking them out of the bowls. They finally decided to try them. Now both cats like them and eat them right away.

My cat is crazy about this treat
By Lovemylouieforever on Nov 4, 2021
I usually give my cat a temptation and dental treat and found this is a healthy real protein snack. At first, he was like what’s this for and he chewed with curiosity and he goes crazy. It’s expensive but I can buy him with love. I feel sorry that I wasn’t aware of this treat and couldn’t get any chance to give my beloved cat. My beloved baby was finicky a bit but I’m feeling a bit sad. Anyway, current baby enjoys so I’m happy.

Fun Cat Treat
By FortyLix on Nov 30, 2021
All my cats enjoy this treat but some are slightly more picky. One cat will eat the whole thing and loves when i crack them open. the other 2 love them as well but make me break them into small pieces rather than give it whole. Great healthy treat and also a great gag to pull on someone who owns a fish tank lol.

Talk about treat motivation!
By Peacefeline on Nov 16, 2021
Millie has diabetes, asthma and several other health conditions that call for lots of different medications. These are the treats that i use for her most difficult treatments (ear drops or anything g newly added to our routine) and she comes running for them! I also use dried chicken treats but these are the special ones for her special things.

A hit with one cat
By Patty on Dec 23, 2021
I thought these minnows might be an interesting treat for my cats. One agreed and the other did not, so I'll continue to order them for the one who likes them. Have to say they are a little creepy.

Cats would not touch them
By Ashh on Dec 12, 2021
My cats wanted nothing to do with these, which was not surprising for one of them but the other one will usually gobble any treat up. Thankfully I have a dog who will eat almost anything so these will not go to waste!

the only treat he loves
By minnows on Dec 5, 2021
I have a picky boy, he’s very Precise and isn’t a fan of most treats even food. He goes nuts for this, I’ve caught him breaking into the cabinet to sneak a few extra. Healthy and he loves them, a win win!!
