Great product
Great product good price. Came exactly as pictured and expected. Fresh freeze dried chicken breast is a great option for a meal topper or healthy retreat. My kitty eats all the little chicken pieces off her food before the rest of her dinner so I think itâs safe to say she likes it! It does not smell and it breaks apart easy which is great. No affect in the litter box. Will buy again.

Yummy in your Tummy.
We have two finnicky cats, one who refuses any wet canned food. We bought the salmon bites and they loved those, so thought the minnows might be tasty. The price is a little off-putting but considering there must be 100 minnows and we only feed them 1 or 2 a day, it’s not too bad. Anyway they first didn’t know what these were and sniffed and poked at them a bit, but then started to devour them. 60% protein is great and no fillers, just fish.

Whole fish, no extras
Whole, real fish, eyes and all. I have the pickiest cats and they devored these without hesitation. A total first. 2 calories per fish, high protein, low fat. Since they are freeze dried, they don’t smell that strongly but there is still a fishy odor. 100% will buy again

Healthy and tasty snack for kitties! Try it, your kitties may love it!
I purchase these regularly as (healthy) tasty snacks for my kitties! A couple of them absolutely love them and can eat dozens at a time. A couple of my other kitties will eat them sometimes but are not crazy about them, but then again they’re not big fans of a lot of crunchy snacks.Aside from the kitties loving them (which is more important), I also like the fact that there is only one single ingredient in these snacks: minnows, which means it is also pretty healthy for my cats!Overall, give it a try, your kitties might fall in love with it, you’ll be in love with the fact there are no added ingredients that are “hard to pronounce” and likely not so good for your cat!

Not for some finicky kitties.
This is a good product and it’s good for your cat. Has all the benefits for good health. However, my cat just did not like this. It’s all good though…….. That’s just what cats do. I’d like to give it five stars but, I just didn’t get that reaction for my cat. It was not a waste of money, other cats in the neighborhood appreciated it!

My Cats Fav Treat
My cats absolutely love these treats! I use them as their âextra special treatâ and they go absolutely bananas for them. I also appreciate how nutritious they are. These treats give my cats a taste of something they rarely getâorgan meatâwhich adds a touch of the wild to their diet. Itâs fascinating to see them enjoy something that mimics their natural hunting instinct. However, the texture is a bit tougher than what theyâre used to. To make them more appealing, I cut them into smaller pieces and add about a tablespoon of warm water per heart, letting them steep for a minute. This softens them and enhances the flavor, making it more realistic to how they would originally be. My cats enjoy them much more this way! I highly recommend these treats!

Smell Great, But My Weird Cat Won’t Touch Them
I was excited to get these as I have never purchased treats for my boy. Don’t worry, he gets fresh chicken and turkey… a treat in itself! I wanted something easy though and he likes canned fish flavor cat food. I opened the bag and, honestly, the fish smells awesome! It’s a small bag, but there were quite a few in there and one treat day would last a couple of weeks or so. I held the open bag to my cat’s nose and sniffed with curiosity. I picked up a minnow and held it out to him and he walked away. I set it on the floor. He couldn’t care less. I laid it on top of his dry food. He won’t eat the dry food now. At dinner time he practically attacked me begging for wet food. Sa la vie! Sometimes I wonder if I have a normal cat. My weird boy aside, I’d say give it a try. They really do smell very good and it’s nice they are natural and have no colorings and flavorings. I’m honestly shocked my cat wouldn’t eat them. I plan to try cutting a small piece for him and see if he’d try that. If not, there are plenty of ferals outside who will probably gobble them up.Update: Changing my 3 star rating to 5 stars. The cats outside went crazy for these! I had strays walking up and taking them right out of my hand. One cat tried to follow me back in the house excited for more and then sat outside looking in the window with puppy dog eyes hoping. Cats definitely love them! I just have a weird cat.

I gave my 2 cats this for the first time last week. At first they were very sceptical of the treats as theyâve 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!

The product itself is fine, though there are hardly any pieces of heart for the price. Might be worth it for around 300 rupees and that would still be expensive — just check with your local butcher

I love these freeze dried minnows for my cats. They’re a healthy treat with only one ingredient. The cats are obsessed with them too. You can also give small amounts to pet rats as a treat.
