PureBites Turkey Cat Treats, 0.49-Ounce

Since I have never had a cat before adopting Lulu, I didn't know what would taste good to her when I first shopped for treats, let along healthy ones. I decided from the beginning that I wouldn't feed her junk foods out of concern for her overall well-being, and because I had to be careful not to do more damage to her teeth: she came to me with advanced dental decay that required surgery, and now only has 3 teeth left, so she prefers treats that are easier to chew (on top of being too hard for her to chew, some pet foods and treats contain sugar, grains, and other ingredients that could promote further tooth decay).I bought the PureBites Turkey treats on a whim because they are straightforward and don't have any by-products or grains: they are just turkey! I have also tried giving her Blue Buffalo jerky-type treats, and while I think she would also have liked the flavor of those, she prefers the PureBites because I think these melt in her mouth and are easier to chew. So, from my experience, these treats have been great for a cat with special dental needs! I will be buying these from Amazon more often because, as with most things, they are cheaper on here than in the pet store.As for the taste, even though she is usually cautious with new foods, she LOVES these: one night I forgot to put them away where she can't reach them, and I woke up to her bringing me the pouch lol. I have to say after going through that experience, it's an added bonus that it's a more-or-less cat-proof pouch and she couldn't really open it on her own. They work well as a motivation tool: she gets in her carrier by herself if I put a few in the back, reducing stress of going to the vet for both of us. When she needed surgery and was fasting, these treats are really convenient because I could break off a tiny piece or use just the powder at the bottom to get her to go in without actually feeding her a whole treat.They won't fatten your cat up if you give the treats out sparingly (which is easy to do with the PureBites because you can break off smaller chunks of the treats if you need to), she is motivated by them because they taste so good to her, and they don't seem to agitate her gums when she eats them. This is our go-to treat!

They are healthy freeze dried turkey treats. My cats LOVE them! I like to spoil my cats once in a while so this is nice that amazon has these to order whenever I feel the need to order some. Buying the $5 bag does give you more. It is still nice to have the option between a small bag or a slightly bigger bag. Be wary these treats will disappear, my cat has the tendency to go where the treats are hidden just to try to steal one! :)

My cat loves this.

Cat owners, if your cat likes PureBits, purchase the dog sized cuts. The cat sized cuts turn to powder because the pieces are cut so small. While you can still use this powder as a food topper, it defeats the purpose if you're hoping to use them as a treat. The dog sized cuts are a bit bigger, and result in less breaking down in the package and less powder. And if the pieces are too big for my cat, I just break them up into smaller pieces or use scissors to cut them smaller. In summary PureBites are great, it's just the cat sized treats crumble too much making it a waste if you're hoping to use them for treats and not for food toppers.

Every cat owner should know that their cat will become addicted to these treats. My gal LOVES them. If she is out late and I want her in, I simply crinkle the bag and she runs for the door. She can even tell if I am trying to trick her with a different brand... the crinkle just isn't the same, so she snubs her nose and saunters past. The turkey and the shrimp are her favorite flavors. These are a MUST have.
