PureBites Chicken Single Ingredient Freeze Dried Cat Treats, 5.5 oz

When the grand-kitties both got diabetes within weeks of each other (apparently partly due to the stress of a move) I started reading up on cat nutrition. Who knew that you cannot find ANY standard cat foods with the high protein content cats need ?!?! Crazy! So I went hunting for high protein foods (nearly nonexistent) and treats. That’s when I found these expensive little gems. They’re high protein and apparently delicious to most (though not all) cats. My daughter’s male cat loves them and her pickier female cat tolerates them 😂. With additional food changes (mostly a switch to wet food with way higher protein content) , both cats are either cured or in remission from their diabetes. These nutritious though pricey protein treats are better for cats than most cat food - so they’re worth the higher price if you can afford it.

Your cat will love it .

They’re pricey but worth it since our cat is diabetic. He loves these things

As a pet parent of a veritable zoo, I love my fur babies and consider them all part of my family - including all 12 chickens! Lulz! Accordingly, I feed them the best food and treats possible. To make sure they are healthy and happy, I keep their diet as natural and organic as possible. That includes treats. I often make my own, esp dog biscuits, but sometimes I just don't have the time. So I like to eep some ready made treats on hand. But finding healthy treats, esp for cats, is not an easy task. That's how I ended up trying PureBites! And I'm glad I did! Made from NOTHING other than pure chicken, these freeze dried treats are low calorie and high protein. So I feel great about giving them to my cats! And they go BONKERS for them! If I open a bag that even remotely sounds like the treat bag, they come running.... just in case! I alternate between the chicken and the ocean whitefish to give them variety. They love both! While 1.09 oz may sound like a small amount, these are freeze dried chunks of chicken, so it weighs over 90% less than fresh chicken. The package actually holds quite a bit! I'd say it's equal to approximately 1 1/2 large chicken breast halves. The package lasts my 2 rather spoiled kitties a month! They are offered on Subscribe and Save, so I just have it delivered without thinking about it! For anyone who is unfamiliar with freeze dried products, they are great and will last 25+ years when stored in a cool, dry place. Freeze drying uses a pressurized environment combined with extremely low temperatures to rapidly eliminate over 90% of the water in meat, vegetables, fruits, sauces, etc. By doing so quickly, the cell structure remains intact. That means that the texture is relatively unchanged. The result is a food product that can last for decades without degrading or becoming tainted by bacteria. It also reduces the weight dramatically, so storage is easy. Also, by freeze drying products like fruits and vegetables raw, nearly 100% of the original vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and enzymes remain intact! Raw fruits and veggies have naturally occurring lactobacteria on their skins/surface. I wish they had an organic option or at least one that didn't use factory farmed chicken, but that doesn't exist right now. I haven't even found organic or humanely raised freeze dried chicken for humans, yet. But that's my only complaint and it does;t warrant any reduction in rating since I knew what I was purchasing. Just putting my wishes out there! :-) These freeze dried treats are exceptionally healthy and both cats and dogs love them! Highly Recommend! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reply to this review, tweet me, or shoot me an email! There are links to both my Twitter and email in my Amazon profile. Thanks! I wish you happiness and health! :-)

My cat LOVES this freeze dried chicken. I also tasted it myself--tastes like chicken! Lol Only one ingredient (chicken), no seasonings, preservatives, etc. My only complaint is that the cubes of chicken are not durable. Because they're freeze dried, they're quite brittle, and a disappointing proportion (maybe 1/4 - 1/3 of it?) is just crumbs and dust. Cat still thinks it's crack, but it's hard to dole out a consistent amount from one time to the next or be economical about it or feed it on a blanket/cat bed (cuz the dust falls through the pile). The dust isn't an absolute deal breaker, but I may shop around to check for other options that might be a little bit more durable. I don't know if it would fare better if it was in a container rather than a bag? I dumped mine from the bag into a clean jar right after I received it because the zip seal was defective (as such things often seem to be), and it was already partly dust and crumbs when I first dumped it out.

The PureBites are great. Both of our picky eaters love the Chicken Breast. The only down side is that Amazon keeps sending the bags inside a padded bag, leaving our first Order mostly chicken dust and the second order with a lot of dust. Now, our cats will eat the chicken dust, that is not what we are buying. We are buying treats, not dust.

el producto es excelente pero la entrega de Amazon fue demorada e incumplieron con la entry dos veces

My cat loves them, but because of the purity of the ingredients, which is a good thing, about half of the treats are crumbled when the package arrives. Perhaps they could be packaged in a firm container so they arrive in treat form and not crumbs.

​If you're looking for a treat that will truly make your cat happy, look no further. PureBites Chicken Breast is simply the gold standard. The fact that it is 100% pure, freeze-dried chicken breast gives me peace of mind about what I'm feeding my pet no questionable fillers, just protein. ​However, the real testament to how incredibly good these treats are came this week. I thought I had safely tucked the "Super Value Size" bag away in the cupboard, but my cat, usually quite indifferent to his treat stash, had other ideas. I came home one evening to find the bag had been somehow dragged out and meticulously chewed open! ​Yes, he managed to eat through the entire bag it was completely gone on! There was nothing left but crumbs and a guilty, yet immensely satisfied, look on his face. ​This isn't just a treat; it's an obsession. It's a high-value reward for training, a delicious snack, and clearly, worth the risk of cupboard raids, according to my cat. If your cat is picky, I highly recommend trying these. Just make sure you store them in a container with a lock!

Product received exactly as expected. Bite sized pieces perfect for treats. There were some pieces shredded but thats okay, i just add them as topper on her food. Very healthy, good value. My cat loves it.

Great quality and price. Arrived earlier than expected. Would shop this seller again.

Cat loves it . Ingredients are clean

Product was not fresh and crispy
