The ultimate "cat parent" hack—cheaper, bigger, and my cat is obsessed!
If you have a cat, stop buying the tiny "cat" version of these and just get this dog bag! It is literally the exact same single-ingredient minnows, but you get a much bigger bag for a way better price. Why my cat (and my wallet) loves these: The "Obsession" is Real: My cat goes absolutely feral for these minnows. I just have to crinkle the bag and he appears out of nowhere. It’s his favorite high-value treat by a mile. Actually Healthy: I love that there’s no mystery gunk or fillers. It’s just freeze-dried minnows, so I feel great about giving him a "clean" snack that’s packed with protein. The Perfect Hack: The "cat" version of freeze-dried minnows is usually half the size for the same price. This 2.5 oz bag lasts so much longer, and since the fish are the same size, he doesn't know the difference. Great for Toppers: If he's being picky with his dinner, I just crumble one of these over his wet food and he clears the bowl. If you want to spoil your cat without getting ripped off by "cat-specific" packaging, this is the way to do it. 10/10—my cat is officially a minnow addict!

Worth the money. My dogs love it and it doesn’t smell fishy.
I have two rat terriers and my oldest rat terrier loves them and it adds extra oil so her skin stays soft. She loves the taste of them. My other rat terrier just likes to play with it. I have purchased this item many times because the value is great and my dogs love it.

Best healthy and low calorie snack for dogs and cats!!!
These are the best little snacks and an alternative to raw. I prefer feeding raw however these have made the best training snacks as my Aussie pup is highly motivated with these little minoes. She’ll do about anything to earn one! They’re tiny, crunchy and very low calorie with a punch of high quality protein and I especially recommend for kibble fed dogs that need some healthy protein! If you have an overweight dog I highly recommend these as treats. 2 calories isn’t much per minoe and again my dogs love these. They’re the entire minoe and easy to give

My dogs love the crunch of the whole minnows.
I really like these because I feel confident that they are safe and high quality. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love them! They are usually around $10, which is a decent price for freeze dried raw protein. My dogs love the crunch of the whole minnows. They are a great source of Omega fatty acids. I use these in two ways.. I either hide them in their snuffle mats for enrichment, or I use a zester to shave them down into a fine powder. It makes a perfect food topper to add a boost of flavor for my pickier eaters. It’s a great way to change things up without adding junk to their diet. I really appreciate that they come in so many different protein varieties. Since some of my dogs have a chicken allergy, being able to stick to rabbit or duck is a huge win. Highly recommend for anyone looking for clean, high value treats!

One Ingredient! Minnos!
These lil guys have “ONE” ingredient! Minnos! I’m unsure about the “Freeze-dried” Butttt, Cookie’s Veterinarian said, “The smaller the treat, with five or less ingredients, is good for her!” Brilliant💎

Seems like an outstanding cat treat.
I read that dogs love this sort of treat, and the brand is certainly worthwhile and trustworthy. Are 6-year-old Maltipoo thumbed his nose, but my son's cat lost her mind over this. If you're buying for a cat I don't think you can go wrong.

Appear to be Irresistible to dogs, cats and chickens.
My dogs and cat love these! I have a new adopted stray who when I started leash training would simply lock up and lay down. The antiquated and frankly awful method was to drag them until they gave in. I can't. I coax her up to a stand with these minnows and then have her follow the treat until she's moving forward well and then pop it into her mouth as she's trotting. She doesn't lock up anymore and is heeling great. Now she gets an occasional freebie. Has anyone else been tempted to taste one? They sound delicious when my pets eat them. Just curious. I'm fine really.
