A Better Treat – Freeze Dried Organic Pumpkin Dog and Cat Treats, Organic, Single Ingredient | Natural, Healthy, Diabetic Friendly | Made in The USA

I purchased the pumpkin powder that you can rehydrate into pumpkin puree and my puppy absolutely refused to touch it. I bought these hoping he would like them instead and luckily he absolutely loves them! I give him some on the days where he was not so "solid" and these do the trick. I love that they are just pure freeze dried pumpkin so I know they are healthy for him. They are very small and the price is a tad high for these tiny little puffs but as long as my dog likes them I'll keep buying them.

These treats are a hit in our house. One ingredient, organic pumpkin, and somehow my pets act like I just handed them a five-star meal. Dogs and cats approved, tails wagging, and zero hesitation. I love that they are freeze dried, clean, and simple. No weird additives, no mystery ingredients, just pumpkin doing what pumpkin does best. They are great as a treat on their own or sprinkled on food for a little excitement. Healthy, easy, and enthusiastically consumed. I will definitely be keeping these stocked for my very spoiled pets.

The five adopted cats who live me did not find these to be a food. They sniffed and said no thank you. I put this rejected pricey bag of treats out on the deck for the creatures of the night. The Raccoons, Possums ate a few, not all, the next morning Chipmunk Nation carried the last away. I wanted this to work, sounds healthy, but the cats have the final say. (For the record, they have a teaspoon of organic pumpkin puree in their breakfast each day, so it's not the pumpkin smell that caused them to go thumbs-down.)

I'll start by saying that our Golden Retriever values these treats as much as chicken cubes! And I feel like the luckiest dog dad. At 0.2 calories per treat and really a dozen of these cubes equate to maybe a spoonful of pumpkin puree... it's like a freebie treat and a godsend. Goldens are food motivated but to accomplish all the training I want to accomplish, I'm limited by training treats being a salt/thirst bomb and other treats inevitably leading to diarrhea. These not only are extremely digestable but they also are pumpkin so they help to offset digestive upset from other treats. They're also far less messy and troublesome than opening and storing a can of pumpkin puree. But I would image if your dog is a pickier eater, these treats wouldn't excite them. Luckily, a Golden seems to believe anything you hand them is the most delicious treat ever. The only complaint I have is the value. A bag of these feel like a few ounces of puffs and considering it's maybe half a pumpkin's worth of product, the price feels very high.

My cats only like freeze dried food treats. They do not like Churru, temptations, etc. I was hoping they would like these freeze dried pumpkin treats for when they have an upset stomach but it’s a no go. They acted excited as I was opening the packaging because it sounds like their treats. When I put it down they just sniffed and walked away and looked at me like I had tricked them. I left them out for a little while hoping they go back and eat them. No such luck. They definitely look like a quality product just not for my cats. I will give them to a family member who has a dog who may or may not eat them.

Our cat is on a hydrolyzed protein prescription food due to allergies and recurring URIs, so while we do this “elimination” period she can’t have her usual treats. I wanted to look for a treat she could still have that had no animal protein. Then I found these! We already knew our cat likes 100% pumpkin puree from a can, as well as freeze-dried treats, so we figured we’d give these a go. It took her a second to recognize that they were treats since they don’t smell like your typical meat-based treats - she stood there sniffing them. But when she ate one you could see the lightbulb go off and now she gobbles them right up and screams when I bring out the bag. They’re a good size for a cat and I like that we can also easily crush them up as a topper or cut them in half for training. I love that there’s only one ingredient, just 100% pumpkin. I *don’t* love that these are $14 for just pumpkin when a can of puree at the grocery store costs about $3. Can’t say I’d continue to buy these long-term due to the price - hopefully we’ll be able to reintroduce some of our cat’s usual food and treats eventually, but for now these are perfect while we’re eliminating potential animal protein allergen sources.

My dog has a hard time eating these even though he has plenty of teeth. I ended up mixing it into his kibble and added water to re-hydrate it.

Got tired of buy a can of pumpkin every time my dog got constipated . 1 or 2 did the trick and saved me lots of money .
