WellnessKittles Crunchy Natural Grain-Free Cat Treats, Chicken & Cranberry, 2-Ounce Bag

Oh, yeah. It went on for years. My kitties (especially the conniving Russian Blue) had taught me that their regular dry food and canned food was just there for their critical perusal when there was absolutely nothing else to be offered for a few hours. And then up to the master bedroom I would go for some other reason than HANDING TREATS OUT! Now, this horrible mistake on my part began when these kitties were very young. In order to ENTICE them up for some queen-sized bed snuggling at night, out came some of the best known kitty treats to be delved out in way too large quantities! Oh, yeah! And then, their begging began anytime I approached near the bottom of the stairs to go upstairs!Oh, yeah. They had me good. Their beseeching eyes and whines and jumping up on my legs like they were dogs began to wear on me until they HAD me giving out "cookies," (as I called them and yes, they began to KNOW that word!), anytime of the day! Very high quality wet and dry food sat, hardly being touched. These four beauties, way too much loved, had gradually begged their way to my heartstrings. I began answering these beacons and calls for COOKIES to be the mainstay diet with the GOOD food being eaten only when they HAD to! AND there was ARTIFICAL RED DYE in these so-called "cookies"! I try not to eat artificial dyes or flavorings but here I was feeding these much loved buddies artificial colorings, especially, and on a VERY regular basis! WHAT WAS I DOING TO THEIR OVERALL HEALTH little by little by little?Things HAD to change. Things HAD to change. But how? You know how these fur babies can make you feel guilty so very easily!So I bought some of these Wellness treats. No artificial ingredients. No artificial colors. Better quality protein offered. No grains which can trigger sensitivities and stomach upset! At first, I mixed these with the other treats in a plastic container and shook them together. I delved them out and guess what? They either never noticed the change and/or they didn't care. They gobbled them up just as fast as they had the other artificially colored ones which HAD grains in them! Slipping these in and gradually changing over: I believe they never noticed the change for the better because their begging went on just as usual with this brand, and another healthy oriented brand, which gradually made up the total of their "cookies." No MORE JUNK FOOD! And they didn't appear to care at all!These are obviously crunchy and apparently taste very, very good for these four have rejected other "cookies," in the past but there was absolutely no rejection of these at all!Now, I am beginning not to put down so many treats throughout the day. I am a slow learner. My heart still sometimes controls my BRAIN when their begging begins. But at least now, the artificially and/or artificially flavored COOKIES are gone! And the NUMBER of treats has been very gradually reduced, basically FORCING them to eat the high quality dry and wet foods as the mainstay of their diets. I just wish my own diet was as good for ME as my cats' diet is for them! You know what I mean?Would I recommend these? Who cares if it is I who recommend these?No, THE FOUR MANIPULATING, WHINING, PICKY, PICKY, DIFFICULT TO PLEASE KITTIES RECOMMEND THESE FOR ALL HUMANS TO GIVE TO THEIR PICKY, PICKY KITTIES WHICH NEED A BETTER FOR THEM OPTION THAN MOST OF THE JUNK OFFERED OUT THERE FOR THEIR "COOKIES!"Humans, do the right thing. Try these out on your fur babies. Apparently tasty and crunchy and better for them than the supermarket brands by an immeasurable degree. Manipulative? Always, they will be! But now, who has manipulated whom? I have the last laugh on these very intelligent and loveable beasts!

My cat loves these cat treats, this flavor and the salmon flavored. They're reasonably priced and I like they aren't in a huge package that takes awhile to get through.

Switching to these from Temptation made me realize that the Temptation treats had been making my cat sick

My cat is a good, sweet member of my family so, of course, I believe it’s her absolute right to get treats (I think it’s somewhere in the small print of her adoption papers). I can’t even *move* her bag of Temptations from one place on the counter to another before she is under my feet and doing beggies.I saw this offering of Wellness Kittles on sale on Amazon and decided to give it a shot. The prices is low, but alas, so is the bag. We received our delivery yesterday and my cat felt obligated (ahem) to immediately sample and give a review.The 2oz bag feels like a sample size, but within it is a good product! The treats are all tiny, heart shaped and completely crunchy, unlike the house favorite (Temptations). These treats contain salmon, salmon oil, and cranberries. Maybe most importantly, unlike Temptations, these treats are grain-free. They also have limited ingredients and to my Cat Mom’s eye, they seem healthier than our usual choice. My cat doesn’t seem to realize they are healthy treats and enjoys them as much as her beloved “Catnip Fever MixUps.”I gave the product 4 stars only because when these treats are no longer on sale, it will be a hard sell. Still, I recognize the quality of these treats so I foresee myself ordering a bag of these on the regular to compliment her supply of Temptations.

My cat loves these treats. Would recommend.

Good product

My cat absolutely loves these treats! They’re the perfect size, soft and easy for her to eat, and the ingredients also seem great for her health!

While both my cats happily consumed these treats, one of them developed slightly bloody diarrhea as he doesn't crunch them as much as my other cat. The ingredients seem to be high quality, but the sharp edge (the heart shaped treats are an aesthetic lost on me since it is being consumed by animals that have no concern for shapes) means these treats are not good for my situation. If you have a kitty who doesn't crunch their treats before swallowing l would not recommend. Even if your cat is more thorough with chewing, there is a chance the sharp edge could cause issues. Fruitables and Greenies are the best alternatives with no gums or gluten (check the label as not all Greenies are this way) that I have found.
