The New Zealand Natural Pet Food Co MEOW Freeze Dried Cat Treats - Lamb Green Tripe with New Zealand Green Mussel, High Protein, Healthy Cat Snacks and Toppers, All Natural for all Life Stages, 1.4 oz

Nice strong smell (as expected if you have ever smelled tripe, lol). Two of my three cats LOVE this stuff. Because it’s so smelly, they immediately know when it’s out. Makes a good treat for scent work for them.

Huge winner for all three cats. I like to hydrate it before serving. I use beef green tripe with green mussels as a topper or treat. It's hard to find something that please all three cats. This is it. It is soft enough for an older cat to eat or it can be hydrated a little bit, or you can crumble it up and use as a topper on their food. I only feed my cats raw. People think that it is too expensive to feed raw but, they eat less because they get ALL the nutrients they need from a raw diet.

My cats love these as a food topper. They have a warning on the bag about the smell and they were not kidding! They do smell very strong so I make sure to wash my hands well after handling them. I'm glad to be able to find healthy, reasonably priced treats for them.

Same of my cats don't want them but some do. Especially my hungry hippo of a cat loves them! Maybe the others aren't used to something fancy like venison. They're a little hard but easy to break which I find good. Some pieces are thin making them easy to break.Pretty expensive since it came with a little amount but it's deer so I guess that makes sense

These treats are so hard they are inedible. I have trouble even breaking them apart with my hands. One got stuck on my cat’s tooth and I had to intervene, now I fear it’s a choking risk. I’ve tried rehydrating them which does not work well.

Very hard, like a rock! Also why does it say “packaged 2023”? My cat loved the scent, nearly destroyed the bag ripping it open— but he wasn’t too keen on trying to eat it. He just tried playing with the pieces. I was very excited to try this new food with him, but I’m disappointed.

I experimented with a different brand of green mussel, only to find sharp seashell fragments in some of them, which was quite disappointing. Unsure if it was merely a stroke of bad luck, I switched to feeding my cat powdered green mussel instead. And my cat has since refused to consume it. But with this particular green mussel product, I haven't come across any seashell fragments, so I give it a five-star rating.

okay I had no idea that these were actual whole mussels. one of my cats loved it, the other was disgusted as was i. if you are sensitive to fishy smells avoid!! but it is great in terms of health benefits so it truly depends on the cat.
