The Feline Happy Crunchy & Creamy Cat Treats are small two-tone bites with a crisp baked shell around a soft creamy centre, sold in a resealable 60 g pouch in chicken, salmon or duck.
Key Features
- A crisp baked shell around a soft creamy centre — the texture is the point, and it is what tends to work on cats that ignore plain dry treats
- About 2 kcal a bite, so they can be used for training and rewards without much calorie cost
- Analytical constituents: around 25% protein, 22% fat, under 1% fibre, roughly 8% ash and 9% moisture, with calcium and phosphorus both around 1%
- Enriched with vitamin A at 6,000 IU/kg, vitamin D3 at 700 IU/kg and vitamin E at 60 mg/kg, plus omega-3 and omega-6 for skin and coat
- No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives — preserved with ascorbyl palmitate and rosemary extract
- Resealable 60 g pouch, which the pack rates at about 27 servings
- Made by Mark & Chappell, the Irish pet healthcare company behind the VetIQ range
Feeding
- Mark & Chappell's guide is up to 6 bites a day for a kitten or a cat under 2.5 kg, and up to 12 a day for a cat over 2.5 kg
- Cut the main meal back to match. Treats are additional calories, not free ones
- Break a bite in half for a kitten or a small cat, or to make a pouch stretch further through a training session
- Always leave fresh, clean drinking water available
Storage
- Reseal the pouch after each use and keep it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight
Available in: Chicken, Salmon and Duck, 60 g each
Good To Know
- A treat, not a food. These complement a complete diet rather than replacing any part of one
- At the top of the manufacturer's range — 12 bites, around 24 kcal — you are already at roughly a tenth of what an average 4 kg indoor cat eats in a day. If your cat is carrying weight, work from the lower end
- All three flavours are built on the same poultry-and-rye base. The salmon variety is poultry-protein led with salmon protein further down the list, so it is not a fish-only treat and will not suit a cat that is avoiding chicken
- Contains milk derivatives. Most adult cats are lactose intolerant to some degree, so if dairy gives your cat loose stools, these are worth avoiding
- Fat runs at around 22%, which is high for a treat. That is a large part of why cats like them, and why the daily limit is worth respecting
- Supervise kittens while they are eating, and stop the treats altogether if your cat goes off its main food until it is eating normally again
