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.

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💎

Must for any spoiled pups home
Omg my corgi loved them. I’m an empath and let me tell you the face and energy she cave off was kid in her first candy store. I’ve never seen her so happy (outside of using her princess charm on the boys in the Gaurage processing hunting season run way walking away with a shoulder) I wear my dog gives off my little pony rarity vibes. She absolutely loved these. Such a cleaver idea.

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.

Will buy again and again
Well, these things stink to high heaven, my dog absolutely loves them. Sometimes she doesn’t wanna eat her food unless I put a couple of them on top of it. They are extremely nutritious and worth the money. Not too terribly expensive and they last a long time. You’re only supposed to give them to a day, so there’s plenty in the back. However, don’t have the bag close to your face because they really stink.
