LIFE ESSENTIALS BY CAT-MAN-DOO Freeze Dried Sirloin Beef, Dog & Cat Treats, No Additives, No Preservatives -(6 OZ Bag)

Pros:Just pure meat! I do not allow my cat to have grains as those do not belong in a feline diet. Also, many treats are fortified with inexpensive vitamins that may not be in the best form. With these, I do not need to worry about the cat somehow gaining access to the treat drawer, as even if she should over-indulge, it won't hurt her. Each treat is large enough to snap in half. You can see this in the photo, through the window on the bag. For reference, that is an adult, 7 lb cat. The treats are dehydrated from ground meat. The color and texture are even, and I haven't vseen anything that would suggest fillers (to the naked eye).Sometimes I have divided each half of a treat even further to offer them more often (when potty training), but then they do start to crumble less predictably, rather than breaking as cleanly. The crumbs make a nice topping for wet food, but I prefer to keep these in a treat form. These do break apart easily as the cat eats them, so I have had no worries about choking. These also come in a heavyweight ziplock bag that keeps them fresh, as long as your pet doesn't chew on it. :)Cons:If you have a cat that has lost teeth, though, or is otherwise less adept for any reason, just break these into smaller pieces to prevent choking. You could also soak them to offer a wet treat, especially for cats that usually eat kibble. If my pet had any choking concern, I would just take care of breaking them all, immediately, in case of the pet's "unauthorized" access.You get what you pay for, so these are more expensive than the lesser quality treats. That matters most for the smaller bag. I started with that one to make sure my cat likes them, then quickly went ahead with a more economical, large bag. My cat will do anything for these, so it might be a con if she learns to open drawers because of them. 😉 Finally, these treats are not going to work in any type of treat dispenser that I have seen, as they are too large for that.I hope that this is helpful to you. Do let me know, and happy shopping!

We have 3 cats in the house. They always love the chicken flavored Life Essential treats so I thought I would see what the Sirloin was about. They LOVE these!

Delicious and they seem healthy. I highly recommend.

My kitten Jaxon is 4 months old so I have just introduced him to treats. He loves them. They are not full of additives like some treats so I like that he is eating a healthy snack. I will continue to buy these!

My cats love them. They can be easily broken in 2 with your fingers or split with first crunch.Bu pleaseeeee ship it in a box instead of an Amazon bag as they smash easily!! One star loss due to this reason.

my dog didn't like it - the treat size was too small

Tiny dried burgers.. the cats love them! Not too hard, and can be easily broken into smaller pieces for cats.

Don’t take my opinion, take what my kitty thinks about these treats. That’s right, my kitty gets these treats each day when we do his training session. They are his highest value treats. If I want to get him to do something he is reluctant to do, these are the reinforcements to use. I break them in half fir him as the bites are a bit bug fir a cat, but they break easily.
