If they are just dog treats and that's what you intend them to be for the cats, then I would think its ok. My cats have stolen Keno's soft dog treats before and ate them - they don't like them that much, but it has not hurt them.

Sharky - this is almost like an oxymoron

I second that - also judging by the ingredients, I don't see how it could harm your kitty - but again, I would feed it as a treat only.

I have three in a town of 20000 so while you have to look for them they are not an Oxymoron ... two have degree s in companion animal nutrition

I use this formula with mine after a TALK with one of those nutritionally minded vets .... I use it in place of treats and it hydrates well which I like...

If you want to be VERY cautious I would use the stella and chewys Carnivore crunches as they have cat directions on the package for use as a snack .. I also use these

stella and chewys said there product could be fed to cats also
however Cupido went into the closet and vomited mucous last night
after the hell I went through when he was younger I cant afford for his sake
and my vet bill[that one was 300$] to make him sick with food

on to some other product
thank you for all the replies
