I'm glad you mentioned this, as I was going to. I cannot believe the difference in price between what they "market" as the "cat" purebites and the "dog" purebites, when, indeed, they are exactly the same thing! It's ridiculous. I just bought a 6.2 oz bag at a local pet supply store for about $20. I think the cat size is .3 (that's POINT 3 oz) for about $4!!!!!!!!!

I believe so. I love that some companies, such as whole life and fresh is best, source their meats from us sources as well as package them here. I believe Grandma Lucy's would be another treat line that does the same, possibly Dr. Harvey's, I'd check (as someone else mentioned) Etta Says. Not sure how halo treats compare, always found them much more expensive and never chose to use or offer them in my business.
Sure it can - all it takes is the meat to be processed at all by a pet food facility - as much as grinding - for that USDA inspected label to come out.
I read a lot of baby food is made with onions, which are toxic to cats, so I would rather feed unhealthy treats.Oh goodness. I used to take jars of baby food with me to shows, as well as kitty kaviar
I've heard that some meat baby foods have onion powder, so I always check the ingredient list. I've never found one with onion powder, out of every brand I've looked at :dk:. The only additive I've seen is cornstarch for thickening, but most don't even have that. I wonder if maybe baby food used to have onion powder back in the '80s or something. Anyway, I use it for sick kitties and ferrets and no problems yet. Just read the ingredients.
Do you really think I'd feed my guys onions? I read labels
and buy the just meat ones that do not contain onion.
Exactly..and yes, Kitty Kaviar is shaved bonito..lovely "flower" petals of fish!I've heard that some meat baby foods have onion powder, so I always check the ingredient list.

I think Kitty Kaviar is bonito flakes.
He would eat them and noticed his cats interest. My husband and I used to watch the original Iron Chef show, and one of my favorite of the chefs (don't ask me to spell his name) would always make his 'broth of vigor' using the japanese name for these flakes. I see them in the oriental grocery stores but haven't had the gumption to try them in a broth yet.
I babysat and was offered 2 jars that the baby didn't like for the cats and took them as a treat and when I went buy more gerber was on sale and checked label before stocking up and saw that. I stick with the purer 1 or 2 depending on sales.
Not sure, I and the other folks I showed with knew to just look for the early stages, just meat foods. Plus over the years, I've used baby food as an appetite tease for my crf kitties I.e. after a sub-q fluid treatment, I'd give patrick a baby spoonful of baby foodAren't the 3rd stage foods chunky? Which is why I never looked at them, I guess.
I suppose it's time I tried them. I am certainly used to their aroma <G>.
