Has anyone successfully fed these to their cats? I like to feed the Pure Bites treats, but since one of my cats can only have duck for now, and Pure Bites does not offer duck, my options for her are limited. On the chewy.com website, it says that the treats are for dogs AND cats. However, there is a dog picture on the front of the container, and they are clearly labeled for dogs. Also, I don't know where the duck comes from--could be China.

Purebites has freeze dried duck.  I just googled freeze dried duck treats and found them.  Orijin makes them too.  

BTW, I HAVE tried the duck treats for Stella and Chewy's, and my cats would not eat them.  I think I might have tried the ones called "kisses".  I DO give mine S & C lamb patties (dog) broken up as treats, also rabbit. These are the ones that are considered meals and are supposed to be rehydrated.  I just break the patties up into small pieces and do NOT rehydrate them and give them tiny pieces as treats only.  And I'm pretty sure they do NOT source anything from China.

I should have mentioned that I could not find any Pure Bites CAT duck treats. I know that they have duck, but it is **** liver, not breast, and it's for dogs. Would this be okay for cats? I thought that too much liver was bad for them.

That should have said "duck" liver above, not whatever else it says. I must have hit an f instead of a d and had it edited.

Gosh, my error in that the Purebites Duck doesn't say anywhere on the package that it's LIVER versus just plain duck.  Odd, because on all their other packages, if it's liver, it says liver.  So odd.  Anyway, I always buy the Purebites for DOGS because the packages are so much less expensive, and it's the exact same stuff


It is ok to feed cats some liver as treats.  You may notice that Purebites sell Beef Liver CAT treats.  But you are correct in that you don't want to feed them too much liver.

The Stella and Chewy's freeze dried treats are fine to feed to cats
There is nothing in the product that will harm a cat - they're just 100% meat. http://www.stellaandchewys.com/dog-kisses.php In general, as long as the ingredient is just 100% meat or fish, it is fine to feed it to a cat even if the treat is labeled for dogs.

Here's another duck treat that is labeled for dogs but ok to give to a cat:
