I got some freeze dried chicken treats (Cosma Snackies) for my cat after hearing how so many people's cats go crazy over them and she totally ignores them. I tried giving them to her plain and soaked in water, and on top of her (wet) food, she is just not interested. So I was wondering if they had enough smell to entice her, and I couldn't really smell anything. So then I tasted one and it had about as much flavor as cardboard.

Does this brand just suck or are all freeze dried treats pretty scentless? (Anyone else ever taste test their cat's treats? I was thinking of using them in soup so they don't totally go to waste..... they are 100% chicken, after all.)

I have used Purebites chicken treats and they don't smell like anything to me, but my cats love them. I haven't tasted them myself. They also like freeze dried salmon and shrimp. The salmon does have a mild scent that I can detect, but all three apparently smell really good to the cats.

I've used a couple different brands, and both my cats love them. I can't smell anything either, but that doesn't seem to matter to the cats. Maybe it's just too novel to your cat and she doesn't recognize it as food. :dk:

My cats and dog do backflips for purebites ( I buy the large dog bag online, same stuff as cats) freeze dried chicken
Same here. I get the large bag (11.6 oz) with the dog on it from Amazon using the subscribe and save for $20.44 shipped with my 15% discount for having 5 or more items in my order. A 1.09 oz bag of the same treats with the cat on the bag goes for $5.49 at Petco.
