Pure Bites Supplemental food

I saw it in Petco the other day. I looked like it was mostly broth to me with some shredded chicken. It really looks like a smaller, more liquidy version of Soulistic's Good Karma or Weruva's Paw Lickin Chicken. I passed on it.
I've seen these and have also passed on them. If you look at the guaranteed analysis (http://www.purebites.com/en/products/cat/whole-food/chicken/), the moisture content is 87% max. Each container is about 30 calories. It's just a very expensive treat, IMHO.
I agree. That is exactly what it is. As a matter of fact, Petco had them in the treat aisle. All 3 of my cats adore the freeze dried Pure Bites chicken. We'll stick with that. I get the big bag intended for dogs through my Amazon subscribe and save.
I wish that they would move Applaws to the treat aisle as well. None of their foods (in the U.S. at least) are nutritionally complete/balanced, and the thought that customers who don't read labels carefully may end up feeding these foods as a complete diet really scares me. The employees at my local stores don't seem to know much about the brand, and just assumed that the canned foods were nutritionally complete!
I'm so glad I decided to do a search before I started a thread. I too saw the PureBites & Applaws foods & couldn't understand, if they don't have any vitamins or taurine, how is that even cat food? There is no difference from those "foods" to me cooking a chicken & giving it to my cat. They need more than that & it's sad that people are gonna see the small ingredient list & think wow - what a great product!
