I'm on a mission to find healthy cat treats, specifically, anything that's good for the teeth and gums, but I get all confused when I read ingredients lists, I know to avoid by-products and corn ... but so many of the products out there have corn or corn products and I'm not sure which ones are good or bad or if its far enough down on the list the ammount of corn is insignificant. I have one cat who seems to have some food sensitivities, though we're not sure what irritates her, she has been doing well since I took her off of science diet and put her on Felidae (though she's not very happy about that). I get confused about the various oils used as well, I'm not sure which ones are good and which ones are problematic ...
Here are two of the treats that my guys like, I'm hoping to get some feed back on these products or suggestions for other treats we could try.
