Have you ever experienced your feline salute the air with their tail gracefully, standing in preparation of that magical moment when Kitty Treats erupt from the cupboard? Well, if you have, you would know the kind of power those little nuggets of joys hold. Yet of the myriad options out there, one of the rising stars of the menu for feline appetites is natural cat treats. Though they may seem like a simple snack, we know these tiny miracles are nutritious and delicious and, by all means, more than a bite. Why might they be very uniquely special?
The benefits of freeze-dried treats are that they still have color from the original meats, fish, or poultry, and the drying process keeps the original nutrients intact. That would have tasted so much better if that chicken Aunt Sally prepared last Thanksgiving had gone through that freeze-dry process.
Compared to common treats that are filled with sugars and chemicals only for flavor, freeze-dried treats do not lose their nutritional title, instead concentrated on protein and vitamins creating more cost-effective nutrition as well as flavor. What an ironic beauty, right? By attempting to offer a treat, we instead skip the trick.
Meat, for cats, essentially true carnivores, is some kind of siren. The dry, mildly flavored component that freeze-dried treats can have sometimes produces the most joyous of kitty shenanigans. Oh, and remember the last time your cat chased a mouse around the living room? Not necessarily something you can substitute with a treat, but as close as possible. Unlike sweetened or grain-laden treats, the freeze-dried kind are as close to a true carnivore could hope for, short of your feline seeking dinner for itself.
Ever stuffed an entire chicken breast into your pocket for later? Not advised. Snacks that are freeze-dried can check the portability box. Hide them in your purse or in your car perfect companion for those on-the-go days or spur-of-the-moment snack bonding in the park. So no more smelly smells or gooey glops!
