Whole Dried Sardines for Cats - Single Ingredient Fish Treats 2.5 oz

Whole wild-caught sardines, dried and nothing else — a complete little fish, small enough for a cat to take whole.

The fish is the Goldstripe Sardinella, and each one runs around two inches. Because the whole fish goes into the bag rather than a fillet, each treat brings the protein of the flesh and the minerals of the bone together in one piece, which is what puts the protein at 58%.

They are dried rather than hard, so a sardine breaks apart easily between your fingers. That makes them simple to portion for a smaller cat, and each whole treat works out at about 5 calories.

How to serve them

Whole, or broken into pieces for a smaller cat. Keep an eye on your cat while they are eating and leave fresh water out. Treats are meant for intermittent or supplemental feeding, so keep them to a small part of the day.

What to expect

• One ingredient: whole sardine. No fillers, additives or preservatives.
• A whole little fish, eaten head, tail and all.
• Silvery skin that wrinkles as it dries, with the scales and fins still on.
• Dried, so they break easily rather than needing to be chewed hard.
• Length varies from fish to fish, because the fish did.
• A strong natural fish smell, with nothing added to cover it.
