A Better Treat – Freeze Dried Organic Pumpkin Dog and Cat Treats, Organic, Single Ingredient | Natural, Healthy, Diabetic Friendly | Made in The USA

These treats are a hit in our house. One ingredient, organic pumpkin, and somehow my pets act like I just handed them a five-star meal. Dogs and cats approved, tails wagging, and zero hesitation. I love that they are freeze dried, clean, and simple. No weird additives, no mystery ingredients, just pumpkin doing what pumpkin does best. They are great as a treat on their own or sprinkled on food for a little excitement. Healthy, easy, and enthusiastically consumed. I will definitely be keeping these stocked for my very spoiled pets.

I'll start by saying that our Golden Retriever values these treats as much as chicken cubes! And I feel like the luckiest dog dad. At 0.2 calories per treat and really a dozen of these cubes equate to maybe a spoonful of pumpkin puree... it's like a freebie treat and a godsend. Goldens are food motivated but to accomplish all the training I want to accomplish, I'm limited by training treats being a salt/thirst bomb and other treats inevitably leading to diarrhea. These not only are extremely digestable but they also are pumpkin so they help to offset digestive upset from other treats. They're also far less messy and troublesome than opening and storing a can of pumpkin puree. But I would image if your dog is a pickier eater, these treats wouldn't excite them. Luckily, a Golden seems to believe anything you hand them is the most delicious treat ever. The only complaint I have is the value. A bag of these feel like a few ounces of puffs and considering it's maybe half a pumpkin's worth of product, the price feels very high.

The texture is very weird for these treats. They are similar to a marshmallow but tougher and more chewy. They have no smell and probably no taste. One of my cats tried the treat initially, but spit it right out. Both of my cats refuse to eat them.

Great treat, convenient and healthy.

My cats only like freeze dried food treats. They do not like Churru, temptations, etc. I was hoping they would like these freeze dried pumpkin treats for when they have an upset stomach but it’s a no go. They acted excited as I was opening the packaging because it sounds like their treats. When I put it down they just sniffed and walked away and looked at me like I had tricked them. I left them out for a little while hoping they go back and eat them. No such luck. They definitely look like a quality product just not for my cats. I will give them to a family member who has a dog who may or may not eat them.

Our cat is on a hydrolyzed protein prescription food due to allergies and recurring URIs, so while we do this “elimination” period she can’t have her usual treats. I wanted to look for a treat she could still have that had no animal protein. Then I found these! We already knew our cat likes 100% pumpkin puree from a can, as well as freeze-dried treats, so we figured we’d give these a go. It took her a second to recognize that they were treats since they don’t smell like your typical meat-based treats - she stood there sniffing them. But when she ate one you could see the lightbulb go off and now she gobbles them right up and screams when I bring out the bag. They’re a good size for a cat and I like that we can also easily crush them up as a topper or cut them in half for training. I love that there’s only one ingredient, just 100% pumpkin. I *don’t* love that these are $14 for just pumpkin when a can of puree at the grocery store costs about $3. Can’t say I’d continue to buy these long-term due to the price - hopefully we’ll be able to reintroduce some of our cat’s usual food and treats eventually, but for now these are perfect while we’re eliminating potential animal protein allergen sources.

While I appreciate the organic - freeze dried - made in the USA - one ingredient - pumpkin, it’s a tasteless/scentless puff of air nothingness. My cats played with it but did not consume. My chickens wouldn’t even eat it. Bummer. I suppose if I poured tuna juice over it, they would eat it. Oh well. 3 stars for the concept.

I’m very choosy when giving my Shih Tzu any treats over and above the food I cook for him. He is even pickier than I am but munches these treats without hesitation. Nutritious with just one ingredient and no fillers. A bit pricey compared to mediocre treats but worth every penny
