We've really cut back on the treats that we'll give our cats.
The more we read labels, the less packaged foods we buy for us, and the choosier we get even for our pets.
There's just too much junk in them all!
Now, Friskies often uses a lot of fillers, but cats love the taste. I think they have figured out the
equivalent of kitty-MSG! However, these are one of the less junky treats for your cats.
We've had them 2 or 3 times now, and they are always eaten. Believe me, we have several opened bags
of uneaten treats in the drawer that our cats have refused to eat, so always glad to see them like something.
The cheese flavor is their favorite Crispie, but one of our cats likes the salmon one too.
We still don't buy them very often, because for some reason, Friskies can't seem to sever their love
affair with corn products in their cat food and cat treats. Cats don't need or want corn, so it has to be a cheap
filler for the manufacturer.
The ingredients are as follows:
Brewers rice, chicken meal, corn gluten meal, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E), animal liver flavor, malt extract, natural and artificial flavors, phosphoric acid, brewers dried yeast, dried cheese powder, added color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5 and other color), salt, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C), citric acid, BHA (a preservative), BHT (a preservative), calcium carbonate. A-6215.
So, are they perfect? No, but they are crunchy, taste cheesy, and the cats do like them.
One note brewers yeast is NOT the same yeast you make bread with, so don't worry about that.
