Ten treats of a single ingredient in a 25 g bag. They are not cooked: they are frozen and the water is removed under vacuum, so they keep the smell of raw food, which is what a cat judges before coming closer. Use them as a treat or crumbled over the ration.
An adult cat needs about a quarter of the calories of a medium dog.
That is why portions here are much smaller than you would see with a dog, and why the four egg and dairy references should be given sparingly: lactose tolerance in the adult cat is limited.

Freeze-drying is what allows both things at once.
The food is frozen, then its water is removed under vacuum, with the ice turning directly into vapour without becoming liquid. There is no cooking at any stage.
This preserves the shape, smell and much of the nutritional value of the raw ingredient, while keeping it stable at room temperature without preservatives.
Yes. A little lukewarm water restores some of the original texture and releases more aroma, which can suit older animals or those with fewer teeth.
Once rehydrated, serve immediately and do not leave it in the bowl.
These are complementary snacks. As a general guide, treats should provide no more than 10% of daily calories. Since this is a dehydrated product, each gram is concentrated: it is light but nutrient-dense.
Cats need much less per day than dogs, so portions must be very small.
Yes, the entire range is suitable for both species. Portion size varies, as does suitability for some recipes: milk-based products should be given more carefully to cats.
