3 Favorite Cat Treats & Dog Treats

FTC notice

Karma-Kat, Shadow-Pup, and Trinity-Kitten have distinct preferences and personalities. Yes, I’m one of those hoomins who turns healthy table food into dog treats and cat treats. Interestingly enough, though, my three furry stooges actually have three favorite pet treats. In no particular order, here’s what turns on the wags and purrs at our house!

Greenies Dental Treats

Shhhh, don’t tell them that Greenies are GOOD for them! Yes, the product comes in a few different flavors (pumpkin spice? gingerbread?!) and sizes–big ones for big dog treats, and these cat-shaped small ones for cat treats. I get the jumbo-size canister and use them to treat all the pets. You don’t see Karma in the picture because he’s waiting (out of frame) for me to toss them across the floor. Then it’s sniffy-seek-and-munch time!

All three of my furry wonders get great dental checkups from the vet. I suspect part of that has to do with routine use of dental treats designed to help prevent problems. You can get Greenies at most pet pet product stores, the pet aisle at grocery stores, and of course, order Greenies from Chewy or from Greenies on Amazon.

Churu for Cats (but Shadow-Pup loves it, too!)

In many flavors, the Churu squeezable soft mousse treat from Inaba turns Karma and Trinity into gobble-monsters! I keep the tubes in the table drawer next to the sofa and usually treat in the evenings. All it takes is the rattle of the drawer-pull to bring both cats running from anywhere in the house. In the picture you can see how Trinity paw-claws my hand (usually with both paws!) to muscle Karma out of the way and hog it all for herself. I get mine in bulk either purchasing Churu from Chewy (30% off Churu Cat treats with code: CYBER30 on Chewy), the local pet products store, or Churu selection on Amazon.

Shadow also insists on a taste. But he’ll put his whole muzzle over the entire tube and strip it all in one big swallow. The cats are NOT amused. Churu does offer meal toppers for dogs (just found those on Chewy here) but to be honest, I’ve not tried those. Have you? I prefer a lickable treat. So I was thrilled when a new-to-me company reached out and sent Shadow their product to sample.

Rigby Pets Squeeze Pouch for Dogs

Made for dogs with organic, whole-food ingredients. Shadow became an immediate fan. Billed as “treats so good you don’t need a leash,” they can be used for training or treating anytime. Both the beef and chicken flavors were winners for Shadow. And yep, the cats wanted in on the treat bonanza, too!

I see on the RigbyPets.com website that a turkey flavor will soon be available (great if you don’t want to share from your Thanksgiving table, right?). They’re also touted for helping administer medication. And, for Black Friday, they’re giving a discount for first time orders. They’re also available here on Amazon.

Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Rigby is the first-ever premium squeeze pouch company for dogs, striving to cultivate better relationships between humans and their pups. We believe that dogs deserve the same level of nutritional excellence as every other member of the family. All Rigby pouches are made with 100% organic ingredients, no fillers, binder or preservatives, and are sourced from some of the best quality farms in the country.

Why Do Dogs Roll on Poop and Like Stinky Nasty Schtuff

Does your dog roll in poop? We lived on the river when I grew up, and our Shelties always loved to find dead fish and roll in the stink. Here in Texas, our German Shepherd loved to visit the next-door neighbor horse, and not only roll in nasty stuff, but sometimes even EAT the crap, ew! Learn why dogs do this dirty deed in the post.

Do You Suffer with Pet Guilt? You’re Not Alone!

As a pet lover, do you ever wonder if you’re doing enough? Or do you ever find yourself comparing your parenting with what you see other pet parents doing with or for their pets? Are you consumed by guilt every time you have to leave your cat or dog alone or decide to say no to something that would be good for them? (Like that uber-expensive spa treatment or therapy?) Trust me, you’re not the only one dealing with pet guilt. Here are tips to help you deal.

National Adopt a Dog Month: Top 6 Popular Puppy Posts

It’s NATIONAL ADOPT A DOG MONTH! How will you spend your celebration? Wait, your dog didn’t tell you? Well, for Shadow, it’s “dog week” every week of the year, but the “official” celebration takes place the 4th week of September every year — and has been celebrated since the first event in 1928. But October celebrates dog adoptions all month long. Check out my most popular dog-centric blogs in this post.

BITE Prevention for Halloween: 9 Ways to Keep Fangs At Bay

Have you thought about dog bite Halloween safety? and I’m not talking about vampires, either. Many dogs enjoy the howl-idays. But dogs biting kids happens more often at this time of year than any other.

This is a timely subject so I try to revisit the information every year. I write about this every year because it’s so darned important. With Halloween in the offing, this is the perfect time to brush up on dog safety issues and protect your kids, too.

To give equal time, there are many kitty-centric Halloween myth-teries you’ll find fascinating, especially about black cats.

While nonstop doorbell rings and visitors showering attention may be doggy bliss for your pet, even friendly laid back pooches get their tails in a twist over the disruption to routine. That can be dangerous for the pet—and for the human. Learn more about dog bites and kid safety here…

Black Cat Appreciation Day & Halloween Black Cats

August 17 is Black Cat Appreciation Day to counter the Halloween black cat negative myths. Of course, those folks who share their lives (and pillows!) with a special black cat know better. Sadly, too many black cats remain in shelters rather than being adopted.

In fact, some evidence supports the notion that black cats (one of the first “mutations” of wild coat color), enhanced what I call the feline friendly factor. Black cats often seem to be much more agreeable and love spending time with their chosen human. Maybe that’s why so many of the so-called witches were associated with black kitties.

People have more difficulty picking cats because they assume all felines are the same. And because usually, cats pick us.

Halloween Pets Safety: Protect Pets from Halloween Goblins

Halloween pet safety is needed every year. Halloween at its best is a night of mystery, fun, and thrills for human children and many adults. It’s important to keep your human kiddoes safe with these tips, but no less important for the pets. I write about Halloween pets safety every year because it can be a nightmare for your furry kids.
