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.

August 30 Is National Holistic Pet Day! But What Is Holistic Pet Care?

Have you ever considered holistic medicine for your pets? There are many questions about what is holistic pet care. Is it the same thing as what your regular vet offers? There are many names for offering traditional medicine for pets. Some call it alternative medicine or natural healing. But are there specific definitions, and is holistic pet care a good choice for your cats and dogs? August 30 is National Holistic Pet Day, so it’s a good time to revisit asking these questions.

Why Dogs Bark & How to Stop A Dog from Barking

Do you know how to stop dog barking? “Will you please, for the love of doG, stop barking!” When Shadow-Pup joined our family, he and Bravo-Dawg egged each other on. Now that he’s the only dog, he and the cat tease each other and prompt bark-fest and meow-athons.

Here’s what you need to know about barking to help stem the noise.

Dog Ticks: All About Ehrlichiosis

This disease has been reported worldwide wherever these ticks are found. Most cases in the United States occur in dogs living in the Texas Gulf coast regions and other southern states. All dogs are susceptible, but those with greater exposure to ticks. Outdoor dogs, working dogs and hunting dogs are at highest risk. Here’s what you need to know.

The DOs and DONTs of Camping with Your Dog or Cat

Summer arrived even earlier than expected this year, with temperatures hitting triple digits by mid-June. There’s still plenty of pet camping season left. Even though camping with pets isn’t for me, I know lots of folks who LOVE it, including my brother and his dog. He takes the dog with them camping, boating, skiing, and pretty much everywhere.

Bringing your furry one along camping (or glamping) is a great bonding experience. But before you pack up and hit the road, look over my DOs and DONTs of camping with your dog or cat.

What to do when camping with a pet

First, decide if your pet will enjoy camping. Not all will enjoy it. My Karma-Kat would HATE camping. He’s a homebody, and enjoys watching birds, bunnies, and squirrels through the window, but freezes when his paws hit the grass. Shadow-Pup’s more adventurous and probably would do better…

How to Get the Most from Vet Visits: What to Ask & How to Ask

When I worked as a veterinary technician many years ago, pet parents ask questions all the time, but rarely to the vet. Folks often acted embarrassed, or waited to telephone from home hours or days after the appointment. Perhaps they felt intimidated by the doctor when they take pets to the back, or feared their questions were foolish. Maybe the busy schedule of the clinic offered little opportunity to ask…
