? Bonito Flakes

[AshleyDiamond]

I have read about Bonito Flakes and how they are a good treat for our kitty's. I purchased PureBites Freeze Dried Chicken which my boy loves but they are quite expensive so I wanted an alternative for cheaper. I plan to use them as another treat and also as a food topper on those stubborn days. I purchased these off Amazon and just wanted to make sure they were 100% okay to give to him. Has anyone else used these?

About the PureBites… you can get the ones for dogs in a larger bag, and it is cheaper. The pieces are larger (except a lot get broken in shipping anyway), so you have to break them up, but it is the same thing. Amazon has a 6.2oz bag right now as an add-on item for $6.82. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Z3P9FS/?tag=felinediabetesfdmb-20

I think @JanetNJ knows about bonita flakes. I believe she is the one I have seen post about them.

These are the ones I give my cat Julie. She really likes them. These are fine for a treat.

I use them for topping okonomiyaki, and tried them for testing treats for Idjit. Unfortunately he doesn't like tuna and they didn't work for us, but the Pure Bites are a big hit.

Wow that is a great deal for those. We will have to find something we need or want and grab a bag. I do actually buy the dog sized ones though versus the cat because its a much better deal.

Like Janet, I use this brand, too. All my cats love them. I crumble a few over their meals as a topper and they go wild for it!

@JanetNJ @Idjit's mom thank you for the response. I thought they were okay but I still wanted to be 100% because of the package. Lol.

@Squalliesmom awesome! I'm glad. At first my boy was iffy but once he got a taste he loved them. I did get two bags and didn't realise how big they actually were. The date on them is January 2019. I hope we will use them both up before then

Otherwise you'll have to make some Miso soup. Lol

Eek. I don't know about all that lol. They smell horrible as is haha. I am curious what they taste like though.

They taste fishy, and have, to me, an odd consistency. I do think they'd probably make a nice broth, though!
