Best Cat Treats for 2020

Do you remember the television advert with the cat who jumped through the wall at the sound of the treat box being shaken?

While your walls are probably safe from any destruction, your cat will probably come running in a very similar fashion. The treats are dual textures, with a crunchy outer and soft, flavourful inner for the perfect obsession.

They contain vitamins and minerals, with no artificial additives, so they are a healthy option for your cat. With two kcals in every treat, it is simple to adjust their normal meals.

There are a variety of flavours to choose from, with beef, cheese and salmon being three of the most popular. You can also purchase in various packet sizes.

Crunchy pockets filled with cheese and chicken, these little treats are ideal if you need to give your cat some ‘temptation’ in order for them to do what you politely ask.

They can be given up to 11-15 pieces a day, with each being two kcal in case you need to adjust their diet. They’re good for both adults and seniors, and added vitamins and minerals mean they are healthy too.

There are various other flavours available too, such as salmon and beef if your moggy has a particularly refined taste palate.

Your kitty’s breath stinks. You don’t know how, but there is no way you can get a toothbrush or paste anywhere near them.

These dental treats are a lot easier to administer, and can help to reduce the formation of plaque and tartar and freshen breath.

They are high in meat content so will appeal to the moggy and the creamy filling also is very tasty. Soya and wheat-free, they’re good for any cats who suffer from intolerances, and the entire VetIQ Healthy Bites range is suitable for any cats on weight management plans especially sterilised cats.

They’re also good for kittens and each piece is under 2 calories.

Cats can suffer from stress and anxiety just like any other animal. From changes to their environment to noise and busy homes, their sensitivity can lead to behavioural issues and health problems if left.

These treats are natural, with Valerian, Hop Flowers and the herb Melissa. As alternatives to chemicals, they won’t upset your cat, and you can give them two per day.

This is best for an ongoing issue, or it can be given around one and a half hours before the stressful event is set to take place (such as when you are off to the vet). For very nervous cats, it can be used in conjunction with the Beaphar Calming Spot-On, given at 3-hourly intervals, but give no more than six per day.

This is a multipack of treats which really gives in to your feline’s carnivorous instincts.

100% chicken, tuna, white fish and chicken liver, they are brilliant as rewards or to also give in to your cat’s natural hunting instincts. Strong smelling, they’re perfect for hiding around the house.

They’re wheat and gluten-free, and there are no added colours, preservatives or flavours. Using human-grade ingredients, they’re also freeze-dried, so both the scent and all of the nutrients are as though it was completely fresh – nothing has been lost.

They would be perfect for anyone who is feeding their cat a natural, raw diet or simply who doesn’t want them to pile on the pounds with those in-between meal snacks.

Able to freshen breath, scientifically proven to reduce tartar and a daily treat as a bonus, these Dentalife bites are from one of the leading brands in pet hygiene, so it is no surprise that they’re effective.

You get one packet of chicken flavour and another of salmon, so the majority of cats will be more than happy to receive one. The porous texture allows the teeth to penetrate the chew for a full clean.

Up to 17 treats can be given per day, so it would be good for those kitties who never stop meowing for another one. They also contain taurine, which is essential for a cat’s health and wellbeing.

Duck flavoured, these freeze-dried treats are packed with natural nutrients which should improve your kitties health as well as giving them a bit of love and attention.

The freeze-drying keeps all of the natural goodness of the duck, without compromising on taste, perfect for cats who love the full meaty flavour of their food. It is only premium meat cuts that have been used, so they are highly digestible and everything is grain and gluten-free.

They’re suitable for those aged between 1 and 6. Because they are so natural, they should be suitable for any cats with medical issues or restrictive diets too.

Vet IQ have treats which can help to tackle a whole range of medical issues, and each of these bites contains ingredients which can result in one happy healthy cat.

Urinary issues are common in cats, with things such as stress and anxiety often playing a part, but the causes can also be unidentifiable. But there are clear signs if your cat is suffering from it.

Every creamy bite contains Cranberry for healthy urinary tract, taurine for healthy eyes and heart, prebiotics to assist digestion and Catnip to stimulate exercise and play and Yucca plant extract to reduce litter tray odours.

Less than two calories per bite, they are great for anyone with weight issues too.

Felix as a brand needs no introduction, and this bag contains an irresistible, colourful mix of meaty treats which are sure to please even the fussiest felines.

They can sometimes get a bit fed up of the same thing over and over again, so the mix of beef, chicken and salmon will keep their tastebuds tingling. They’re also all packed with proteins, vitamins and Omega 6 to ensure a healthy inside.

These sticks are a little bit different from the usual one-bite treats you can buy, which is good if you need to keep your kitty occupied for a little while.
