Purebites/puresnacks

[Evie's Mommy]

My cats love them, so I bought the larger bag for dogs since it was cheaper. They have a hard time with the larger chunks so I tear them up but I noticed they're super greasy and oily. One piece even dripped oil.

Are they supposed to be like that? Or did I get a dud bag.
I don't remember if the ones for cats were that oily.

I have NEVER had anything oily come out of purebites freeze dried chicken from the LARGE bag, I use 6 bags a month for dogs and cats. I buy from Chewy.com

Occasionally I've run across oily pieces in the Purebites dog size (I also buy that size because of the price point). Some breasts have a LOT of fat on them, and I figure that's what that is. I believe Purebites are actually RAW when they are freeze dried...that's why their texture is pretty different from the other freeze dried chickens out there.

What mrsgreenjeens said. Though I've never really come across anything too oily. In fact I only get some residue on my fingers when I tear it up.

It's just fat. Sometimes you'll get fatty pieces.

Exactly: it's chicken fat. Which probably makes them all the tastier for cats!

Okay thank you everyone for your responses! I feel better now and will definitely buy more.

I've had that experience sometimes too. I just figured it fat and fine for them to eat.

Same experience here. Grabbed a chicken piece that was a bit more tan compared to the rest and gave it to my kitten. She stuffed it in her mouth and spat it back out. I grabbed the piece (thinking it was too big for her), ripped it in half and got a good amount of oil on my fingers. She ate it all after that.
