I use them for my cat Maggie. She loves it! Also churu tubes online only. Warning- the nuro brand has chick peas

I used Tiki Cat Stix treats for Feeby. She liked them at first and then decided they weren't so great. Since then, I have also used (as mentioned above) Inaba Churu which was also quickly 'rejected' by Feeby. In addition to those, I also still am able to use Temptations Purree, Vitakraft, Wholehearted, Catit, Fussie Cat, and Delectable Squeeze Ups - all lickable treats. Feeby's favorites are Tempatations and Squeeze Ups, although I do rotate them with the others, so she doesn't get tired of any one of them. I am using them to 'hide' meds/supplements.

One of my beauties loves them, the other not so much. She prefers her crunchy treats.

Honestly I have never used the Tiki Cat sticks but i do use the tuna and mackerel in a can from Tiki Cat, they do offer high Quilty foods. What i use instead as a treat is the Blue Buffalo burst with savory seafood cat treats and my Bengal loves that.

I haven't looked at the Tiki Cat sticks, but if your cat has seafood sensitivities check the ingredients. I've found that some of the "chicken" ones have some sort of fish in them (no good for my girls' tummies).

If they can have fish that's great. My older girl is having tummy troubles after some food that had salmon oil.

I do really like Tiki Cat as a brand. My cat has never had any issues consuming. He also adores the treat sticks, he goes nuts for them.

FYI! If you need to give your cat a pill, dip it in a tiki stick or churu tube. Slides easily down her throat and she loves it

I’ve been eying them too…Nutrition wise, really, they are good? No mystery ingredients? Do you give the entire tube at one go? And it’s a snack type thingy not a meal in of itself, correct? I guess I’m wary cos it— well, it looks like GOO. :headscratch:

When my Freya was so sick and not eating, Tiki Stix were the only thing I could get into her. She LOVED them. I gave them to her more for the moisture content than for nutrition. She was small, and yes I gave her the whole stick at once. But it's definitely a snack - not a meal.

I'm feeding mine Bravo! treats. They're expensive but she loves them and according to the package they have only one ingredient: chicken breast.
