What better way to celebrate the first nor'easter of the year than trying out the new Blue Water White fish cat treat by Weruva, a company that is named after their three rescue cats, Webster, Rudi and Vanessa. According to the company website, all the formulas for their food and freeze dried treats are produced in a human food facility using many ingredients and processes are used in products made for people.
Weruva must be doing something right because the cat treats, especially the Whitefish are hands down my Tonk's favorite treats. They love putting their paws in the container and pulling out their treats -- the more the merrier! Although the Blue Water Whitefish Treat is a little pricey, www.chewy.com is offering it for 37% off making it affordable and if your cat loves these single protein treats as much as mine do, it is well worth the money!
There is so much I love about this grain and gluten free cat treat including the neat little cube shape of this freeze dried treat that keeps its shape and texture. Another thing I like is that the company takes time to identify the type of fish they use and that they only use sustainable fish that are purchased from regulated fishing vessels. One small concern about fish in a cat's diet is the mercury levels it contains. The good news is that although fish will have some level of mercury, Weruva only uses fish that meets the FDA's list of those lower in mercury. Not to worry, Weruva also makes a paw lickin chicken dried treat that the Tonks love so alternating between the two is the way to go.

This special treat is made of freeze dried whitefish that is specified as a boneless fish filet that has a guaranteed analysis of 76.6% crude protein, 7.0 % crude fat, 0.1% crude fibre and 5.0% moisture. This treat is grain free and can be fed to your cat or dog in one of two ways; as is or crumbled up on wet food as an extra treat. My Tonks enjoy the whole cubed pieces of fish so much that I usually feed them two or three cubes of fish a day...unless they manage to pull out more than that!
I also love the packaging which is a tall thin cardboard container with a plastic lid that seals in the freshness of these treats and keeps them from crumbling; some of the freeze dried treats have a tendency to crumble on their own, these don't. Needless to say, when my Tonks hear the "pop" of the container opening, they come running and begging for these great tasting healthy treats. Sabu actually gets so excited that he snorts while eating the blue water whitefish treats... in their mind, this is the perfect snack for them and they just can't seem to get enough!
