Hartz Delectables Stew Lickable Wet Cat Treats for Adult & Senior Cats, Variety Pack, 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Picky eater no problem
My cat at my equestrian center was adopted just over year ago. She is beyond picky with her food and treats. I’ve tried giving her cheap treats and food all the way to super expensive gourmet varieties. Almost all of those were complete waste as there’s very few things she’ll actually eat thus just flushed money down drain as she either wouldn’t touch or only ate what she wanted of it liquid, meat, etc. I have to give her a pretty specific diet so that she’s not wasteful.I’ve gotten a variety across the board of Hartz delectables including one flavor in each of the varieties (gravy, broth, stew, etc). She’s had zero issues with any of them and she begs for them as much as she can in day. She gets 1 to 2 of them in evening as they’re her reward for coming into barn for lockdown all on her own.She absolutely loves them and will pick them over the treats she likes every time. She has her dry food set up right by where she’s given these in separate bowl. She’ll eat all of this and then eat her dry food.What I found in the other canned/wet foods I attempted to give her is that she liked the “juice” over the actual meat in most. She does same thing with these by licking all liquids first then grabbing the shreds and little pieces of meat.These are the perfect size for a treat feeding or added happy food. There’s not a ton in each bag and there’s not some minuscule amount either. There’s no need for a can lid or refrigerator as they’re basically single serve baggies.Something to scrape out the contents of bag is necessary as some the meat will stay in bottom or get stuck to sides while dumping into bowl. I use a plastic knife to do this but the $1 icing applicator/scraper at dollar tree that’s a miniature silicone deign also would work great. I’ve tried rolling bag up to empty all out without scraping but it doesn’t work.Just wish better cost per unit so could give her how many she would like to have in day (1 to 2 in am and 1 to 2 in pm). But I’ve yet to find them.The box they come in doesn’t hold up too well. I apply duct tape to the bottom to give it some firmness and make it where just doesn’t fall apart. Rather than keeping in original boxes separated by flavor (way they come unless variety pack), I empty the boxes, strengthen with tape, put each flavor into a stack, and then set up the daily giving order so different flavor each time given. Once all gathered for a box they’re placed into one of their original boxes with tape.It’s also great to know that if and when another cat comes into my life that both kitten and senior versions available.

It’s All my cats want
I originally purchased these stews for my senior cat that was in need of softer food. She was beginning to get picky and didn’t want her usual. She took to these stews immediately and now all my cats love them. They don’t want any other food. They are pricey but in line with other sellers

My old-man cat loves these. (Packaging is meh.)
These treats thought the day help my geriatric Bengal eat more food without overwhelming his system. The vet says for geriatric kitty nutrition it’s less important what he eats as he ages past 16–and more important THAT he keeps eating to get those nutrients. So we feed him a combo of high-end meals and cheap treats like this. You do need a utensil to scrape the food out of the pouch, so it’s functional but not perfect use. Doesn’t smell bad. Easy enough. I trust it as part of a broader balanced diet for my cat’s health.

These cost less than at my store!
Although I often say I have the best cat in the world she is very finicky with any type of food or treats. Even wet food at times is unwelcome. So I worried about this “Hartz Delectables Stew Lickable Wet Cat Treats” might not be accepted/eaten by her. But I was wrong to worry; This is her very favorite treat and I give it to her once a day. She licks the bowl dry every day. She even knows the time of day I give it to her and she gets extremely excited when it is almost time. I often secretly add a bit of water to it because I worry about her hydration and it is thick and appears meaty. I am so glad the price is lower than my local store and it comes next day delivery if you order enough.

My two cats love eating Delectable treats all day long.They prefer seafood but with Delectables will eatevery flavour. Makes them happy!

Our cats are generally a bit picky & all 3 really LOVE this food. Like ‘wheedling to get it faster, bowls licked clean in record-time’ love it. It’s definitely as-advertised shreds of actual meat/fish in gravy, and a much better value in these larger multi-packs.
