Chewy sent me a package of eight Friskies Lil' Soups with Tuna in a Velvety Chicken Broth Lickable Cat Treats which I call cream of tuna soup. We'd seen coupons in the paper for these but have never seen them in the store. I was anxious to try them cos that's a brand I've never eaten before. TW liked the pretty packaging. She's shallow like that.
OK, so there's no real milk or cream in the ingredients to this milky white treat cos milk is no good for cats unless it's the lactose-free kind that my peeps just happen to drink. It does contain chicken broth, chicken, tuna, tapioca starch, powdered cellulose, xanthan gum, guar gum, thiamine mononitrate (Vitamin B-1).
I love debunking stuff so let's go through the list of key benefits on Chewy's website and see what we can find.
- Made with real tuna and real, wholesome ingredients you want to give your feline friend. Having read the list, I'm not sure if the ingredients other than tuna, chicken and chicken broth are wholesome but let's continue.
- Velvety broth adds delicious flavor to every bite and entices even picky eaters. OK, that's a go. I'm a very picky eater and I ate every bit of it. Too bad TW didn't think to take a pic of the empty cups.
- Packaged in a convenient cup for effortless serving, so you can spend less time scooping and more quality time with your kitty. True. In fact TW served it in that convenient cup so no extra dishes unless your town lets you recycle the cups. Then into the dish water it goes. TW usually has trouble opening these types of cups without making a mess but these came off easily.
- Intended as a complement to your adult cat's complete and balanced diet or a delicious treat after mealtime. Whoa! Yes. I eat them as a midnight snack cos TW likes me to have something with liquid before bed so my throat doesn't dry out. My asthma can attack me if my throat and windpipe get too dry especially during the winter months. Plus the 1.2-cups are a perfect size for a bedtime snack. I go to bed satiated without feeling bloated.
- This enticing snack is the purrfect way to get the attention of your adult cat. Bingo! It certainly got my attention to the point that I didn't care that TW was using the flashy box almost the entire time I ate. The food got my attention rather than TW and she got some pretty good photos.
Three outta four is almost purrfect. Not much to debunk, even for me. Furthermore, it's grain-free with no carrageenan or synthetic vitamin K. There's also no fillers or meat by-products or artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
I hope we can get our paws on some of the other recipes which include shrimp, sockeye salmon and chicken with butternut squash (fish-free) all in velvety chicken broth. They also have a variety pack of the fishy recipes.
This is one cuppa soup this little ghetto kitteh won't turn down. These lil' cups are big with yum!
Okay, I'm sold! These sound DEElishus! I LOVE milk but I can't has any because runny poop all over. Phhhffft! If this seems milky to you, I am totally gonna give it a try. Most excellent review!
