What buyers say
With 53 reviews averaging 3.9 stars and 200 bought in the past month, feedback is moderately positive but shows more variability than higher-rated treats in the same category, so it's worth reading a few reviews before committing to a larger order.
Yes, the listing markets this treat for both cats and dogs, since freeze-dried minnows are a fish-based protein suitable for both species.
Why is the rating slightly lower than similar products?
At 3.9 stars across 53 reviews, this treat performs reasonably well but trails some other single-ingredient options in this roundup, so it's a good idea to check recent reviews for specifics like texture or freshness feedback.
Is this treat suitable for a dog with allergies?
It's a single ingredient fish treat, which can work well for dogs with poultry or beef sensitivities, but it should be avoided if your dog has a known fish allergy.
