Single-Ingredient Freeze-Dried Treats for Cats
What’s in matters just as much as what’s left out.
These single-ingredient snacks are made from USDA-inspected meats—think hearts and livers and wild-caught fish. These are diced and freeze-dried raw to lock in nutrients. No fillers. No by-products. Just real food, simply done.

About the Project
Every pet deserves real food– whole, high-quality food that we believe helps all pets thrive.
What goes into recipes is every bit as important as what’s left out so, using nothing but whole foods, Dr. Bessent formulated limited-ingredient recipes. Then, using some rather cutting-edge spaceman technology, she freeze-dried them so that every benefit of raw, whole food was available for your pet.
It’s real, whole food nutrition without compromising convenience, and that really makes the decision around how and what to feed your dog simple.
