A healthy treat for your cats

Raw Boost Mini Treats - healthy and low in calories for your feline family

The spring bunny has left something special for my gang of five cats... Instinct Raw Boost Mini Treats by Nature's Variety, the leading pet food brand for natural raw pet food that my little carnivores crave! Located in the Midwest, Nature's Variety is a small thoughtful pet food company that provides holistic nutrition for our pets. I like that idea and decided to see if my cats liked that product idea as well, thanks to www.chewy.com.

The mini boost are the perfect size for my himalayan kittens -- they love the taste of these healthy cat treats that are pure raw 100% freeze dried tasty chicken. Freeze drying the treats assures that freshness is locked in. Best of all these treats don't contain any wheat, corn, soy, grain, gluten, by product meals, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The list of ingredients is impressive and includes: chicken including ground chicken bone, turkey, liver, turkey heart --all of what you would expect in a cat treat.

The unexpected ingredients that help round out your cat's diet are: pumpkin seeds, carrots, apples, butternut squash, ground flaxseed, montmorillonite clay, dried kelp, broccoli, apple cider, mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, blueberries and dried chicory root. Reading these ingredients sounds like someone raided the health food store for cats! Never to be left out, Mocha, the fearless Tonkinese, had to get in on the action...and he devoured these treats!

Two ingredients caught my eye; montmorillonite which is a natural clay that Nature's Variety sources from deposits in southern Utah and is used for anti-caking and tocopherols that are a mixture of vitamin E isomers and when mixed with rosemary and citric acid it is a natural preservative with the additional benefit of dietary vitamin E. Beside all the natural health benefits, the Raw Instinct Mini Boosts are just two calories each.
