Review: Great for People and Pets! - I originally looked into these flakes to make dashi broth, but quickly realized they make excellent kitty treats as well! Any product that has multiple uses is a win for me and these flakes are great. I underestimated how large the 1lb bag would be, but it will last quite some time and is resealable. The flakes arrived in great shape and there is little to no “dust” or unusable crumbles (there is no such thing as unusable crumbles if you have kitties). My cats are spoiled rotten and only like freeze-dried fish treats which can be expensive in tiny quantities. This is a wonderful and economical alternative. While the only ingredient is skipjack tuna, be mindful of the natural sodium in the flakes especially if feeding to cats. Also, be sure to store the bag in a cat-safe area/alternate container or they will try to chew through the bag like the greedy little furballs they are.
Review: Perfect for Dashi Broth -AND- my cats love it too! - My cats love this as much as I do!! Many cat food purveyors sell the exact same product at HUGE mark ups. Cat tax ;) This is even higher quality and I use it for my Dashi Broths as well.
