Treats are a great way to reward or bribe your cat, but add extra calories and often are made with not so great stuff (wheat flour is the first ingredient in a lot of treats.)

Get more out of your treats and be able to offer treats more often by cutting them into smaller pieces.

Moist treats like Pounce are easy to break into pieces, and one Pounce treat is large enough to be cut into three pieces. Filled treats like Temptations also break up fairly easily and one piece makes two good treating opportunities. Hard, crunchy treats might be a little harder to break up into reasonable sized chunks.

A pea-sized treat is more than enough for a reward or bribe, and by giving smaller treats you’ll be able to give them to your cat more often.

What an easy way to get more love out of a bag of cat treats.
