When Chewy.com reached out and asked us if we would be interested in sampling the new Orijen freeze-dried cat treats, we couldn’t say “yes” fast enough.
When we were kibble eaters, we ate Orijen kibbles because the head peep likes the company’s philosophy of cats eating biologically-appropriate ingredients sourced from regional ingredients. Now that the head peep insists that we eat canned food instead, we miss that kibble, and we were excited at the idea of trying their treats.
The treats arrived in some sample packaging that probably isn’t the way they will be sold in stores. So we have no idea whether they will be in a durable container that keeps us from helping ourselves or not.
The treats themselves are a nice bite size, and they are long enough that a human can hold one end while we delicately take the treat from between their fingers. Well, okay, sometimes we aren’t quite delicate, but it’s easy to get carried away.
Newton: Hey, are you done talking so I can to open this?
In a minute. Can you please read the ingredients, since you’re in the way?
Newton: I’m illiterate, like all cats.
Hand those over, Newton, and we’ll take a look at the label. The ingredients are: chicken liver, turkey liver, boneless chicken, boneless turkey, boneless flounder. Just meats. That sounds like exactly what you should be eating.
Pierre: Ooh, this looks interesting…
Ashton: Hey, what do you have there, Pierre?
Pierre: *chomp* This is good!
Ashton: No fair! Pierre!
Ashton: Mine!
There wasn’t a way to show you how much we enjoyed the treats without a bit of video to show our real enthusiasm.
(If the video doesn’t load above, you can watch it on YouTube.)
We give very enthusiastic paws up to the new Orijen freeze dried cat treats, and we can’t wait until we can get into the rest of the bag!
Chewy.com sent the sample treats to us for free, but our opinions are our own.
