Nutritional Benefits

Beef liver is one of the most nutrient-dense foods available for cats, providing exceptional nutritional value in every bite. As obligate carnivores, cats thrive on organ meats like liver, which deliver concentrated amounts of essential nutrients in their most bioavailable forms.

Vitamin A: Beef liver is extraordinarily rich in preformed vitamin A (retinol), which cats cannot produce from plant sources. This essential nutrient supports sharp vision, healthy skin and coat, immune system function, and reproductive health.

B-Complex Vitamins: Liver contains the full spectrum of B vitamins, with exceptionally high levels of B12 (cobalamin), which supports energy production, nervous system health, and red blood cell formation. Also provides folate, riboflavin, and niacin for metabolic function.

Iron: Highly bioavailable heme iron supports oxygen transport throughout the body and prevents iron-deficiency anemia, particularly important for growing kittens and active cats.

Protein & Amino Acids: Complete protein profile with all essential amino acids cats require, including taurine for heart and eye health.

Minerals: Rich in copper, zinc, selenium, and phosphorus for enzyme function, immune support, and bone health.

The Catnip Advantage

The addition of organic catnip transforms these treats into an exciting experience for your cat. Catnip (Nepeta cataria) contains nepetalactone, a natural compound that triggers a euphoric response in approximately 70-80% of cats. This creates positive associations with treat time, making these bites perfect for training, medication administration, or simply bringing joy to your cat's day. The catnip effect is completely safe, non-addictive, and wears off naturally after 10-15 minutes.

Feeding Guidelines

These treats are intended as a supplement to your cat's complete and balanced diet. Treats should not exceed 10% of daily caloric intake. Always supervise your cat while enjoying treats and ensure fresh water is available.

Recommended Daily Serving:

• Kittens (over 12 weeks): 1-2 bites per day
• Adult Cats (1-7 years): 3-5 bites per day
• Senior Cats (7+ years): 2-4 bites per day

Treats can be broken into smaller pieces for training purposes or for cats who prefer smaller portions. Adjust your cat's regular meal portions to account for treat calories and maintain optimal body condition.

Ideal Use Cases

• High-value training rewards for clicker training and behavior modification
• Enticing picky eaters to engage with food
• Bonding and interactive play sessions
• Medication administration aid (hide pills in rehydrated treats)
• Nutritional supplementation for cats needing extra vitamins
• Cats with grain or gluten sensitivities
• Kittens transitioning to solid foods (broken into small pieces)
• Senior cats requiring nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest treats
• Cats recovering from illness needing appetite stimulation
• Raw or freeze-dried diet supplementation
• Special occasion treats and celebrations
• Travel treats to reduce stress and maintain routine

Why Choose Dr. Becker's Cat Snack?

Dr. Karen Becker, a proactive and integrative wellness veterinarian with decades of experience in feline health, formulated these treats specifically for cats' unique nutritional needs. Unlike generic treats that may contain questionable ingredients or excessive fillers, Dr. Becker's Cat Snack features only human-grade beef liver and organic catnip - ingredients you can trust.

The freeze-drying process is crucial to maintaining liver's exceptional nutritional profile. Traditional cooking methods destroy heat-sensitive vitamins and enzymes, but freeze-drying preserves these delicate nutrients in their most potent form. This means your cat receives the full spectrum of liver's health benefits in every bite, just as nature intended.

Understanding Freeze-Dried Quality

Freeze-drying is a superior preservation method that removes moisture through sublimation (converting ice directly to vapor) at very low temperatures. This gentle process maintains the cellular structure of the beef liver, preserving nutrients, enzymes, and flavor compounds that would be destroyed by heat-based cooking methods. The result is a treat that's nutritionally equivalent to raw liver but with the convenience and safety of a shelf-stable product.

Storage & Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. After opening, reseal package tightly or transfer to an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunchiness. Freeze-dried treats have an extended shelf life and do not require refrigeration. Properly stored treats remain fresh for several months. Keep away from humidity to preserve texture and prevent spoilage.

Rehydration Option

For kittens, senior cats with dental issues, or cats who prefer softer textures, these treats can be easily rehydrated. Add a small amount of warm water or low-sodium broth and let sit for 2-3 minutes until softened. This creates an aromatic, savory treat that's easier to chew while maintaining full nutritional value. Rehydrated treats are also excellent for hiding medications or enticing cats with reduced appetites.

Cat Size & Breed Compatibility

Suitable for all cat breeds and sizes, from petite Singapuras to large Maine Coons. The bite-sized format makes portion control easy, and treats can be broken into smaller pieces for kittens or training purposes. Safe for adult cats and seniors; consult your veterinarian before feeding to kittens under 12 weeks, pregnant, or nursing cats.

Introducing New Treats

When introducing any new treat, start with a small amount to ensure your cat tolerates it well. Offer one or two bites initially and observe for any digestive changes over 24 hours. Most cats adapt quickly to freeze-dried liver treats, but gradual introduction is always recommended. Some cats may be particularly excited by the catnip component - this is normal and safe.

Quality Assurance & Safety

Dr. Becker's Bites maintains rigorous quality standards throughout the production process. All beef liver is sourced from USDA-inspected facilities and meets human-grade standards. The organic catnip is carefully selected for purity and potency. Each batch undergoes strict quality control testing to ensure safety, nutritional integrity, and consistency. The freeze-drying facility follows comprehensive food safety protocols to deliver treats you can trust.

Catnip Sensitivity Note

Approximately 70-80% of cats respond to catnip, with sensitivity being hereditary. Kittens under 3-6 months typically don't respond to catnip yet. If your cat is among the 20-30% who don't react to catnip, they'll still love these treats for the delicious beef liver flavor and exceptional nutrition.
