Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The ingredient list impresses me and made me want to get my cats to eat these treats. However, my cats don't think of this as a treat nor eat them in isolation. So I mixed it with their canned food. Pretty sneaky way to give them kelp and other wonderful food, some of it rich in omega 3. I highly recommend as a supplement, not as a treat if my cats are representative.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I think I was more excited about the veggie nature of these than were the cats of the household. For those overly concerned about the garlic, I don't see the small amount as negative and possibly more of a perk; granted, the garlic debate is a fiery and divided one. I was hoping for a healthy veggie-based treat to add to the kitties' meaty diet and have had success with this brand before in the past. However, this proved to be an "acquired" taste that has yet to be a big hit. One kitty ate two treats and didn't seem excited about anymore. One sniffed at the treats and ignored them, though tried them another day. And these are kitties that aren't too picky about treats, despite having favorites. I don't know. I like the idea of these treats, but while my cats aren't opposed, they aren't a big hit.Best Deals for Pet Naturals of Vermont Garden Bite Treat for Cats
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Knowing that cats need a lot of protein (way more protein than dogs do), I was surprised to see that this treat only contains 17% protein in each treat. While a cat being fed a quality food would never have to depend on the amount of protein in a treat, I would still rather choose the treat with the most protein."Temptations" by Whiskas has 30% protein in one small treat and not only is it about the same size as this Garden Bite, but it is a lot less expensive. Plus it supposedly helps control tartar.
While all three of our cats will eat this treat willingly, I'm going to go back to Temptations when this bag is empty. Especially since the packaging on these Garden Bite treats warns "Keep out of reach of children and animals". Really?!? Really.
Honest reviews on Pet Naturals of Vermont Garden Bite Treat for Cats
Please don't purchase these treats until they have removed the garlic from them. Garlic is poisonous to cats, and can cause death. The description states there is garlic in these, but this company hasn't listed that in their ingredients. This GREATLY concerns me, as people are buying this without knowing that there is garlic in it, and what effects garlic has on cats. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/garlic/I have written the company an email, asking them to respond to me about why garlic is listed in the description, but missing from the ingredients, they won't respond to me. I have talked with a couple people, one of which said the garlic was listed, and another said it wasn't, on their package of treats, in the ingredients. I found a website online where you can report a concern about pet food to the FDA, so I have submitted one, in hopes they will look into this.
Garlic causes anemia in cats. Here is an article that provides specific information in regards to this. http://drpollen.blogspot.com/2009/10/is-garlic-safe-for-cats-and-dogs.html
Please, don't feed your cats this treat until they have removed all garlic from it. I can't believe they are being allowed to sell this, with garlic as an ingredient.

Pet Naturals contacted me via email today, stating that they don't have garlic in the treats, and that it is a misprint in their description. They sent me a PDF of the list of ingredients that show it isn't in there. I, however, am still leery due to the fact that their advertising states it is in there. They said they would correct the error, and ensured me that they are very selective in their ingredients, and would never put anything in there that would harm an animal.
