Freeze-Dried Shrimp Treats for Dogs & Cats: Single Ingredient

Freeze-dried shrimp for cats and dogs, with an ingredient list one word long: shrimp. We freeze-dry whole raw shrimp in small batches in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with no seasoning and nothing else in the bag.

Each piece is a whole shrimp, small and light, with no shells to remove. It gets 4 of 5 for crunch on our scorecard. More people come looking for shrimp as a cat treat than as a dog treat, so we will say it up front: the piece is sized for both.

One bag for the cat and the dog

Cats. Hand over a shrimp as a treat, or crumble one over dinner as a meal topper.

Dogs. We list shrimp for adult dogs of all sizes. For training, break each shrimp into bite-sized rewards. It scores 3 of 5 for training value with us, the middle of the scale.

The 1.5 ounce bag

Shrimp comes in one size, a 1.5 ounce bag, so the bag you try is the bag you reorder. To use it as a topper, sprinkle crumbled shrimp over kibble or a raw meal.

Sniff and Shift makes this shrimp and ships it from Malvern, Pennsylvania. If it turns into a habit, put the bag on a recurring order. Everything else we freeze-dry is on one page here.

Questions

Can cats eat freeze-dried shrimp?

We make this shrimp for cats as much as for dogs. The only ingredient is whole raw shrimp, and the label says to feed it as a treat or meal topper, not as a complete diet.

Are freeze-dried shrimp cat treats different from the dog ones?

No. It is one product and one bag. The same whole shrimp goes to either animal.

Do I have to peel them?

No. There are no shells to remove. Take a shrimp out of the bag and feed it whole or crumble it.

How do I use freeze-dried shrimp for dogs in training?

Break one shrimp into bite-sized pieces and hand them out one at a time.
