Smittens White Fish Cat Treats

Verified Aug 18, 2026

Cat · Treat Adult Senior All Breed Sizes

These are dehydrated white fish treats for adult and senior cats, made primarily from wild-caught cod with a bit of sea salt. They’re very high in protein and extremely low in fat, making them a lean, fish-based reward. Because they’re treats and not a complete diet, they’re best used as an occasional snack alongside a balanced cat food.

9.3 out of 10

Top Pick

This is a high-protein, simple-ingredient fish treat that can work well for most adult and senior cats as a light, crunchy reward. The limited ingredient profile and lean white fish make it a good option for cats who do well with fish-based snacks or need lower-fat treats. It should be fed in moderation and not used as a primary food, but as a topper or occasional treat it’s nutritionally very reasonable.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Single main animal ingredient (dehydrated white fish) provides highly digestible animal protein with minimal extras.
  • Very low in fat and calories (about 2 calories per treat), which is helpful for cats who need their weight managed but still enjoy treats.
  • Limited ingredient list may suit some cats with more complex food sensitivities, as long as they tolerate fish.
  • Dehydrated whole-fish format preserves protein while giving a crunchy texture many cats enjoy.

Considerations

  • Contains fish, which is a common allergen in cats, so it’s not appropriate for cats with known fish allergies or sensitivities.
  • Includes added sea salt; while the total amount per treat is likely small, cats with specific sodium-sensitive conditions may need stricter control and should only have these treats under veterinary guidance.
  • This is a treat intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it must be paired with a complete and balanced cat food to meet all nutrient needs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Whitefish
Whitefish (such as pollock, cod, or haddock) is commonly used in pet foods as a lean animal protein source that provides high‑quality essential amino acids, good digestibility, and some omega‑3 fatty acids to support skin, coat and muscle maintenance. While generally palatable and useful for weight‑managed formulas, pet parents should be aware of potential fish allergies and the importance of responsible sourcing and processing to minimize contaminants; cats also require adequate dietary taurine, so whitefish should be part of a complete, balanced diet.
02
Sea Salt
Sea salt is used primarily as a source of sodium and chloride and as a flavor enhancer in pet foods; it may also contribute negligible amounts of trace minerals. Sodium is essential for fluid balance and nerve and muscle function in dogs and cats, but excessive salt can cause dehydration or salt toxicity and worsen heart or kidney disease, so complete diets are formulated to meet AAFCO/NRC sodium requirements and owners should avoid adding salty human foods or treats.
