I've seen these products at high-end pet stores. Don't get ripped off. This is a total waste of money if you live in a town with at least one Asian grocery store.

Go to your Asian grocery, preferably Japanese, and purchase dried bonito flakes, i.e. katsuobushi. Katsuobushi is way cheaper and probably much better quality, as it's meant for human consumption. There should only be one ingredient. Bonito. One of the ingredients we Japanese use to make dashi stock.

A new pet supply store opened in my area a few weeks ago, they gave me a free sample of this stuff, and told me if I bought some I could return any unsed portion if my cats did not like it. They know what they are doing, I went back and told them this is Kitty Crack. My 1.5 year old male has started refusing to eat unless I put some of this in his food. He races me to the kitchen when I go to it for anything, hoping I'll give him some more Kitty Crack. The six month old kittens gobble it up too. The 4 oz bag is less expensive than the 1 oz container, so I'll be ordering from Amazon a lot. I can only hope my male gets tired of it :)

It's certainly true that you can purchase a 1 lb. bag of "human grade" Katsuobushi (shaved, dried bonito flakes) for a little over $26, and the bonito flakes sold as pet treats cost considerably more for considerably less money. But you also need to read the ingredients listed on that bag of Katsuobushi. You'll find ingredients as bonito and salt, whereas Cat-Man-Doo lists only bonito, period.

I have both of these products in my home, and the fact of the matter, is that both brands can be safely tasted by human beings. I invite you to do so, and even blindfolded, and you will instantly know which one is Katsuobushi. Salt is intrinsic to dried fish products and in large proportion. Tasty, for humans, but the fact that you can actually smell the salt in the 1 lb. bag of Katsuobushi, tells me that my cats and dog are getting an overload for their systems.

It may be incorrect to assume that the drying process used to produce Cat-Man-Doo bonito flakes uses absolutely no salt whatsoever. But humans, cats, and dogs are all mammals, and hypertension is damaging to the health of all mammals. Almost all pet foods and snacks have "hidden" salt and sweeteners among their ingredients. The more we mammals can avoid them in our foods, the better off we all are. You only get 15 years with your pets, and Cat-Man-Doo has far less salt than Katsuobushi.

I am thrilled to find that these flakes are offered on Amazon now! I had been getting them from a small pet store that may or may not have had them in stock because they were so popular and flew off the shelves.

I have a small feral rescue cat who needs medicine for 5 days every month. He is a skittish little guy and I hated that I had to chase the poor thing down to give him his daily doses during the treatment course. When we tried these flakes though it was incredible. They literally right all wrongs in his world and he now BEGS for his medicine and takes it happily because he knows he's getting these afterward. (He always did get a treat after medicine, it's just that these were the jackpot.) He and his brother also get a bit every night before bed, and they've been trained to "say please" for them so cute! He is a lovable little guy, and these treats have made adjusting to unfortunate necessities (nail trimmings, etc.) all better.

On the website of the company who makes these flakes, there are a lot of glowing anecdotes too (including one from me). :-) Another pet owner even claimed that she needed to keep her flakes in the fridge because it was the only place in the house that her cat didn't get them out itself and eat through the packaging to get to the fish inside.

My cats have enjoyed other treats over the years, but nothing has come close to these I highly recommend them. We use so many that I get the 4 oz. package, but transfer it to a harder container to prevent excess crumbling (my cats don't like the fish dust at the bottom of the bag, so that's a way to minimize it).

I was very pleased at how fast I received the Cat Man Doo bonito flakes since I am in a remote location. My cat absolutely loves them. I like the fact that they are fish and not a lot of carbs and fillers.
