Top 9 Cat Treats in Canada for 2025: Expert-Reviewed Soft, Crunchy & Functional Snacks for Training, Dental Health, and Enrichment

Inaba Churu Lickable Treats are the technical standout for soft-chewy needs, delivering a high-palate, single-serve puree that excels for hydration, medication administration, and enticing reluctant eaters despite a higher per-treat price. Compared with bulk chewable or crunchy offerings, Churu commands a premium but offers clinical advantages—moisture content and pureed form—that justify the cost for cats with appetite or dental issues.

Temptations Classic Crunchy and Soft Cat Treats earn a top spot for combining a satisfying crunchy exterior with a soft center that appeals to picky cats while remaining highly affordable. Compared with the other options on this list, Temptations stands out for broad palatability and strong value-per-treat, making it a go-to everyday crunchy treat for owners who prioritize cost and cat acceptance over premium ingredient claims.

Tiki Cat Stix are positioned as a premium market leader for ingredient quality and single‑serve stick packaging that preserves freshness and delivers a near‑pâté, high‑protein experience with minimal fillers. Although typically priced above squeezable mass brands, Tiki Cat's cleaner sourcing and texture make it a technical leader for nutrition‑conscious buyers and a strong alternative to lower‑cost options like Hartz or Temptations.

Orijen Original freeze-dried treats reflect Champion Petfoods' emphasis on biologically appropriate, regionally sourced ingredients and high whole-animal inclusion, positioning this product as a market leader for nutrition-focused buyers. While it carries a premium price compared with other fish-based treats on the list, Orijen delivers superior protein density and ingredient diversity that justify the cost for owners prioritizing nutrient completeness over per-treat price.

Benny Bully's earns its place by offering liver-centric chops that combine organ-rich nutrition with a texture many cats find irresistible, making them an effective, attention-grabbing reward. Unlike the single-ingredient breast or minnow treats, Benny Bully's focuses on liver which is nutrient-dense and often more affordable per highly palatable serving, giving it a financial edge for owners who want potent flavor in small quantities. Its product style is especially useful for short training sessions or finicky eaters where a strong-flavored, small-format treat is needed.

Greenies Feline Dental Treats are widely regarded as best-in-class because their chewy, toothbrush-shaped bites combine a mechanical scrubbing action with a palatable formula that many cats accept readily; they are often recommended by veterinarians and have strong retail distribution. Compared with the other options, Greenies command a premium price but deliver proven day-to-day plaque reduction and unmatched market availability, making them a go-to choice for owners prioritizing convenience and visible dental benefit.

PureBites is best-in-class for minimalist, high-protein training rewards: single-ingredient freeze-dried chicken yields intense aroma and flavor so very small pieces work for many repetitions with minimal calories. Financially it is a premium-priced option per ounce, but its technical advantage—near-zero fillers and predictable macros—makes weight management during training simpler than with richer crunchy treats.

PureBites Plus Skin & Coat uses freeze-drying to preserve high concentrations of whole-protein and natural omega oils, delivering one of the most technically concentrated, minimally processed treat options for coat health. That potency and minimal-ingredient approach makes it more expensive per treat than Greenies or Temptations, but it provides a near-supplement level of omega benefit for owners seeking an ingredient-first strategy rather than a flavored snack.
