PureBites Plus Skin & Coat Freeze-Dried Cat 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.
