The Chicken, Seafood and Tuna flavors are specialty crafted with high-quality, whole ingredients including healthy fiber, probiotics, vitamins and antioxidants, and with no grains or fillers.
  • Irresist-A-Bowls™ – An ambient, pantry-fresh skillet dog meal made with simple, premium ingredients you can see. Crafted in two lip-smacking varieties, Chicken + Beef Recipe and Chicken + Duck, that can be served as your dog’s main course or as a tasty topper.

“We set out to create nutritious, delicious and sustainable products that our pet obsessed people will love, and their best friends will love even more!” said Michael Meyer, CEO of “I and love and you.” “Our newest cat launch embodies our brand’s mission to provide pet-obsessed parents with a cat treat they will feel confident giving their furry friend, knowing it will support a healthier, happier life full of flavor, love and function.”

Treat Meow “Squeeze & Thank You”

Lickable cat treats are one of the fastest growing pet treat formats (+98% annual growth) in the market. This ultra-premium Treat Meow™ “Squeeze & Thank You” offering is the first function-forward, lickable treat that puts cats’ nutrition first – just how it should be.

Available in three purr-worthy recipes, Immune Support with sustainably sourced seafood, Digestion Support with savory cage-free chicken, and Skin & Coat Support with wild-caught tuna, these treats are crafted with prebiotics, pumpkin, zinc, and added vitamins and minerals including Omega 3 and Omegas 6 oils to improve pets’ systems and functions. And they contain no grains or fillers, and nothing artificial for a truly clean treating experience. The product is available in single-flavor packs of four single-serve sticks, and a Variety Pack format including 12 single-serve sticks with four of each flavor. All packaging is 100% recyclable through Terra-Cycle.

The Treat Meow™ “Squeeze & Thank You” line is being introduced right now exclusively at Walmart and will be coming to grocery stores and online retailers nationwide later in the year.

With real meat always at the top of the ingredient list, these recipes contain farm-raised, grass-fed beef and cage-free chicken, alongside a healthy dose of prebiotics to support healthy digestion. Irresist-A-Bowls™ are carefully crafted in small-batch recipes, as if they came straight from the skillet, for hearty and wholesome nutrition pet owners can feel good about. Available in two lip-smacking varieties, Chicken + Beef Recipe and Chicken + Duck Recipe, these shelf-stable recipes can serve as your furry pal’s main course, or as a tasty topper.
