Online, it is easy to find sweets, fruit sweets, crisps and cat treats in all kinds of flavours and pack sizes. However, eye-catching packaging tells you little about what you are actually buying. If you order without checking the details, you could end up with a bag that quickly loses its flavour, a product containing unexpected allergens, or cat treats that are unsuitable for your cat’s age and eating habits.
These pointers will help you buy sweets and cat treats online based on verifiable information rather than marketing claims alone.
A large bag may look appealing, but first check the price per 100 grams and how long the product will keep once opened. With sweet sticks and gummies, the texture can change if the packaging is not sealed properly. With a snack gift box, you may also be paying for variety that you do not actually enjoy in full.
Fruit sweets and gummies often contain sugar, glucose syrup and food acids. For example, according to the product information, Look-O-Look Dynamite Sticks Forest Fruits contain 69 grams of sugar per 100 grams. Look-O-Look Filled Cherry Sticks contain 56 grams of sugar per 100 grams and list, among other ingredients, wheat, gelatine and colouring.
That is why you should always read the ingredients list and allergen declaration. With international products, such as Turkish sweets or Asian snacks, the ingredients may differ from what you are used to.
Liquid treats, cat treats with chicken and cat treats with fish are generally complementary pet food. They are not a replacement for complete main food. Check the recommended amount and take the calories from your cat’s daily meal into account. Always supervise your cat when giving treats if there is a risk of choking.
For people, sugars, fats, salt and allergens are particularly important points of comparison. According to the product information, Chio Heartbreak Sharing Size contains 2 grams of salt per 100 grams. Wo Long Cat Ears contains wheat and sesame and provides 573 kcal per 100 grams. This makes the ingredients list more important than the flavour name alone.
With international products, also check:
Choose cat treats for adult cats when the product is intended for them. According to the product description, Catisfactions Salmon Flavor is suitable for adult cats and kittens from 8 weeks old. Vitakraft Liquid Snack Chicken is intended for cats from 3 months old.
Also consider the intended use:
Store dry sweets and crisps in a cool, dry place and keep them tightly sealed. Liquid cat treats generally need to be refrigerated after opening and used quickly. For example, INABA CHURU CAT Chicken states that an opened product should be consumed within 24 hours. Always follow the packaging if the information on the product page differs from that on the packaging.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
First compare the ingredients, allergens, quantity, price per 100 grams and shelf life. For cat treats, also check the animal species, age, daily amount and whether the product is complementary food.
Dry sweets and crisps stay in the best condition when you seal the packaging properly and store them in a cool, dry place. Liquid cat treats often need to be refrigerated and used within 24 hours. The packaging provides the exact storage period.
No. A liquid treat may contain a high level of moisture according to the product information, but it does not replace drinking water or complete cat food. Always provide fresh water and adjust the amount of treats to fit your cat’s total daily food intake.
