Buying snacks and cat food online may seem straightforward, but attractive packaging does not always tell the whole story. If you are looking for Asian snacks for yourself as well as suitable food for your cat, pay particular attention to the contents, portion size, allergens and intended use. This will help you avoid paying too much for a small pack or buying a cat treat that is not actually a complete meal.
A multipack may seem convenient, but always compare the price per 100 grams or per portion. A 2 kg bag of cat food may be cost-effective for daily use, while individual cat treats are more practical if you want to try a flavour first. The same applies to human snacks: forty small bags may be convenient for sharing, but check the total contents as well.
The flavour name on the front may be broader than the actual composition. Check the ingredients list and the percentage of the named ingredient. For example, Felix Crispies Salmon & Trout lists 0.4% salmon meal and 0.4% trout meal. This makes it a fish-flavoured snack, but it is not the same as a snack made mainly from fish.
For dog and cat treats, you should also check which animal the product is intended for. A cat treat is not automatically suitable for dogs, and vice versa.
Complementary pet food is intended as a treat, reward, topping or extra. It does not replace a daily meal. INABA Fun Bites and Vitakraft Liquid Snack are examples of complementary products. The product information describes Gourmet Gold Tender Treats and g’woon Adult Cat Bites as complete wet food and complete dry food for adult cats respectively.
Pay attention to the life stage too. A product for adult cats is not necessarily suitable for kittens. Always follow the feeding guidelines on the packaging and adjust the main meal if you regularly give your cat treats.
When buying crisps and sweets, Asian snacks and snack mixes, look at:
MiMi Snacks Prawn Flavoured consists of 40 bags of 20 grams, making 800 grams in total. The ingredients include wheat flour and prawn powder. The label lists wheat and crustaceans as allergens. The snack is ready to eat and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
The composition is also important for seafood snacks. According to the product information, BENTO Mixed Seafood Snack Hot & Spicy contains 40% squid and surimi fish mince. I.SHOKUHIN Spicy Squid Flavor Strips contains squid, wheat and soya. If you have an allergy or intolerance, these details are more important than the product image.
For cats, three product groups can be distinguished in practical terms:
Dry cat food
Convenient for dividing into daily portions and easy to store. Check whether the product is complete, which age group it is intended for and how much you should give per day.
Wet cat food
Usually has a high moisture content and is often supplied in portions. Once opened, a tin should be covered and refrigerated. For example, Gourmet Gold Tender Treats with Chicken states that it contains 80% moisture and recommends using unused food within 48 hours.
Cat treats and cat snacks
These are used as rewards or between-meal treats. INABA Fun Bites Chicken Wraps Tuna states that it contains 93% moisture and, according to the product information, can be given on its own or mixed with regular food. The recommended amount depends on the cat’s weight.
A high moisture content is a product specification, not a medical benefit. If your cat has specific dietary needs, allergies or health problems, consult a vet before changing its diet.
Marketing terms such as “natural”, “light”, “premium” or “hydration” provide little information without context. Instead, look at verifiable details:
According to Purina’s own research, DentaLife is said to help reduce tartar. Treat this as a brand claim rather than a guaranteed result for every cat. The product information also states a maximum number of treats per day and recommends supervision while feeding.
Why it suits this profile: Forty 20-gram portions are easy to divide, take with you or share. The familiar prawn flavour is ideal for lovers of savoury Asian snacks.
The total weight and number of bags are clearly stated. However, check for allergens, including wheat and crustaceans, before buying.
800 grams total weight, 40 individual packs and ready to eat.
Why it suits this profile: This complementary cat treat combines chicken broth with chicken, tuna, scallop and salmon. With 93% moisture, it is a soft option to serve alongside the main meal.
The product information clearly states that this is complementary food. Do not give it as a complete replacement for cat food.
146 grams, four named flavour components and a specified moisture content of 93%.
Why it suits this profile: A 2 kg bag is aimed at households that use dry cat food every day and prefer to reorder less often.
The packaging states that this is complete dry food for adult cats. Still, check the daily portion and seal the bag properly after use.
2 kg contents, fish variety and intended as complete dry food for adult cats.
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.
It depends on the price per 100 grams, the shelf life and how much you actually use. A large pack is not good value if some of it goes stale or is not enjoyed. Compare the unit price and consider choosing a small pack for your first purchase.
Always follow the instructions on the label. Gourmet Gold recommends storing opened food covered in the fridge and using it within two days. Dry food stays usable for longer when you seal the bag properly after each use and store the product in a cool, dry place.
You can, provided you stay within the recommended feeding guidelines, but treats are usually complementary. Do not exceed the maximum amount stated on the packaging and reduce the main meal if necessary. If you are unsure about allergies, weight or special dietary requirements, it is best to seek advice from a vet.
