KITTY YUMS CREAMY REAL CHICKEN TREATS (XS)

Kitty Yums Creamy Lickable Treats, crafted by Drools Pet Food Private Limited under their beloved Kitty Yums sub-brand, are single-serve, grain-free, lickable cat treats formulated to address one of the most common challenges faced by modern cat parents: keeping their feline companion engaged, hydrated, and nutritionally enriched between meals. Cats are notoriously selective eaters with naturally low thirst drives, and their snacking experience often determines the quality of their bond with their human family. These creamy treats combine real chicken meat, chicken liver, hydrolyzed chicken liver, and salmon and skipjack powder into a smooth, palatable, high-moisture format that cats of all breeds and life stages find irresistible. Beyond sheer indulgence, each tube actively supports hydration, delivers essential taurine for heart and eye health, supplies DHA for brain and visual development, and reinforces immunity through antioxidant-rich green tea extract. Whether used as a training reward, a bonding ritual, a medication delivery aid, or simply as a loving daily indulgence for your feline friend, these treats offer a thoughtful blend of taste and targeted nutrition. Animeal is proud to offer Kitty Yums Creamy Lickable Treats as part of our curated premium treat range for your beloved feline companion

Chicken Meat: Whole chicken meat serves as the primary protein source, delivering a complete and highly bioavailable amino acid profile including lysine, arginine, and the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are critical for lean muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and metabolic function in cats. As an obligate carnivore species, your feline companion requires animal-sourced protein as the biological cornerstone of every meal and snack, and chicken meat provides this in a palatably rich, naturally flavoursome form.

Chicken Liver and Hydrolyzed Chicken Liver: Whole chicken liver is a nutrient-dense organ meat naturally concentrated in haem iron, Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin B12, and coenzyme A precursors that support energy metabolism and red blood cell production. The hydrolyzed form undergoes enzymatic processing to break protein chains into shorter peptide fragments and free amino acids, dramatically increasing their digestibility and bioavailability compared to whole protein. Hydrolyzed chicken liver also acts as a powerful natural palatability enhancer, stimulating the appetite of even the most selective feline eaters through its rich umami flavour compounds.

Salmon and Skipjack Powder: This concentrated marine protein and lipid blend provides long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which modulate inflammatory pathways, reinforce the skin's lipid barrier for coat health, and support neurological function. The skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) component adds a bold, deeply savoury flavour profile that appeals to the feline palate's preference for marine-derived foods, making it one of the most effective palatability agents in this formula.

Chicken Oil: A natural lipid source that provides arachidonic acid (AA), an omega-6 fatty acid that cats cannot synthesise endogenously and must obtain from their diet. Arachidonic acid is essential for maintaining skin integrity, supporting reproductive health, and modulating immune signalling. Chicken oil also enhances the creamy mouthfeel and rich flavour of the treat, reinforcing acceptance across all breeds.

Taurine: An essential sulfonated amino acid that cats cannot manufacture in adequate quantities and must consume through their diet daily. Taurine performs critical physiological functions at every level: it conjugates bile acids into taurocholic acid to facilitate dietary fat digestion, protects retinal photoreceptor cells from oxidative damage and light-induced degeneration, maintains normal cardiac contractile force and rhythm, and supports reproductive competence in queens. Taurine deficiency is a primary driver of dilated cardiomyopathy and progressive retinal atrophy in cats, making its supplementation in every treat serving a meaningful contribution to your feline companion's long-term wellness.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): A long-chain omega-3 fatty acid and the dominant structural lipid in neural tissue and photoreceptor membranes. DHA is incorporated into neuronal phospholipid bilayers where it regulates membrane fluidity, synaptic signal transmission, and the speed and efficiency of neural communication. In the retina, DHA is the primary fatty acid in photoreceptor outer segment membranes, essential for the phototransduction process that converts light into visual signals. Its inclusion actively supports brain function, learning capacity, and visual acuity in cats across all life stages.

Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis): A polyphenol-rich botanical source of catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which function as potent antioxidants by neutralising reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reducing oxidative stress at the cellular level. Green tea catechins also exert prebiotic effects in the gut, modulating intestinal microbiome composition, and have demonstrated mild antimicrobial properties. Their inclusion reinforces the treat's broader immune-supportive profile and contributes to cellular defence against environmental oxidative challenge.

DL-Methionine: An essential sulphur-containing amino acid that plays a central role in urinary tract health in cats. DL-Methionine acts as a urinary acidifier, reducing urine pH to a range that inhibits the formation of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) crystals, a common source of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). It also serves as a precursor to taurine and cysteine biosynthesis pathways and is involved in methylation reactions critical to cellular repair and gene expression regulation.

Modified Starch and Gelling Agent: These functional ingredients provide the characteristic smooth, creamy, tube-able consistency that defines the lickable treat format. Modified starch acts as a stabiliser and binder that maintains homogenous texture without the use of artificial preservatives, while the gelling agent reinforces the smooth, cohesive mouthfeel that makes these treats accessible to cats of all ages, including seniors and those with dental sensitivities.

Vitamins and Minerals (Comprehensive Blend): A complete supplementary vitamin-mineral complex that addresses the micronutrient needs of cats across all life stages. This includes key vitamins for immune function, skin integrity, energy metabolism, and neurological health, as well as trace minerals to support enzymatic processes, bone density, and haematopoiesis.
