My cat approved lol
"My cats absolutely loved these! As soon as they heard the package open, they came running. The puree texture was easy for them to eat, and they happily licked up every bit. I like that these treats contain added vitamins and postbiotics, making them feel like more than just a snack. They're also convenient to serve straight from the stick, which makes treat time quick and mess-free. Even my pickier cat enjoyed them, which is always a win in my house. The individual packets are great for portion control and keeping the product fresh. Overall, these were a big hit with my cats, and I'd definitely consider purchasing them again as a tasty daily treat."

My cat loves these!!
"I used to give my cat probiotics, vitamin supplement, and treat separately. When I saw that this had everything combined into one stick, I figured it was worth trying. My cat loves the taste, and I love having one less thing to keep track of."

Cat like it, could contain more per tube though
"My cats are very familiar with the leading puree-style tube treats, so I was curious how these would compare. The good news is they liked the seafood mix flavor right away and had no hesitation eating it, which is always the most important part with cat treats. One noticeable difference is the packaging. The plastic tubes on these are much thicker and stiffer than the more established brands. Because of that, it feels like you are holding more packaging relative to the amount of food inside. I also had to fold and press the tubes multiple times to fully get the product out, whereas thinner treat tubes are usually easier to squeeze cleanly. Texture-wise, the treat itself seemed appealing to my cats, and they continued eating it without issue. I also like that these include added vitamins and postbiotics for a little extra nutritional support. The actual product was well received by my cats, but I do think the packaging could be improved to make dispensing easier and less wasteful feeling."

The pets love it and it doesn't cause GI distress.
"The pets (10 year old dog and 1 year old cat) love it! No gastrointestinal distress was noted. Would recommend."

Two out of three cats say this is delicious
"These cats have been Choolip fans for a long time, so when this product arrived, they were gathered around with great interest. I opened one of the total balance flavor, which was a new one to us. The first cat to arrivewas really excited. I opened the tube and she sniffed it repeatedly and then sat on the arm of the chair with her back turned to me and her tail whipping back-and-forth. Two of the other cats gobbled it right up. I opened a different flavor of Choolip as a means of apology, which was graciously accepted by the first cat. As she was finishing that off, I tried to slip the total balance tube back to her, and it was delicately sniffed and declined. These have a distinct B vitamin odor, which may have been the off-putting factor for the first cat. That having been said, these smell fresh, like they�re made from real ingredients. I trust this brand because it is designed by a veterinarian. They are more expensive than some of the tube treats out there, but I use a lot of tube treats as rewards for taking medication, so I am a regular purchaser. We do what we can to keep them well and happy. ETA. I tried it with everybody else. Five out of six cats say it�s delicious. There�s one in every crowd."

My pets love these as treats and it also helped appetite when it mattered
"I have been a Choolip customer for quite a while, and these Total Balance sticks seemed like a great combination treat. Both my cat and dog love them. They will literally try to sneak in and steal from each other if I am not careful, so there is no issue at all with whether they find these appealing. I like that these feel like more than just a treat, since they have vitamins and postbiotics included. I have used Choolip sticks as a snack, a topper, and a way to make food more interesting, and this version fits well into that same routine. Unfortunately, I have also seen them be useful in a more serious situation. A friend�s dog has been very ill and struggling with a low appetite, which has made it harder for him to take pain medicine that needs food with it. He actually perked up for a choolip stick and ate it eagerly, so I ended up giving my friend the rest of the box. That is not the fun version of a review I would rather be writing, but it is a very real reason I appreciate these. It matters to make final days worthwhile, and even a dog who's not doing well was willing to eat it. For my own pets, they are an easy favorite. For a picky or low-appetite pet, they can become invaluable in circumstances that no pet owner wants to be in but are a reality."

Great high-value treat for on-the-go
"I was drawn to these squeeze stick treats as something scrumptious and shelf-stable to carry in my treat pouch. Wet treats beat dry treats any day, but especially on long hikes on warm days. I whip one of these out when training our emergency recall. I chose this brand because the ingredients list is clean and species-appropriate. To be honest, the vitamin aspect doesn't matter to me, but because of the vitamin content, be aware of the recommended daily dose based on the weight of your dog. I got the variety pack initially and then the single-flavor value packs. The different flavors have different textures, although none are a mousse type. (Tiki Cat Stix mousse treats are my favorite for the lickmat I have stuck to the shower wall for baths because I need a quick application that spreads easily there.) In my opinion, the least to most runny are as follows: heart, skin, liver, eyes, brain, joints, and kidneys. Any texture works for the treat pouch. My dog likes all of them. (But she is a Golden Retriever and likes everything so your mileage may vary.)"

Mini schnauzer approved!
"I have a 2.5 year old 20 pound miniature schnauzer dog who is super picky about what he eats. Most vitamin chews he sniffs and walks away from. So when I got the chance to order this multipack of Choolip Squeeze Vita Stick Total Balance, I figured we�d give them a try. These vita sticks came in a pack of 49 (weird count if you ask me. Why not 50?) and come in box with a clear expiration date printed on it. I like how they list all the key nutrients and ingredients right on the package, so it�s easy to find out what good will come from giving these to my pup. The suggested daily feeding is also easy to understand. A pup that�s 20lbs can have up to 3 of these vita sticks per day, but I usually just give him one or two throughout the day as an extra special treat. Another thing I like about these vita sticks is that they don�t have a lot of extras in them. There�s no grains, no artificial colors or flavors, no salt or sugar, no other sweeteners, no trans fats, and no meat by products. Not only do I find these ok for my pup to eat, but Mr Picky Pup over here absolutely loves the taste of these things. I open the cabinet door in which I store them and my pup starts doing the happy dance because he knows what�s coming. Overall I am really glad I go the chance to order these Choolip Squeeze Vita Stick Total Balance for my pup to try. They�re an easy way to give my pup key nutrients every day, and the little tubes are easy for me to tear open and let him lick from."

Kitty loves them!
"The Choolip Dog & Cat Treats, Total Balance (15g x 49 Sticks), are easy to use, and they work great. The tubes are lightweight, durable, and portable/travel-friendly. The treats are a good thickness, creamy, and don't make any kind of a mess when served from the tube. My kitty is an extremely picky/finicky eater, so it can be difficult to find foods she enjoys, but she absolutely loves these! They're healthy, and help improve her overall wellness/well-being. These lickable treats are an excellent combination of function, and flavor - not just a treat with empty calories, but a treat that's also a health supplement. Altogether, I think they're very well made with high quality limited ingredients - a bit on the expensive side, but absolutely worth the price. I highly recommend them! Just an additional note: I've ordered several things from Choolip, and have never been disappointed. It's always high quality, and my kitty really enjoys it all."
