I love making cards like these that have a bit of movement by using two card blanks instead of just one. It gives me lots of space to fill with pretty papers and embellishments which are my favourite thing to use! We joined HobbyMaker in May 2022 and launched our first EVER cardmaking kits. We launched them exclusively and had a complete sell-out during the first hour with our ‘Distressed Botanicals’ kit! What's your favourite craft project? Our range of cat treats are designed to be both functional and beneficial. With added slippery elm, a prebiotic that can also help with hairballs. We make sure to list every ingredient in our recipes, and often where they come from too, so you know exactly what you're serving. Along with the analytical constituents, to give you even more information!

Just as minerals are essential for our own health, they're essential for our kitties' health too. Contributing to almost all their bodily reactions, from enzyme formation to oxygen transportation. Dreamies treats mention Potassium Iodide and Copper (Cupric) Sulphate. Iodine is required to make thyroid hormones, which play a vital role in brain and bone development. Whilst Copper Sulphate (primarily the copper element) plays a vital role in enzyme reactions. Vegetable Protein Extracts Now onto the vegetable protein extracts. As we've mentioned, cats are obligate carnivores, which means they require animal protein in their diet. This is due to the fact they are unable to synthesise certain essential amino acids, like Taurine, for themselves. Added vegetable protein extracts do not help provide these amino acids, and might misguide you if you were to look at the analytical constituents. This could show a high level of analytical protein %, but if the protein isn't from an animal source, it's not going to help your cat thrive.

Whilst we all want to give our cat something they love, especially if they're fuss pots, just because they love them doesn't mean they're good for them. If your cat becomes used to treats with high sugar or salt levels, it can also make it harder to transition to healthy natural treats without these ingredients too. So start 'em on the good stuff young!

What is in Dreamies Cat Treats?

We've seen some threads of customers concerned that these treats are addictive as their kitty is scarily obsessed with them. Whilst the addictive potential of any food is debatable, cat treats may include added sugars, salts, additives and flavourings. These all make them extremely tasty, but not so healthy. Think sweets for children. The product range has grown immensely since the small collection of single stamps that first graced the crafting market over 10 years ago - the Dreamees brand now boasts over 500 products ranging from stamps and metal cutting dies to our range of MDF kits which are all manufactured in-house by our MDF expert Jimmy. According to European law, 'meat and animal derivatives' means; "all the fleshy parts of slaughtered warm-blooded land animals, fresh or preserved by appropriate treatment, and all products and derivatives of the processing of the carcass or parts of the carcass of warm-blooded land animals". In 2022, Dreamees joined the brand new TV craft channel H obbyMakerwhere the reception was incredible. The journey continues and Dreamees are featured regularly on the channel with live demonstrations from Hayley. Alongside this, Dreamees products also appear regularly on the Crafters TV channel, which is part of the Crafter's Companion brand, and are demonstrated by their talented team of crafters.

Dreamees was founded in 2010 by Hayley, after leaving sixth form college, at the age of 18. With the idea of studying to become a primary teacher, Dreamees was a side-project whilst Hayley was studying at The Open University - after completing her degree, Hayley and Carol secured a place on a crafting TV shopping channel where the business grew from strength to strength. We all want to treat our kitty to a delicious cat treat now and then. Dreamies Cat Treats, made by MARS, are one of the most popular on the market in the UK, but are they really the best reward for your kitty? There are a number of different flavours, so for this review, we'll be focusing on their classic Dreamies™ Cheese flavour. Cereals are the second category listed by Dreamies Cat Treats. This encompasses a whole range of different grains. To be precise, 9, that includes wheat, rye, barley, oat, rice, millet, corn, sorghum, and triticale (a hybrid of wheat and rye). As no detailed specification is provided, the recipe could include one, two, or all nine of these grains in different combinations. If your kitty has an intolerance to certain grains and must avoid them, this could be problematic if you can't identify if the problem ingredient is in the cat treat. Oils and Fats Again this is a very vague phrase, which means you simply don't know what you’re getting in each treat. Vague ingredients allows suppliers to switch up ingredients based on what's most cost-effective at the time. So your Dreamies cat treats could change batch to batch. MineralsNext up, oils and fats! We know our kitties are obligate carnivores and animal sources are easier to digest but oils and fats could be from either plants or animal sources (or both!), refined or unrefined, high-quality or low-quality, you get the gist, there's a whole variety and it’s impossible to know just by looking at the label. In the UK, there's no legal obligation for pet food and treat companies to list individual ingredients in their products, or their % either. Instead, they can simply list them by category. This means a lot of ingredients may be hidden, and you may not be fully aware of what you’re giving to your furry feline. For example, if you have a look at their Tuna flavour, the ingredients composition looks exactly the same excluding the milk. We'll start by exploring what goes into them, following onto whether they're addictive like some internet users suggest, finishing with how to look for a healthy treat for your cat. Comfortably seated? Let's begin... What is in Dreamies Cat Treats? A refined oil is one that has been bleached or deodorised after extraction. They're known to increase bad LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin levels. So for kitties that need to watch out for any of these, knowing which oils are included is essential.
