I looked up dreamies online to see if they have changed their recipe and found this article about a woman who's addicted to cat treats  :shocked:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2197968/Addicted-cat-food-Woman-eats-900-kitty-treats-day.html

Cheese dreamies are firm favourites here! Haven't bought any for a while (as I had a good stock of them) so wouldn't know if they have changed the recipe recently or anything like that.

Normally I would just think they are being fussy but it's surprising that they both have gone off them at the same time.

I'm going to try them on some other treats but it's a shame as dreamies have always been their favourite.

Our two are not keen on the cheese ones to be honest.

Neither's mine, she much prefers the meaty dreamies. Maybe it's just the cheese ones?

OMG spitting out Dreamies - unheard of.

Maybe they just fancy a change?  I give Bonnie other treats in between, weebox, temptations etc.

They are most probably just being cats and being awkward  :evillaugh: :hug:

The ones they have been crunching and spitting out are the Salmon flavour. I've just given them one each of the chicken ones that I've brought from Sainsburys and they have both crunched them and then spat them out. Very strange  :shocked:

Our two are not keen on the cheese ones to be honest. I have had some that seemed kind of sticky on the outside so maybe air has gotten in the bad and made them go a bit off so your cats don't like them?

Spoilt, as if you could think such a thing :shify: They haven't been given any extra treats over christmas apart from some tuna. We are vegans so don't have any meat around for them to eat and they don't actually eat any that I've brought especially for them. So cat treats are their only real treat. I have reduced the amount they have and they aren't crunching them now. I'm also going to go up to Sainsbury's today to see if I can find them some different treats. Can't have no treats for them over the new year.

I haven't found that, my cat still adores them. Maybe the shop you've got them from have a bad batch?

Gosh no - our two cats adore Dreamies! I have never known them turn up their nose at any flavour - I never remember which flavour they have anyway because they love em all!

They do however shun the pouches they usually love after they have gorged themselves of roast chicken and other delicacies.

Maybe your cats need to develop more of a hunger? Maybe they're just not hungry to turn their nose up at Dreamies. Or maybe - just maybe - they are like ours, a wee bit...(shhh keep your voice down)...spoilt?

Your cats could therefore be suffering from FTS - Full Tummy Syndrome. Not a cause for concern and readily cured by a bit of exercise and smaller portions at breakfast!

Merry Christmas all!

Does anyone know if the recipe for dreamies has changed? My two don't seem that keen on them anymore. When I give them their treat ball etc they seem to crunch them and spit them out. Has anyone else found this?
