If you’ve ever met a picky cat (or a treat-obsessed dog), you know the struggle: you buy something “highly rated,” bring it home… and get the blink of judgment.

That’s why we love Inaba treats. They’re the kind of treats that make pets come running—great for bonding, training, enrichment, and even helping with those “I need you to take this” moments (like meds, nail trims, or post-bath peace offerings).

At Natural Pet Food Solutions, we carry three fan favorites:

  • Churu Tubes

  • Churu Pop ’N Serve

  • Juicy Bites

Here’s what makes each one special—and how to use them at home.

Why Inaba is a Treat Aisle Superstar

Inaba treats are known for being:

  • Irresistibly tasty (high success rate with finicky eaters)

  • Great for interactive feeding (you + your pet = bonding time)

  • Perfect for enrichment (licking is calming and mentally engaging)

  • Easy to portion (a little goes a long way)

They’re especially popular for cats, but many dogs go wild for them too—depending on the product and recipe.

1) Churu Tubes: The “Treat That Becomes a Ritual”

Churu Tubes are the classic. Creamy, lickable, and designed to be fed straight from the tube (or squeezed onto a dish).

Best for:

  • Bonding time (hand-feeding builds trust fast)

  • Cats who prefer soft textures

  • Picky eaters who ignore crunchy treats

  • Enrichment: slow licking = calming, focused behavior

How to use Churu Tubes:

  • Straight from the tube: your cat will likely turn into a tiny, happy shark.

  • As a topper: squeeze a little over food to encourage eating.

  • In puzzle toys: add a bit to a lick mat or enrichment feeder.

  • For medication help: hide a pill in a small “blob” (ask us for tips if your pet is clever).

Pro tip: If your cat gets overstimulated with hand-feeding, squeeze it onto a spoon or dish—same excitement, less accidental tooth contact.

2) Churu Pop ’N Serve: Clean, Easy, No-Mess Lick Treat

Churu Pop ’N Serve is a super convenient version of lickable goodness—designed to be served quickly and neatly (great for multi-pet households or anyone who wants zero mess).

Best for:

  • Fast treat time with minimal cleanup

  • Busy mornings and “grab-and-go” pet parenting

  • Cats who like routine: same texture, consistent portion

  • Travel or treat-time on the move

Fun ways to use Pop ’N Serve:

  • Serve it as-is as a quick reward.

  • Freeze it for a longer-lasting enrichment treat (especially helpful for bored indoor cats).

  • Post-grooming peace treaty—this one works wonders after brushing.

Why we like it: It’s simple, tidy, and still gives that lick-based enrichment cats crave.

3) Juicy Bites: The “Crunch + Soft” Treat for Texture Lovers

If your pet likes treats with more “chew” to them, Inaba Juicy Bites are a totally different vibe: bite-sized pieces with a juicy center that pets find super exciting.

Best for:

  • Training (small pieces, quick rewards)

  • Cats who like texture (not every cat is a lick-treat cat!)

  • Treat puzzles and snuffle mats

  • Multi-cat homes where everyone wants their own piece

How to use Juicy Bites:

  • Keep them in a treat pouch for quick training sessions.

  • Toss a few for a mini “hunt game” around the house.

  • Use them as a high-value reward after nail trims or carrier practice.

Pro tip: If your cat tends to inhale treats, offer one at a time or break them up.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a simple guide:

  • For picky cats or bonding time: Churu Tubes

  • For clean, easy lick treats: Churu Pop ’N Serve

  • For training or crunchy/chewy fans: Juicy Bites

And honestly? Many pet parents end up getting one of each—because different moods call for different treats.

A Quick Treat Reminder

Treats are the fun stuff, but they’re still treats—so we always recommend:

  • using them as part of a balanced diet,

  • watching portions for small pets,

  • and choosing the option that fits your pet’s chewing style and preferences.

If your cat has sensitivities or a medical condition, we can help you pick the best match.
