Small baked bite treats made from mackerel, egg, and oat flour.
Homemade guidance, not veterinary advice
Use mackerel packed in water, not brine or oil, and debone it fully, since added salt, oil, and bones aren't appropriate for cats. These treats avoid onion, garlic, and other common pet-toxic foods, but they're an occasional treat, not a meal. This is general guidance, not veterinary advice.
Instructions
4 steps- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet.
- 2
Mash the mackerel and mix with the egg and oat flour until a dough forms.
- 3
Roll into small bite-sized balls and flatten slightly on the baking sheet.
- 4
Bake for 15–18 minutes until firm. Cool completely before serving.
Nutrition character
Small baked treats built on mackerel, egg, and oat flour — a protein-rich, fish-forward snack that bakes firm and stores well.
Serving guide
One or two small treats at a time is plenty for most cats — treats are best kept to a small share of daily intake, and oily fish is best kept occasional.

- Rich in omega oils from mackerel
- Bite-sized for easy treating
- Bakes into a firm, easy-to-store treat
Storage
Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.

Cats of any age, as an occasional treat rather than an everyday meal.
Common questions
What mackerel should I use for cat treats?
Choose mackerel packed in water rather than brine or oil, drain it, and remove any bones, since added salt, oil, and bones aren't appropriate for cats.
Are these treats a complete meal?
No — they're meant as an occasional treat, not a replacement for your cat's regular balanced food.
How long do the treats keep?
They keep about 5 days refrigerated or up to 2 months frozen, so they're easy to batch and portion out.
