Go to the shopSimple Food Project Simply Treats are single-ingredient, freeze-dried raw treats for cats - vet-developed and crafted with USDA-inspected USA meat and wild-caught fish. Made without corn, soy, wheat, fillers, or additives, these treats deliver real whole-food nutrition with every bite. Each protein variety carries distinct TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) energetic properties, making it easy to select a treat that supports your cat's specific constitution, health pattern, and emotional needs.
Available in six single-ingredient varieties. Select by your cat's TCVM constitution, health pattern, or dietary preference:
In TCVM, food is medicine. Every protein carries a thermal nature, organ affinity, and set of physical and emotional actions that make it appropriate for specific constitutional patterns. Cats in TCVM are strongly governed by the Liver channel - their independent, territorial, and hunt-oriented nature reflects the Liver's role in governing the free flow of Qi, decisiveness, and drive. Liver Blood nourishment is therefore particularly important and behaviorally relevant in feline TCVM dietary therapy. Use the guide below to match your cat's treat to their individual needs.
Authenticity and purity are a crucial step in sourcing, but the biggest priority is safety. Simple Food Project partners only with vendors that comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and pairs with reputable suppliers who comply with stringent standards, while maintaining independent quality control measures - a trust but verify approach.
Simple Food Project also partners with suppliers who put conservation at the forefront of their operations. One supplier created a cutting-edge technology called Eco-harvesting, which prevents unnecessary bycatch of birds and sea life and prioritizes sustainability for wild-caught fish varieties.
Feed as a treat alongside your cat's regular diet. No rehydration required - offer directly from the bag. Follow the feeding guidelines on the package and adjust based on your cat's size and caloric needs.
Match the protein's thermal nature and organ affinity to your cat's TCVM constitution and current pattern. For hot, restless, hyperthyroid, or Yin-deficient cats, Duck (cool) or Whitefish (neutral to cool) are the most appropriate choices. For aging cats with Kidney Essence depletion, Salmon is the most targeted protein. For cats with Liver Blood deficiency (irritability, over-reactivity, dry coat, weak tendons), Bison Liver or Chicken Liver are best matched. For cold or digestively sensitive cats with Spleen Qi deficiency, Trout is the most warming option. If you are unsure of your cat's TCVM pattern, a TCVM-trained veterinarian can assess your cat's constitution and recommend the most appropriate protein, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Yes. Each variety contains a single protein ingredient with no fillers, corn, soy, wheat, or additives, making them a clean option for cats with known sensitivities or those on an elimination diet. Always introduce new proteins gradually and monitor for any sensitivity response.
Freeze-drying removes moisture from raw ingredients at low temperatures, preserving the natural nutrients, flavor, and texture of whole food without cooking. Simple Food Project includes pasteurization in the freeze-drying process to eliminate pathogens, giving your cat the nutritional benefits of raw without the handling risks of fresh raw food. All proteins are USDA-inspected and USA-sourced, including wild-caught fish.
The National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) Quality Seal is awarded only to companies that meet and exceed the NASC's rigorous standards for quality control, ingredient safety, labeling accuracy, and adverse event reporting - not every brand qualifies. The cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) certification means Simple Food Project's treats are produced in a facility that operates under the highest manufacturing safety and quality standards, with veterinary leadership overseeing every step of the process. Together, these credentials confirm that Simply Treats are produced to a higher standard of safety and quality assurance than uncertified competitors.
