Zeal's Green Lipped Mussels are freeze-dried whole, so the finished treat is a single shellfish ingredient with a crude protein figure of 62.1% and nothing else added. The freeze-drying keeps them light and crisp rather than chewy, making them easy for cats and small dogs to eat in one go, useful for training or as a novel, seafood-based reward. There are no colourings, flavours or preservatives worked in at any stage, so what's freeze-dried is what's in the pack. The 50g pack is the smallest in the Zeal range, reflecting how concentrated a treat this is compared with the fillets and puffs. PeekAPaw stocks these mussels for owners after a single-ingredient shellfish option to rotate through a cat's or small dog's treats.
Choosing the right treat
Because each mussel is small and light, it's an easy size for cats, who tend to nibble a piece rather than bolt it, and for smaller dogs who might otherwise struggle with the tougher chews in the Zeal range. Larger dogs that gulp treats quickly should still be supervised, simply because the pieces are small enough to swallow without much chewing at all. It also suits older pets who can no longer manage a firmer chew.
Storage
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Once opened, keep it zip-locked or move any unused mussels into an airtight container so they stay crisp.
