Shreds for Pets: Why Shreds are More than Just a Trend
When it comes to pet nutrition, the world of formulations is always evolving — and one texture that’s been gaining serious traction lately is shreds. You may have seen it on labels like “shredded chicken in gravy” or “tuna shreds in broth.” But what exactly are “shreds for pets”? Let’s dig in.
So, What Are Shreds?
Shreds are a style of wet pet food that features real meat or fish pulled or shredded into thin strands — think slow-cooked chicken that’s been pulled apart with a fork. These shreds are typically mixed with broth, gravy, or gelée, making them a flavorful, protein-rich, and highly palatable option for cats and dogs.
In other words: they’re meaty, juicy, and a whole lot closer to what your pet might eat in the wild (if they had a personal chef).
Why Pets (and Pet Parents) Love Them
- Real TextureUnlike pâtés or loaf-style foods, shreds offer a fibrous, natural feel that mimics whole meat. This texture can entice picky eaters — especially cats, who are notorious food critics.
- Hydration BoostSince shreds are often served in broth or gravy, they help increase your pet’s water intake. That’s a major win, especially for cats who don’t always drink enough on their own.
- Ingredient TransparencyShreds make it easier to see what you’re serving. Real strands of meat = real food. This appeals to pet parents who are ingredient-conscious and want transparency in their pets’ diets.
