The snacks come in four feline-friendly flavors: Ocean Fish, Salmon, Chicken, and Liver.
SnoreStop for Pets
($8-$10) www.SnoreStop.com
(800) 337-4835
SnoreStop has already made its name as a remedy for humans, but now the snore relief product is available for furry ones too. SnoreStop for Pets is drug-free, all-natural, and claims no side effects. It can be used by cats and dogs and comes either as an oral spray or digestible tablet. SnoreStop for Pets shrinks swollen soft tissues in the throat and dries built-up mucous in the sinus passages thereby acting as a decongestive, anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic, and mucolytic. That means better slumber for you and your four-legged companion.

These treats are so healthy that humans can eat them–but you’ll want to save them for your pet since they’re made specifically for animals with
dietary restrictions. KC Goodies are handmade with organic, hypoallergenic preservative-free ingredients like applesauce, peanut butter, carob, and pumpkin. Snacks are available in the form of cookies, cakes, meat loaf treats, and pizza. KC Goodies also offers up a line of “unipet” treats for both cats and dogs.
