About Delectables

Delectables is a Hartz brand, part of a pet-care business now majority-owned by Unicharm Corporation with Sumitomo Corporation holding a minority stake. The line's Squeeze Up tubes were built around a single idea: a rich, lickable purée in a handheld tube that a cat can take straight from the packaging, with no bowl and no chewing required. Delectables treats are made in Thailand, a major source of the tuna that anchors many of the brand's recipes, and the range now spans five textures (stew, bisque, chowder, soft paté, and savory broth) across kitten, adult, and senior formulas.

The Squeeze Up format is grain-free with no added fillers, by-products, or preservatives, and the senior line adds extra vitamins aimed at cats ten to fifteen years and older. In our own testing, the format's biggest strength shows up with exactly the cats other treats struggle to reach: seniors with a fading sense of smell and confirmed picky eaters, who take a warm, strongly-scented purée far more readily than a dry or crunchy treat.

Why we recognized Delectables

The House of Mittens Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our vet-reviewed category guides. Delectables earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against feline-health criteria, used with real cats, and judged on merit.

Delectables products we rated highly

Delectables Squeeze Up Variety Pack, Creamy Lickable Wet Cat Treats
Top Pick 2026

Delectables Squeeze Up Variety Pack, Creamy Lickable Wet Cat Treats

With more than twenty-three thousand ratings, this is one of the most-reviewed treats we've tested, and the acceptance rate among fussy and elderly cats is the reason why. The soft, no-chewing lickable format works well for senior cats with dental disease or a sore mouth, and the variety pack format lets an owner find the flavor a particular cat responds to. It's grain-free with no added fillers, and the single-serve tubes build in portion control.

Top Pick 2026

Delectables Squeeze Up Variety Pack, Creamy Squeezable Puree, Lickable Wet Cat Treats, Grain Free, 0.5 Ounces Tube, 54 Tubes Total

This 54-tube pack carries the largest review base in our lickable-treats testing, and it's grain-free and carrageenan-free. The larger pack size brings the per-tube running cost down, and the soft purée texture is one that cats with dental disease or a sore mouth can take without discomfort. Our tests found the variety-pack format especially useful for finding the one flavor a fussy or senior cat will reliably accept.

  • Grain-free across the tested packs, with no added fillers, by-products, or preservatives
  • Variety-pack sizing lets owners identify which flavor a particular cat responds to without committing to a full box of one recipe
  • In our testing, acceptance among fussy and elderly cats was consistently higher with this format than with drier treat styles
