INABA offers 25 cat and dog treats in Malaysia, spanning creamy purees, soft bites and juicy morsels. With options like Churu, Soft Bits, Juicy Bites and Wan Churu, this guide breaks down each line so you can pick the perfect treat for your pet.
What INABA Sells in Malaysia
INABA is a well-known Japanese pet food brand, and in Malaysia it offers a diverse range of treats for both cats and dogs. The local lineup includes 25 products, carefully categorised into cat treats and dog treats. For cats, you'll find creamy purees, soft bites and juicy treats, while dogs can enjoy creamy treats and grilled chicken fillets.
The range is designed to cater to different preferences and feeding occasions. Whether you need a high-value reward for training, a hydrating snack for a picky eater, or a special treat for bonding, INABA has something to offer. The products come in various pack sizes, from single-serve tubes to larger multi-packs, making it easy to choose based on your pet's consumption and your storage needs.
In Malaysia's hot and humid climate, it's important to store treats properly to maintain freshness. INABA's individual packaging helps keep treats fresh, but always reseal or refrigerate after opening as needed. Many of these treats are also ideal for hiding medication or encouraging picky pets to eat, thanks to their strong aroma and palatability.
Cat Treat Lines: Churu, Soft Bits, Juicy Bites and More
INABA's cat treats are the most extensive part of the range. The Churu line is particularly famous for its creamy puree texture, which cats love. Within Churu, there are specialised sub-lines: Churu Skin & Coat focuses on skin and coat health with recipes like Chicken with Scallop and Tuna with Scallop, while Churu for Kittens offers gentle nutrition for young cats. Churu treats come in 56g tubes, perfect for hand-feeding or as a food topper.
Soft Bits are soft, bite-sized treats made with chicken or tuna fillets and mixed with ingredients like dried bonito, scallop, squid or crab. These are great for training or as a quick reward. Each pack contains 25g, and the variety of flavours ensures even fussy cats find a favourite.
Juicy Bites are tender, juicy morsels that come in 3x11.3g packs. Flavours include Homestyle Broth & Calamari, Shrimp & Seafood Mix, Crab & Scallop, Fish and Clam, and Tuna and Chicken. These are ideal for cats who enjoy a softer texture with a rich, savoury taste.
For larger households or frequent treaters, the Churu Skin & Coat Variety pack (14g x 50) offers great convenience. Churutto for cats is not listed in the current facts, but the brand does offer Churutto for dogs. Overall, the cat range is designed to satisfy various taste preferences and functional needs.
Dog Treat Lines: Wan Churu, Churutto and Churubee
INABA's dog treats are fewer but equally thoughtful. The Wan Churu line features creamy treats in 20g x 8 packs, with flavours like Chicken with Vegetables, Chicken with Tuna, and Chicken with Cartilage. These are perfect for dogs who enjoy licking and are great for bonding or as a high-value reward.
Churutto for Dogs comes in 8g x 8 packs and includes varieties such as Chicken with Cartilage and Chicken with Vegetables. These smaller portions are ideal for small dogs or for training sessions where you need multiple rewards.
Churubee for Dogs offers Grilled Chicken Fillet with Calcium in 10g x 8 packs. These are more substantial, meaty treats that dogs can chew on, providing a satisfying texture and added calcium for bone health.
All these dog treats are made with real chicken and are free from artificial colours and preservatives, aligning with INABA's commitment to quality. They are suitable for dogs of all sizes, though portion sizes should be adjusted accordingly.
Key Formats and Pack Sizes
INABA treats come in a variety of formats to suit different feeding habits. The most common formats include 10g x 8, 11.3g x 3, 14g x 50, 20g x 8, 25g, 56g, and 8g x 8. These pack sizes range from trial-friendly small packs to bulk options for multi-pet homes.
For cats, the 56g Churu tubes are a staple, while the 14g x 50 variety pack is excellent for those who want to stock up. Soft Bits come in 25g packs, and Juicy Bites in 3x11.3g packs. For dogs, Wan Churu and Churutto are available in 20g x 8 and 8g x 8 respectively, and Churubee in 10g x 8.
When choosing a pack size, consider your pet's daily treat intake and how often you use treats for training or rewards. Smaller packs are great for trying new flavours, while larger packs offer better value and convenience for regular use.
How to Choose the Right INABA Treat
Selecting the right treat depends on your pet's species, age, preferences, and any specific needs. For cats, start with Churu if you want a creamy, lickable treat that can also be used to top food or administer medication. Soft Bits are ideal for training and for cats who like a bit of texture. Juicy Bites are perfect for cats who enjoy soft, meaty pieces.
For kittens, the Churu Kitten varieties provide gentle nutrition. For skin and coat support, the Churu Skin & Coat line is a good choice. For dogs, Wan Churu offers a creamy reward, Churutto is great for small dogs or training, and Churubee provides a more substantial chew.
Consider your pet's size and chewing style. Small dogs may prefer Churutto's small portions, while larger dogs might enjoy Churubee's grilled fillets. Always introduce new treats gradually and monitor for any reactions. And remember to adjust main meals to account for treat calories.
Storage and Feeding Tips for Malaysian Weather
Malaysia's hot and humid climate can affect the freshness of pet treats. INABA treats are individually packaged for convenience, but once opened, they should be consumed promptly. For creamy treats like Churu, you can squeeze out the desired amount and reseal the tube with a clip, storing it in the refrigerator for up to a day.
Soft Bits and Juicy Bites should be kept in an airtight container after opening to prevent them from drying out or absorbing moisture. Always check the expiry date and follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
When feeding, offer treats as part of a balanced diet. Treats should not exceed 10% of your pet's daily caloric intake. If your pet has specific health concerns, consult your veterinarian before introducing new treats.
