Inaba Brings Japanese Quality to Pet Treats

Long before they made pet treats, the Inaba family was famous for seafood. In 1805, Yoshizo Inaba started catching fresh tuna in Japan to feed families. For eight generations, this family has worked with the ocean. In 1958, they decided to bring that same human-grade quality to pets. Today, Inaba is not just another pet food company. They are the creators of the "lickable treat" craze that has changed how owners bond with their cats.

Most treats are dry, crunchy, and full of mystery ingredients. Inaba changed the game by focusing on moisture and fresh flavor. They know that cats evolved in the desert and do not drink enough water on their own. By making treats that are high in liquid and made from real, deep-sea tuna and cage-free chicken, they solve a major health problem while making pets happy.

This brand is for the owner who wants to feel close to their pet. It is for the person who wants to hand-feed their cat and hear them purr. Whether you are training a kitten or trying to give medicine to a stubborn senior, Inaba offers a healthy, low-calorie way to say "I love you." It is a treat that feels like a reward for both of you.

Why Inaba Keeps It Simple

• Human-Grade Heritage
  We use the same high-quality tuna and chicken that you would eat yourself. Our ingredients are 100% human-grade, meaning we never use scraps or by-products that are not good enough for people.

• Dolphin-Safe Tuna
  We care about the ocean. We only use deep-sea tuna that is caught in a way that protects dolphins. Every batch comes with a certificate to prove it was harvested responsibly.

• Hydration Hero
  Our signature Churu® treats are 88% moisture. This helps keep your pet hydrated, which is crucial for kidney and urinary health, especially for cats who eat dry food.

• Green Tea Extract
  We add natural green tea extract to our recipes. This is not for flavor, but for health. The catechins in the tea help reduce the smell of litter box waste and act as a natural antioxidant.

Top Inaba Formulas

Churu® Purées

This is the product that made us famous. It is a creamy, lickable treat that comes in a tube. You can squeeze it up for your cat to lick right from your hand. It is made with wild-caught tuna or farm-raised chicken and has a savory flavor that even the pickiest cats cannot resist. It is the best way to bond with your pet or distract them during grooming.

Churu® Vet Formula

This is a special version of our famous treat designed for clinics. It has fewer calories and is formulated to help sick pets get their appetite back. Veterinarians use it to hide pills or to give energy to cats who are recovering from surgery. We recommend asking your vet about this if your pet needs extra support during an illness.

Grilled Fillets

Sometimes your pet wants something to chew on. These are whole, hand-cut fillets of tuna or chicken that have been lightly grilled and packed in a savory broth. They are grain-free and look exactly like the meat you buy at the grocery store. It is a perfect high-protein snack for cats or small dogs who crave real meat texture.
