Review: Simple ingredient. Cats love it !!! Recommended! - Both of my cats love this treats. They can’t get enough and I have to order more! It doesn’t have a strong smell and my cats love them. My husband tried a little bit based on curiosity and he said it’s tasty no wonder why the cats love them. It’s doesn’t have added salt, and it doesn’t taste salty, so I believe it’s a healthy option for my cats. My cats would fight over the treats whenever I feed them, they’re able to chew them with no issue, they finish 3 treats within 30 seconds. Freeze dried treat is a better option for us because it’s a simple ingredient without too much of added ingredient, it’s safer for my cats. Definitely worth it and I will get them on a regular basis now!!
Review: cats and dogs love the minnows, duck, and beef liver - for the bag of minnows, beef liver, duck bites. it is an amazing product. hell my cat ended up eating almost have the bag of duck bites, never got sick. but that's a tell tell that she loves them. if your cat has texture issues this may not be for them. my dog and cats go crazy for these treats. they last a while, decent price for being all natural and high quality. they are light and small pieces so it is easy to move to a different bag for travel, I used this for my dog's crate training, and he will do anything for them. overall, a great purchase I currently get them on a monthly subscription

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is raw freeze-dried food safe for my pet?**
A: Absolutely. Each and every Vital Essentials product is made in our very own facility located in Wisconsin. Our manufacturing facility proudly carries the Global Food Safety Initiative FSC22000 Certification and is EU and Gluten-Free certified.

**Q: Why should I wash my hands after handling raw freeze dried food?**
A: The FDA recommends washing your hands after handing any raw food, including freeze-dried pet foods.

**Q: Is it normal for raw freeze dried food to have an aroma?**
A: Yes! Since our foods are made with high levels of meat, you can expect the food to have a meaty aroma. Some proteins have a more noticeable aroma than others.

**Q: What if my pet has tummy issues after eating raw freeze dried food?**
A: Any change in diet comes with a chance of digestive upset. This is why we recommend a slow transition over the course of 5-7 days when changing your pet's food! This helps give your dog or cat plenty of time to adjust to his or her new diet.

**Q: What if my pet doesn't like his new food or treat?**
A: We're confident that your pet will LOVE Vital Essentials, but all animals have preferences! If the first product you try isn't a hit with your dog or cat, we offer a wide variety of proteins and textures that we're sure will be a great fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My cat is going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*by K***K on January 19, 2026*

What is in these things ?!?! Just kidding, it’s ONE INGREDIENT - CHICKEN! My cat, Misfit, is a happy 14 year old tabby cat. She’s just a “regular” tabby, but she is very special to me for so many reasons. She’s has always been a larger cat with a little extra weight, but I love her so much. Because I love her dearly, I care a lot about what I feed her and taking good care of her. Especially as we both get older. I’m always looking for ways to make her extra happy and I ordered these chicken treats on a whim. I wasn’t sure if Misfit would like them.. she’s a big girl but she can be picky sometimes. Well, she loves these. They are freeze dried but they are not too hard or crunchy for her. I also don’t worry at all about Misfit gaining any extra weight, because there’s no extra ingredients! She gets a couple of them and starts going CRAZY purring and cuddling with me. She loves these, and I love my cat! Well I’m not going to taste these for you, but since my cat love’s them, I’d assume they taste pretty good. Smells like a freeze dried chicken breast, no doubt there. They are fresh in a sealed, safe bag. They are crunchy but soft as they break up and come in various sizes in the bag, some regular sized and some little pieces/crumbs. I only give her a few and they do encourage her to drink some water since they are DRY, but this is good and cats always need to drink more water. So, in my opinion, they somewhat encourage hydration. If you love your cat, BUY THESE. And if you regret it, your cat is just being picky and you should get a different flavor. Misfit likes CHICKEN! These are awesome and I would 100% recommend and would buy again.
