Review: High protein, clean cat treat - I bought these as a high-protein, minimal-ingredient treat option and they’ve been a big hit right away. Ingredients & quality: These are truly single-ingredient treats—just freeze-dried whole minnows, nothing added. You can tell the quality is high based on the smell (strong fish scent, which cats love) and the intact whole-fish appearance. No fillers, grains, or artificial ingredients. Palatability: Every cat I’ve tried these with reacts immediately. Even picky eaters show strong interest, and they’re especially useful as a high-value reward or food topper. The crunch factor seems to make them more engaging than softer treats. Nutrition & use: Because they’re freeze-dried and protein-dense, a little goes a long way. I like using them as an occasional treat rather than free-feeding. They’re also easy to break into smaller pieces if you want better portion control. Things to consider: The smell is strong (expected for real fish), so you’ll want to keep the bag sealed. The whole-minnow size may be large for some cats, but they crumble easily if needed. Overall: If you’re looking for a clean, species-appropriate treat with no unnecessary additives, these are an excellent choice. High quality, simple ingredients, and extremely appealing to cats.
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!!

## 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.
