Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Single Ingredient Cat Treats, Minnows, 1 oz (Pack of 6)

These treats are made from 100% freeze-dried minnows—no fillers, no additives, no mystery ingredients. Just wholesome protein. It’s reassuring to know exactly what I’m feeding my pets, especially with all the questionable treats out there.My cat, who’s usually picky, treats these like gold. And my dog? He’ll do tricks just to earn one. The scent is strong enough to grab their attention, but not overpowering for humans. It’s like pet crack—in the best way.Unlike wet or oily treats, these are dry and clean to handle. They don’t leave residue on your fingers, and they’re easy to store. Plus, they’re shelf-stable, so I can keep a stash on hand without worrying about spoilage.Because they’re small (I've experienced larger minnows from other brands that my cat didn't care for) and high-value, they work great as training rewards or puzzle toy fillers. I’ve even used them to coax my cat into her carrier—no resistance when minnows are involved!If you’re looking for a treat that’s nutritious, species-appropriate, and adored by both cats and dogs, freeze-dried minnows are a must-try. They’re a little weird-looking at first (yes, they’re whole fish!), but once you see your pets’ reaction, you’ll understand the hype.

So worth the price! Is a little higher than the general treats but possibly the best for your cats. Stays good and fresh for a long time due to them being freeze-dried. My cats love the taste of these and practically beg for more! Looks great and smells like the real deal, not artificial. One of the best cat treats available in my opinion.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve bought these more than five times now—safe to say they’re a hit in this house. My cat absolutely loses her mind over these little freeze-dried minnows. I’ve tried adding other treats to the diet, but nothing gets the same reaction like with these and with freeze dried eggs. She hears the bag and comes sprinting.What I love is that they’re just one ingredient—literally just fish, no fillers or weird stuff. That gives me peace of mind, especially since my cat can be sensitive to other treats. They’re a bit crunchy and kind of gross if you’re squeamish (they’re whole fish), but I honestly don’t care because she loves them so much. Think of fried fish! Looks the same.They’re a bit pricey for the amount, but it’s totally worth it for how excited she gets and it adds to her daily healthy food intake.She also barely chews them, a couple of bites and down the gullet it goes — but never had any digestive issues or similar.

These are a BIG HIT at home. Cats and dogs both love them. The duck liver doesn't smell good though.Freeze dried meat. Very healthy. You can soak them in water or feed them dry. They're freeze dried so they should last a long time, unless they get wet.Packaged by weight, not by volume. There's not a lot in the bag. These are not going to be a daily treat. The fact that they really like them and they're very healthy makes them worth the money. It depends on how you feel about your animals.I recommend these.

The cat is got this for wouldn't eat them, but she want feeling well and stopped eating all dry treats. However, my kid's cat absolutely loves them. We do break them apart because some of the pieces are too big for her but we'll buy these again

I absolutely love these! I feed them to both my turtle as well as my cats! Both absolutely love them! They are real and natural! Good quantity amount for what you receive! My cats and turtle appear to absolutely love the taste! My tuxedo literally goes nuts for them and he gets super fluffy with excitement when he gets these as treats! I love giving my cats and turtle natural real food. Nothing nasty. They are easy to chew! Both cat and turtle have no problems chewing or digesting them! Their healthy overall and good source of omegas for the pets!

Our cat has become finicky in her old age 😉 She's not liking some of her favorite food and snacks so I have been experimenting with new and some "unusual" stuff. The only thing I can say is my cat needs intervention now, she has lost her kitty mind over these treats! And it's the heart ones she loves none of the others! The next shipment (I have them on auto delivery) i am going to put them under lock and key because she "found" where we had them and tore into the bag and left 2 only because she got caught! 😉Anyway, highly recommend them, good, healthy treat for your kitty!

My cats LOVE these. Kinda pricy for the amount, especially since I have 3 cats so I keep these as special treats although I was hoping to be able to add one to each of their meals every day. There's some bigger fish in the bag that I kinda wish they were on the smaller side, just so I could get more fishes in the bag rather than less with bigger fish. But again, I have 3 cats. If you have one cat it would be way better.
