Review: 1st experience w/freeze dried minnows - I purchased these "cat" treats a couple of weeks ago, it was also the first time, I have given freeze dried minnows to my cats, period. I have 3 cats, and I occasionally take cat treats to the feral/stray cats that are around work. My cats: 🐾 my 2 female cats; 1 is a tuxedo (will be 3 yrs old in December) and the other is a Calico (will be 2 yrs old the end of August); neither like these treats, I have given them plain in water no added salt canned sardines (marketed for human consumption) before, and they liked it. But not only did they not like the freeze dried minnows, my calico made a face that if she could talk, might have said; "do you really expect me to eat, a dried dead fish?" 😂 It also seemed like they didn't know how or of they could eat it 🤷‍♀️ . 🐾 My 3rd cat, is a male; will be 2 yrs old in November, really liked these, I may buy them again for him, and my dog 😂 (a chiweenie = chihuahua/dacshund mix; approximately 12 yrs old ). One fell on the floor, when I was putting some in my cats treat dishes, and before I could pick it up my dog gobbled it up. The only ingredient in this treat, is minnows. So, needless to say over the next couple of days my dog enjoyed these as an occasional treat. 🐈 feral/strays: Now at work, there are some feral/stray cats that, some have been around there, long before I started working there almost 11 yrs ago (7/27/15). I bring them treats on occasion and feed them in a non-conspicuous place, off work property. There is one calico there, that has been there for at least the last 3 yrs, and she didn't like these. The rest however loved the treats and seemed to enjoy eating it..
Review: Dogs love and easily breaks into smaller pieces! - Dogs love the freeze dried fish. I worried it would be hard to eat for my dog that doesn't have teeth but these easily crumble into smaller pieces! I love that it's only one ingredient.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great healthy quick cat snack
*by M***R on July 16, 2026*

My cats absolutely love these things. And I feel like they’re healthier (no crazy ingredients/preservatives) than other treats. I typically give them 2-3 at a time and they are now trained on when theyre gonna get them. Great size for a quick kitty treat!
