Some great duck
This duck is great, my cat enjoys it and so does his neighbor friend cat. I got sardines and duck, between them the duck is the most liked.

All smashed!
Great raw product. This is a staple item for my cat’s diet. I always buy this brand – and the second time since they changed the patty size to “mini patties” that I’ve purchased this. Previously I purchased the full-sized patties many times over the last 4-5 years. This is the first time I have received such a damaged product – where all the patties have been smashed and crushed. My picky cat loves the patties because she likes to pick up the patties and play with it while eating – and never eats the crumbs. Usually it is not an issue, but as you can see, there is about 1/6th of the volume of the bag which is all fine powder – and the rest are broken and crumble at the touch. What happened? I would love for Vital Essentials to reimburse me for this purchase.

Awesome quality!
Floki loved the taste of these patties, though he preferred them dry rather than wet, so I’ll likely switch to the small nibs version. They break apart easily, no hassle there. They have a strong aroma that Floki loves, he always comes runnin’ when I open the bag. They’re expensive, naturally, so I feed them more as a topper/snack alongside his wet food.

The best is all our cat eats
We went through 20 or more different cat foods before our little boy settled on these biscuits as what he likes to eat. He also loves the rabbit. His vet feels he gets very healthy and extravagant food. We feel he is worth it. He had to live in a cage for six months before being adopted. He deserves the best!

Tippy is very finicky cat!
I just completed long story. Lost when went back for pictures! Adopted Tippy last Xmas. Turned 3 yrs in May. Had only been given kibble. I know cat’s desperately need wet food for water content. They tend to not drink lots of water but needed to avoid kidney problems they tend to develop. I tried over $200 the first month buying from Amazon the very best canned food. He refused every single brand! Was not eating. I resorted to the freeze dried brand I had fed my Havanese, Sophia for 17 yrs. Correction- I lived in Santa Barbara at the time and could buy the frozen raw. Much less expensive than freeze dried. However Amazon does not sell. I now live in Sacramento.Tippy was thrilled with the freeze dried Pork (one of least expensive and Rabbit ( most expensive)!I was relieved he was eating! However it seemed to be useless for the issue I was concerned about because he would only eat if I broke up into pieces but totally walked away when I added water as it is designed to have. Called the company and was told okay to give dry just be sure he has lots of fresh water. I ordered a fountain. If anyone is considering a fountain do not buy plastic! They hate and is bad for both dogs and cats. He enjoyed this. It has been two months since trying the canned so decided to try again. Same problem! He licks a spoonful of liquid, takes one bite and walks to other side of room where he cleans both paws for 30 min! He always eats every bite of his food with his paws. From picking up in bowl to putting in his mouth. I decided he just hates getting his paws wet!! Likely also because first 2.5 yrs of his life this was never presented to him and he seems to feel it is just WRONG for him to get dirty paws.Has anyone had this problem like this?I must say please read ingredients in this food. I have never found a better or equal quality anywhere. Just if you try be prepared to continue the monthly cost. And if your budget is like mine you will need to split the food budget 50/50 with your cat!!!

Love it!
I’ve been feeding my two cats a variety of the Vitals freeze dried foods. It isn’t their primary diet and I serve them each 1/2 a patty with their dry food (all rehydrated with water or bone broth/goats milk). They both love the rabbit and duck as they have sensitivities to beef/salmon/pork. It definitely is pricey, but if used in addition to your cats’ diet it isn’t so bad. The 3.75 oz bag will last my two cats about a month since I rotate their proteins so they don’t get the one flavor every day. We also really love the toppers/treats from this brand and its all cheaper on Amazon compared to your local pet store.

Dewey absolutely loves this freeze dried meal! Super simple to prep raw feeding on the go. Crumbles really well and absorbs water to create a well balancing hydrating raw meal on rotation. Love it!
