Vital Essentials Chicken Hearts Cat Treats, 1 oz | Freeze-Dried Raw | Single Ingredient | Grain Free, Gluten Free, Filler Free

I was a little nervous about ordering a different brand of treats for my cats because let’s face it, freeze dried treats aren’t cheap.I ran out of treats and didn’t have time to go to the pet store so I ordered these. I have 2 cats. Daisy cried periodically at the kitchen cabinet for 2 days (every time she thought about treats). She snubbed her nose at the cheap, stale brand that sat in the cabinet for months. Joe happily ate several.When I arrived home from work today, Daisy ran to the kitchen cabinet to tell me what a good girl she was all day and needed a treat. Thankfully, Amazon had delivered!As I opened the package I smelled a hint of coconut. Yes, the freeze dried chicken smells a little like coconut.With a little coaxing, Daisy accepted the new treats and seems to be happy to have treats in the house again. Joe is happy too.

Every time I bring the bag out, he gets so excited and can’t wait for me to give him one. The freeze-dried texture and natural flavor really seem to appeal to her. My puppy, on the other hand, loved them a little too much—she actually tore into the bag when I wasn’t looking just to get to them! Safe to say they were a huge hit with both of my pets. So far, they’ve both gone crazy for the minnows and the beef liver. I’m really looking forward to trying the other flavors and seeing which ones become their new favorites. I love that these treats are made with quality ingredients and no unnecessary additives—definitely a product I feel good about giving to my pets!

These things smell like old fish but my cats lose their minds over them. Very healthy treat for them to have and they absolutely love them. Since my cats have lost a lot of teeth over the past few years (due to age, etc) I find that it works best if I cut them into fourths for them. They have no problem eating them, and they have not caused any digestion issues at all. I put them on top of their morning and evening meals now, but they also like them alone as a snack.

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!

1 out of my 5 loved the minnows! I have 2 kittens going to new homes ( 1 of those is the one that **loves** the minnows) and 3 adult cats. The 1 kitten is crazy about them! The rest (1 kitten and 3 adults) are not too sure... I would reccomend these as long as A) it's affordable to you. Or B) you have a friend/family/neighbor to give them as a 'kitty present' *just* in case your own kitty doesn't take to them. If they do, you won't be disappointed! I think its worth the try to be honest. I just held them and used my thumb nail to break them into 1/3 or 1/4 (depending on size). Unless your kitty is fully grown and sorta wild, I would reccomend breaking them up. Plus it releases a different smell that may entice them. I gave a 4 star because it's my first night trying them and the reaction that we recieved from the 1 kitten was well worth the money! Who knows.. the others may beg for them tomorrow!

Buyers beware: these freeze-dried minnows are not just treats — they are a gateway snack to feline felonies.I bought these thinking, "Oh how cute, a healthy little snack for my sweet baby kittens." What I actually purchased was the catalyst to a full-blown Ocean's Eleven-style heist.My household has two masterminds-in-fur: one older cat with Olympic-level vertical jumps, and a younger kitten who could probably crack a biometric safe with a twist-tie and three seconds. Together? Unstoppable.I came home from the simple task of dropping off my kids at school — just 20 minutes tops — and walked into what I can only describe as Minnow Mayhem™. The older cat had scaled the high kitchen cabinets (where we thought the treats were safely hidden), then yeeted the bag down like some sort of loot drop to his partner in crime. My younger kitten, already waiting like a furry gremlin, had the bag ripped open in a time span that made me question the laws of physics.In the 15 steps it took for me to reach the kitchen, the job was done. The bag was open. The minnows were being inhaled. And me? I made the mistake of trying to intervene.That's when my younger kitten unlocked their final form: Feral Flash™. I reached for the bag and suddenly — BAM — a blur of paws, a flurry of crunches, and then… silence. Except for the sound of tiny, dried fish raining across my floor like a seafood apocalypse.My kitchen looked like Poseidon's pantry exploded.So yes — five stars. Absolutely delicious, apparently. But guard these with your life. Store them in a biometric safe. Possibly a bank vault. Because once your cats get a taste, they will stop at nothing. They will find them. They will open them. And they will eat them like furry piranhas at a Vegas buffet.Don’t be like me. Protect yourself. Protect your minnows.

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!
