Vital Essentials Chicken Hearts Dog Treats, 1.9 oz | Freeze-Dried Raw | Single Ingredient | Premium Quality High Protein Training Treats | Grain Free, Gluten Free, Filler Free

I thought I was going to do a cute unboxing and give my dogs one treat each like a responsible pet parent. Turns out, my puggles had other plans. These little snack bandits smelled the treats through a sealed bag, teamed up like a canine SWAT unit, and launched themselves up to the counter to stage a full-blown heist.They ripped open the package and each grabbed a treat and ran in opposite directions like they’d trained for this. The only reason I managed to salvage the rest of the pack is because these chews are long and thick enough that they had to actually stop and work on them. Thank you, treat design.I still have no idea what they smell like—sealed bag smells like nothing to me—but clearly these are the truffle equivalent of dog snacks. If your pups are food-driven masterminds like mine, maybe store these on a high shelf. Or in a vault.Highly recommended by two very determined puggles. Also, recommend by one puggle momma who gets some peace and (safe) quiet while the boys are busy working on their snacks.

Glad I found this brand of freeze-dried Raw Chicken Hearts. They smell fresh compared to other popular brands and all my dogs love this brand.Small bag however and with several dogs, it doesn't last long. So I find this item to be a bit pricey.Because they are fresher, they are not so dehydrated or tough. The hearts cut easily as I have little dogs and want to stretch them out. All my dogs can chew this brand well, even the older one with limited teeth. They are the right size too for chicken hearts, just saying.Overall, this is a very healthy, nutritious treat and I feel good giving it to them. Seems to keep their coats shiny.Great value for the price, just a bit pricey.

I have purchased the beef liver a few times now. My puppy loves them! I think they're great for puppies because the pieces are small. Since they're freeze dried, they're pretty easy for puppies to eat. Occasionally a some pieces are bigger than others, but they're mostly small and the same size. Sometimes I'll cut them in half just to make them last a little longer, and it works out because they are a little thick. They do have a smell to them, but nothing to be concerned about. They're great to use for training as well!

I use these every week at my dog training class. These are very handy and come in little bite sized pieces. I’ve bought other brands and the size of the pieces weren’t even close to uniform. There were tiny pieces and huge pieces. Not so with this. I can just reach in and grab a treat and I know it will be the appropriate size. My dogs love them and so does the cat (which was a surprise).

Over all these are a nice healthy alternative to big brand cat treats. I was hesitant to try freeze-dried foods because I had heard that cats were often off put by the texture, but gave it a shot anyway and I’m glad I did. She loves these little things and asks for some very time I’m by the cabinet they are in. I’ve got a little treat toy that she has to figure out how to open and before these she was never motivated enough to try but how she’ll empty it in 10 minutes. Will definitely be ordering other foods from this brand.Only con is they seem to have a powdery residue to them and there kind of small but that doesn’t seem to bother her.

My dog is extremely picky eater. Yes even on treats . She fell in love with these immediately. I give her two in the evening near bedtime . She expects themand knows when it’s time for her reward…and from al I can read they are very healthy …

They just arrived this morning. I have a 10 week old puppy so a lot of training happening right now but I struggled finding bite size treats that she really loved. Wow. She devours these! I expect these will help with training as they are a real reward to her! I will definitely be ordering again! Great value as well!

I use this particular size for my 2 Maine Coon girls. I had 1 that had problems with loose poop and this was recommended by a breeder. It fixed the problem, I give 1/2 heart morning and 1/2 at dinner. I have it on auto delivery so I don’t run out!
