## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My cats approve and they Are picky
*by H***N on 6 July 2026*

We cat purrents know how finicky cats are ehen it comes to food, treats, etc. I wanted to find something healthier for my current 2 and the price was right to try (if they hadn’t approved would have given to the neighbor cats that have adopted me lol). I am happy to report that my 2 definitely approve of the salmon bites. I put 3 under the creamy they get at night and the plates are clean every time. Helps give the clnightly nummies more substance. (Tonight my boy ate both his and his sister’s completely and looked at me while licking his face when I saw what he had done-Totally unrepentant lol). I will say the sizes do vary somewhat-some pieces are equivalent of ‘double’ length but I just count that as two pieces. Love that these are single ingredient. These would prob work for training depending on the cat. Since I don’t use a lot per day, the price is acceptable for me compared to the temptations and meow mix treats I had been giving them and my cats definitely prefer them. While I was going through the last of the soft meow mix I would put 2 of the salmon and 2 of the soft treats, the soft treats might be left but the salmon never was. The bag and resealable zip are good quality so you can keep them in the original bag. I will say that when you open the bag, you will get the fish smell so just be aware. I definitely recommend trying, if yours don’t agree and you have no neighborhood cats, the price is reasonable enough to donate the bag to a shelter without feeling a big punch to the wallet. I have not tried the other flavors but will prob try the tuna as well at some point
