Review: My kitty has been raw fed since she was 6 months. She is very food motivated and has a vast palate. She loves to chew stuff. I think this makes a perfect snack/chew toy/tooth brush. Depending on the size she gets half or 1/3 of it almost every day as a lunch snack. I put the left over in the fridge. I love that it is a good mental and physical stimulant. She was getting some build up on her back teeth and while I do my best to brush her teeth sometimes and add a tooth powder to her food I feel introducing these regularly has been the most helpful in scraping crud off her back molars! I never give her without supervision though because their are stringy parts and it can be a choking hazard for the smaller fur babies. On most of the necks once she gets down to the thick end nub it just becomes a mess of bone and sludge that she struggles to get through and sometimes tries to take it down whole and on a few attempts has choked a bit and thrown it back up. Again if she were a dog or much bigger cat it might. It be as much of an issue but still watch your pet! Also because of how dry they are I always try to encourage my kitty to drink water after.
Review: Mon chien adore mais la quantité versus le prix a fait qu'après deux commandes je me suis mis a la recherche d'une friandise a ronger qui dure plus longtemps. Peux être pour un chien moins gourmand que mon pug.

## 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.

*by D***B on 30 December 2025*

We use these as the "special treat" for our dog. He LOVES them. No digestive issues, good size treats so it takes us awhile to go though them - some freeze dried liver treats are BIG chunks that are actually difficult for our rat terrier mix to chew through. At $6 a bag, this a good value for us. This is a good size bag for us too so we don't have to worry about transferring treats to another bag or transporting a large bag when we go somewhere.
