Questions & Answers

18 Customer Questions

Can these be sprinkled over food for extra protein or do the morsels need to be dehydrated in water?

Answer by Evendozen • Aug 23, 2022
They're great sprinkled over food! My cats eagerly ate food they had previously rejected once I crushed the treats with my fingers.

Is this raw or cooked chicken?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 21, 2021
This human grade, FDA inspected, all white breast meat is carefully sliced into strips. The strips are then fully cooked to eliminate any possible bacteria and then perfectly freeze dried without the use of chemicals, additives or preservatives.

Does the meat come from chickens raised in the USA?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 09, 2020
All of the Life Essentials meat products are sourced from small farms in Oregon, USA.

How long is the shelf life after opening?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 31, 2018
When stored in a cool, dry place this product stays fresh after 1 year of opening. Every expiration date will be different for each bag, as different batches are constantly being produced. The expiration date will be stamped on the back of the bag.

I'm starting finding more hard pieces in the Cat-Man-Doo Life Essentials freeze dried chicken package. And not just small pieces, I'm finding large pieces that are very hard and I cannot feed to my cat. this is very disappointing and I hope they are looking into this issue otherwise I will not purchase this product anymore after many many years of enjoyment for my cat.

Because Chewy still insists upon using FedEx, and not breaking up shipments with both very heavy items and very delicate items, these would arrive destroyed. Every single time. So I stopped ordering them from Chewy and now get them elsewhere. But if you’re placing a small/lightweight order with Chewy, you’ll probably be safe. And these are HANDS DOWN the BEST freeze dried chicken pieces I’ve ever bought. And I’ve tried many brands. The pieces are large, to the point where I can break one piece into 3 small treats. They’re expensive, and the quality does support a higher price, but when you have more than 1 or 2 kitties, these aren’t easily integrated into a routine. Because of the price. But when I do splurge and buy a bag of these, all 7 cats (including one who is notoriously weird/picky about treats) go NUTS for these. Highly recommend

this is the highest reward in my home, for both cats and dogs. I call them the “great equalizer” as they are the only treat I can feed the cats and dogs at the same time in a little pow wow circle. Highly suggest getting these.

It’s their favorite treat!

Both of my cats come into the room and just stare at the bag - then at me - then the bag, etc. until I give them each a piece or two.

My cats will not eat these.

So sorry to say, but I’ve had these on AutoShip for a while and my cats just don’t like them. I love chewy service, but I will be finding another treat.

I've tried several freeze dried chicken treats, and my cats like this one the best. I crush up little hunks of it and sprinkle it over their dinner. I like that it isn't actually raw, so I don't have to worry about bird flu contamination. Great treats!

While the cats love this, I've stopped buy this from Chewy. The last couple bags we received have been almost 50% dust (I used it to sprinkle on their foods, but still that's not what I bought it for). I started purchasing directly from Cat-Man-Doo and there's hardly any dust. Great product!

Key to Reducing Wet Food Waste

This is a non-negotiable with most of my cat's wet food! He prefers dry kibble so I have to go the extra mile to get him to eat wet food, but it works very well

This is a non-negotiable with most of my cat's wet food! He prefers dry kibble so I have to go the extra mile to get him to eat wet food, but it works very well. I crumble it up with my fingers to use as a meal topper and it doesn't have that greasy feeling other brands have.
