Transition Instructions
Switch to a purely RAW diet slowly. Some pets may take to RAW immediately, while others may take longer. Take at least 10 days to 2 weeks to gradually transition your pet’s diet. This gives the digestive system time to adjust to the new food.
- Step 1: Choose a protein (stick with the same protein for the first 2 weeks)
- Step 2 (Day 1-3): Serve 25% RAW mixed with 75% current food
- Step 3 (Day 4-6): Serve 50% RAW mixed with 50% current food
- Step 4 (Day 7-9): Serve 75% RAW mixed with 25% current food
- Step 5 (Day 10 and after): Serve 100% RAW
Always provide access to clean, fresh water.

My standard poodles eat a raw diet- but sometimes even those following a predator diet need a little coaxing. I add the healthy freeze dried bits to enhance their diet and their appetites. My dogs love both the freeze dried beef and duck- a healthy supplement to their food. This is particularly important during warm weather when the food must be consumed quickly before spoiling, Vital Essentials entices them to finish their meal and adds nutrients to their diet.

This is the only food we feed our 2 toy fox terriers and chihuahua. This product is pure, raw meat with absolutely no fillers or mystery ingredients. Our 3 dogs love all the flavors which we rotate each meal and they dance and whine while I am preparing it for them. They clean their bowls in less than 30 seconds and always want more. While it is a bit pricey, you feed them less and can feel confident they are getting nothing but the best. Two thumbs up!

I've used VE frozen raw and the larger nibs, but had never seen these mini-nibs. They are great for my little dog, I appreciate that Chewy has such a good selection of VE products. Love the company's products for both my cats and my dog.

I love this food for its small bite-sized pieces, its pure and whole food ingredient content, and the company's careful attention to fat / protein ratio. Zoe loves that it tastes good! I have fed it both dry and presoaked in water and she loves it both ways.

My dog would not eat anything else from another big name brand, Primal, so ordered this after going through every flavor of other brand. She loves it. We mix with goat's milk.

I have to be honest I was thinking this would be something different. These are a light weight crunchy food. I was thinking it would soft. When I opened the package it had an old smell but my dogs don't seem to care. They really like it.

VE Mini Nibs are fabulous! They are used as a topping on the raw food I use! They contain everything needed to balance out the raw food! They add that "crunch" to my dogs food bowl! Love them!

I ordered these to use with our "Treat and Train". My only objection is that some of the treats are too large and jam the dispenser. For other training purposes they are great.

My havanese was weaned on a raw diet which I have continued. I use these nibbles which have been cut in halves or thirds as treats. He absolutely loves them.
