Cats like it but there are small pieces of bone

My cats seem to enjoy the taste of this. I use it as a meal topper to add some flavor and extra nutrients to their meals. I have to be careful when sprinkling it on top because there's small bits of hard bone mixed in. My cats have thrown up these pieces so it takes a little time to sift out the bone bits so they don't get into their food bowls.

My dogs just love this kibble topper, they havent had any post digestive problems eating it. My four cats, no surprise, are not impressed, they have eaten it, no digestive problems with them either.

My dog and cat love, love, love this topper

My sister recommended this topper for my picky dog Kira. I was skeptical but went ahead and ordered VitalEssentials, what can I say Kira and my cat Duncan love this topper, plus it's good for them.

Freeze Dried Crumbles

This food is very fine and crumbly. I tried putting on dry food, however it just fell through and just made a mess. Probably better on wet food.

Best topper on the market!

I have been buying these for years and all my dogs and cats love it. My vet recommended it to me and all my pets love eating it on top of their meals. Incredible high quality ingredients to boost the nutrition in their meals and I highly recommend it to everyone. Vital Essentials has the best products!

great stuff for both my dog and cat

My pets absolutely love this. I add just a little spoonful to their wet food once a day for flavoring and some extra benefits. If I don’t add it my dog will give me a look like “you forgot the tasty stuff” lol. The bag has lasted me quite a while too. I definitely recommend this. Since it is a fine powder it would also be easy to add to dry food at well. I like the ease of use and this is a great way to add some of the raw benefits to your pets diet with less risks. You do want to be aware of the potential contamination though since this is a raw product, and make sure you clean their dishes after meals.

Yummy to their tummy.

I have tried a couple other toppers and this has helped. They love mixed in their food.

OK at sale price but...

I bought this on sale and hoped it'd be a good beef option to supplement their wet food. They'll eat it alright as long as it's mixed with wet food, but want nothing to do with it by itself, rehydrated...? Was hoping for a beef option FD like S&C's duck that I can use alone or with other foods.

the solution for my picky 17y.o. cat

As the title suggests, I no longer have trouble finding something for my senior cat to eat. Better still, I know he’s getting a balanced diet. Triple bonus: my other cat has a sensitive tummy plus can’t eat chicken either, and these toppers are all ONE meat! Not a mixture of 2+, which has been the case with a few other limited ingredient pet food products I’ve looked at. I’d give 6 stars if I could because their energy has perked up, and they stay full longer. There is noticeably less between meal begging for snacks!

Just as described

I am happy when a product and picture match what I actually receive! Of course my pets loved this but I am just happier this beef was just as pictured on the site (just like crumbled bacon bits).
