feeding guidelines for a 15 lb Shihtzu
Answer by ChewyJul 03, 2022
For the feeding information you may select the "Feeding Instructions" tab on the product page.

Is it safe to handle the food as a training treat? Washing hands during training not always an option until finished with training. I thinking the HPP process and freeze drying it makes it as safe for handling any dry food?
Answer by ChewyDec 02, 2019
It is recommended to wash hands, utensils, counters, food dishes and related areas thoroughly with hot, soapy water after each feeding.

My dog approves!

I buy the freeze died beef nuggets to use as treats. When hiking my dog off leash, he always comes back for his treats. The amount he has while hiking is part of his daily food intake. Very nice and nutritious product. Would use it more, but it is pricy, which is the reason for only 4 stars.

Awesome

I provide these to my dog for a little extra treat when he eats his meals. He loves them and believe it or not. I think it helps a lot with his bowel movements. He doesn’t poop as much and they are better “quality”. You dog owners will know exactly what I mean!

Freeze dried dog food

What's not to say about vital essentials freeze dried dog kibble. My girl loves it. A little pricey, but for her size it's a topper for her regular food. Great nutrition . The limited ingredients are what attracted me to the product, and it's raw and freeze dried. A home run!

Dog's favorite

I have been purchasing this food for the past 3 years. I give it to my dog as is or sometimes mix with other dry foods. Everything I try something cheaper, I come right back to this healthy alternative. It's healthy and highly recommended.

Beagle Approved!

My 12 month old Beagle, Gracie Mae loves this dog food. I use it for a training treat, a fast meal. I have tried several flavors and she loves all of them. It comes in two sizes, mini bits or regular. The mini would be best for high value treats or small dogs. My beagle weighs 32 pounds, she prefers the larger size. I purchase both sizes mini for training or regular for a fast meal on the go. There is no bad ingredients all meat and organs. It is a little pricey, well worth the money. It is considered raw food diet.

Great for training treats

These nibblets are the perfect size for a special treat or to use as a training aid. My dogs LOVE them! They aren't messy and are easy to travel with if I'm on the go with my pups.
