Variety for Long Life

I am blessed to have two small terriers who embrace a wide variety of recall-free brands and flavors, including this one. I serve a different one at each meal as we cycle through 20+ varieties every week. I believe that this helps reduce risk of nutrient deficiency or possible toxic overload from any one source.

Dogs love them

Our Rescue dogs at the shelter and my personal dogs love them!! Older dogs find them easy to chew. Good ingredients. Will buy again.

Not what I expected

I was super excited about this product, because my 10lbs miniature poodle is super picky. But instead of mini patties, I received only broken pieces and dust. See pics, and the bottom of bag is only dust. I’m disappointed, because with the patties it would be easy to portion his food. He likes it tho, and I love the ingredients. I’m just hoping I got a bad smashed batch, because I would order it again. Hoping the next purchase gonna be more patties and less dust..

Raw key review

Mia loves all the flavors of the raw diet. Her fur is so soft and shiny Spence she has been on this diet. She has more energy. I wish I had started her on this diet sooner!

Awesome for picky eater

I am amazed! It looks and feels awful BUT he loves it!. I am mixing it with regular (which he is not good at eating) and wow. He hasn't eaten like this in months! Have to be careful, so much energy and I am not used to it!

Dog and Mom approved

Great stuff and dogs love all VE please make larger bags for big dogs and the price should be lower so that people can afford good nutrition for their dogs. Otherwise this would be a 5 star!! I hope the company reads these messages

another hit at meal time

My baby loves this flavor like many of the other Vital Essentials lines. I’m giving it a 5 star rating not because she gobbles it up (since that’s an individual dog preference) but because I think they have gold quality foods and I can pronounce and trust all the ingredients. I like that nothing is sourced from China.

yum in da yum

My dad bought this for me since I’m a very picky pup! I like freeze dried raw, I’ll eat it easily. If it was kibble I’d smell it and walk away. But when I smell this freeze dried goodie I eat it up. I don’t like it rehydrates. My dad breaks the patties into four pieces and I eat it up, it also makes is easy for my mommy when she has to feed me. She no longer has to add cheese to the food. So this is a bark worthy goodie and I’d suggest that you guys also tell your moms and dads to get it for you. I also like this in the duck and beef.

Just OK, No Great

My pup will eat these if nothing else available. He prefers Stella & Chewy to this.
