Questions & Answers

5 Customer Questions

Does Vital Essentials dried duck liver contain iodine?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 07, 2018
Duck liver or any liver in general will contain iodine. At this time the manufacturer does not have data to support how much Iodine would be contained in this particular liver.

Are these treats soft?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 13, 2022
These treats are semi-firm and can be broken into smaller bits, if wanted.

what’s the phosphorus on a dry matter basis?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 09, 2023
The manufacturer does not measure this treat for phosphorus content as they are not intended as a complete and balanced meal.

How many carbs are in these treats?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 05, 2022
The manufacturer does not measure this treat for carbohydrate content as they are not intended as a complete and balanced meal.

Wouldn't waste money again on this.

I bought these for my ginger girl. These do come very smashed, but I don't think my cat cared about that. Nipsey wouldn't touch these at all and that's fine, because I took them to the barn kitties a few houses down : / they wouldn't touch them either & I've watched those cats eat some questionable things. They eat everything....except these duck treats. It shocked me as I've never seen those barn cats collectively turn down food. I wouldn't recommend.

Natural ingredients without all the fillers

Both of my fur babies love these treats. I think the texture and smell are better than other flavors. Highly recommend for an occasional treat. Small bites, easy

Simple high quality single ingredient product. Perfect size to sprinkle in a few pieces every few meals to boost my cats' protein levels. Will buy more! Watch some of their other products as they are not all single ingredient since they contain preservatives.

My cat's hated these....

None of the cats would touch these treats. We had freeze dried tuna, and they loved it, so I thought I would try Duck Liver. They smelled it and walked away.

More crumbs than morsels...

Well, as title states, we received our order and the bag contained more crumbs/ very very small pieces than the usual morsels. Our girl still eats them and doesn't

Well, as title states, we received our order and the bag contained more crumbs/ very very small pieces than the usual morsels. Our girl still eats them and doesn't have any allergic reactions so that's why it gets 3 stars this time around. Wish Chewy had a policy to put more padding between items in the same box, always getting some kind of damage or inconvenience...

My cat is obsessed

He’s been trying to look for the treats for the last 20 minutes. I’m afraid it’s created an addiction and he’s having withdrawals

The size

The cats could hardly wait for me to open the package. They devoured them. They were not happy when I ran out.

Not her favorite,

Usually my cat likes the Vital Essentials products and she loves organ meat but the duck liver wasn’t one of them. Nice size for a treat or topper.

Obsessed

My cat isn’t particularly picky when it comes to treats but just after one of these he was hooked I could shake or crumple the bag and he came running
