Dogs love them, but they crumble in the bag

I have been buying these for a few years for my dog who has allergies, and he likes them, but it would be easier to feed them to him if they stayed in the square

I have been buying these for a few years for my dog who has allergies, and he likes them, but it would be easier to feed them to him if they stayed in the square patty shape. The bag tends to have a few patties that stay together, and most of the rest of the bag is corners or crumbs.

poor packaging

you are putting too much product in a box. the box is always very compromised when it arrives. freeze dried patties are nothing more than powder because of the crushing

you are putting too much product in a box. the box is always very compromised when it arrives. freeze dried patties are nothing more than powder because of the crushing weight. even canned food is getting crushed to the point of popping open. please stop over packing boxes before i am forced to shop elsewhere.

Bone Shards

This product has to be removed. Too many customers are finding dangerously sharp bone shards. This isn’t something we’ve ever had a problem with in any of the other

This product has to be removed. Too many customers are finding dangerously sharp bone shards. This isn’t something we’ve ever had a problem with in any of the other vital essential products, though we usually get protein toppers and duck throats. I’m very disappointed in Chewy for not listening to several customers, and Vital Essentials for their quality.

The first time I got these it was by mistake. I was supposed to get the mini nibs not the paddies. But much to my surprise my dogs loved these. I just put the whole paddy down on their dish along side fresh raw. They always go for these first. I feed on a flat feeder with a lick pad and groves that I mash the raw into.
