Questions & Answers

7 Customer Questions

Does this contain taurine?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 08, 2026
Taurine is an amino acid that is naturally abundant in meat. Since Vital Essential diets are made with more than 95% meat, the food contains well over the minimum required amount of taurine for cats.

How many patties in the bag?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 17, 2025
The 3.75 oz bags contain about 7 patties, the 8 oz bags contain about 15 patties, and the 15 oz bags contain about 28 patties. Keep in mind that the exact number of patties per bag will vary, since these are filled by weight rather than quantity.

Is the rabbit entree bone-free? What is the phosphorus content (dry matter)?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 26, 2025
This recipe has a phosphorus content of 0.90% on a dry matter basis. All of Vital Essentials' entrées include bone within the recipe.

What is the carbohydrate content?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 20, 2025
The manufacturer has confirmed that since there are no plant ingredients this recipe, the carbohydrate level is functionally zero.

IBD Kitty Loves Rabbit, One Concern

Abby is a IBD kitty with numerous allergies and food sensitivities. She has been battling chronic diarrhea for 2 years. She loves the freeze dried rabbit! I was very happy to find a food with no grains or additives. Abby's stool quality has improved somewhat over the last 2 weeks. My only concern are the bone fragments with sharp edges. I have to crumble the biscuits feeling for bone fragments, add water and warm the food. Some fragments have sharp edges which could cause internal damage to a cat with an impaired digestive system. After the bone fragments are removed, great food for my IBD kitty.

I bought this because it’s pure rabbit, nothing else. My 15 lb mini-panther loves it as a component in the “soup” I make for him at mealtimes (wet food, the rabbit and some water). I crumble a bit on top and mix it all together while he screams with impatience. The second it hits the floor he gobbles it down and screams for seconds. Other reviews have mentioned finding chunks of bone in their patties, but I have yet to find any myself. It’s pricey, but since I only use it as a topper and use only a little each day I can manage it. Highly recommend this product!

My cat loves these! She goes crazy when I open the bag. The patties are quite large (4-5" square) but they're also very light, so the 15oz holds a lot of them. And, since my cat is tiny, I break these into pieces for her to munch on, so one patty stretches into multiple snacks. Great product.

Garfield jumps on the kitchen counter every morning waiting for his rabbit meal. I break it up into little pieces because he loves rabbit so much and I’m afraid he may choke if in larger chunks. Sometimes he purrs just before eating this. I give him measured amounts because it’s expensive and I keep buying this because he demands it. Love my ginger boy.

She loves these - I don't love the bones

My toothless wonder loves these shredded and with water added. I don't love having to shred them to get rid of the bones. BUT I do love the limited ingredients

My toothless wonder loves these shredded and with water added. I don't love having to shred them to get rid of the bones. BUT I do love the limited ingredients and the fact that she LOVES this food. I don't love how expensive they are.

Quality

Problem--she threw it up after giving her only 1/3 piece of the patty. Haven't tried again and I don't know what to do

My cat, Baby loves rabbit and I love giving it to her. It's hilarious when I open the package because her meow changes from "it's my snack time" to "if you don't hurry I may die". Absolutely hilarious!

My cat used to LOVE these rabbit patties. They actually smelled like real rabbit as well along with the noticeable bones and such inside when we would break it apart. This last shipment, the patties smelled like chemicals and my cat would NOT eat them. I'm not sure what they changed in the recipe but, I noticed the smell, color, and texture difference .. and so did my cat. What a waste of money since we bought 2 bags.
