Food

12 paws up from my pack. I feed my dogs kibble and home cooked food. I give this with their cooked food. Cooking for 3 large dogs is A LOT so I like to add this

12 paws up from my pack. I feed my dogs kibble and home cooked food. I give this with their cooked food. Cooking for 3 large dogs is A LOT so I like to add this to make them think they’re getting more special stuff. My golden boy is extremely picky but he eats this. I’m always thrilled when I find out he approves it. They’re a good size for a single treat. I’d say they’re like the milk bone hot dog treat in size but softer. I’ll definitely get it again and/or try the other flavors.

Highly recommend

I use this freeze fried along with a plant base kibble. It’s a perfect combination. VE causes constipation and Earth Animal causes the stool to be somewhat soft

I use this freeze fried along with a plant base kibble. It’s a perfect combination. VE causes constipation and Earth Animal causes the stool to be somewhat soft. No fuss, so easy.

She LOVES it

Emy is an extremely picky eater. I use this as a topper. She could eat a bowl of this but it’s too expensive!

"Pork with bone" is number #1 ingredient

I have mixed feelings about this product. My dog seems to really like it. In fact, the first time I gave it to him was as a supplement to his food, in dry form

I have mixed feelings about this product. My dog seems to really like it. In fact, the first time I gave it to him was as a supplement to his food, in dry form. He licked his bowl for a long time after he finished. The second time I fed it to my dog, I rehydrated it and felt something really hard in my fingers as I was breaking up the pellets. I pulled out what looked to be small pieces of bone. After looking at the ingredients, I realized that the first ingredient was "pork with bone." I added water, as instructed, and the pieces seemed to soften, but I ended up picking the bone pieces out before feeding it to my dog.

Good Quality food

This is a good quality food but my fussy girl will only eat it once in awhile. Just her no reflection on the food.

Dogs love it

My 14-year-old picky eater didn't want to be bothered to eat his regular food. I tried this to change things up and he eats every bite.

He likes em!

Mickey likes most of the Vital Essentials but he’s very fussy and we have to vary his choices. The pork nuggets we use as a topper because he likes them.
