My cat is obsessed

My cat ADORES this food. Like, it's actually a bit of a problem, because he only wants this and not his wet food (that I add his fiber to) and now he's constipated

My cat ADORES this food. Like, it's actually a bit of a problem, because he only wants this and not his wet food (that I add his fiber to) and now he's constipated. But he still wants to eat this pork! We've had to compromise that he only gets it after he eats his wet food! He'd give it 10 stars!

A favorite

This company introduced my boys to pork and they love it. I enjoy giving them something closer to their natural predator diet with this brand.

A crowd pleaser

We have 5 cats who are all very different and each one has things they like or don't like. My 17 + year old cat is probably the pickiest since she is a grumpy old

We have 5 cats who are all very different and each one has things they like or don't like. My 17 + year old cat is probably the pickiest since she is a grumpy old lady. She LOVES pork products so I jumped at the chance to have her try Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Pork. All 5 cats LOVE this product. I love the big bag and it arrived quickly. We will definitely reorder and recommend to othe cat owners

Nice Meal Supplement

I was really curious how our four cats (with varying levels of pickiness) were going to take to these pellets. Most of the cat food that they have had in the past

I was really curious how our four cats (with varying levels of pickiness) were going to take to these pellets. Most of the cat food that they have had in the past have all been fish or chicken based, so trying out pork was something new! Two out of the four cats really enjoy them as a little meal bonus. I haven’t had a ton of luck with our pickier eaters, but I have not tried crushing them up and mixing with water quite yet (which is a suggested preparation on the bag).

Love it!

I’ve been feeding my cat the Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Pork Entree, and it’s been a total game changer. The first thing I noticed was how clean the ingredient list is—just pork, with no grains, gluten, or unnecessary fillers. It’s raw nutrition made simple, and my cat absolutely loves it. She’s a pretty picky eater, but she took to this immediately. The texture is great—crunchy when dry, or you can rehydrate it for a softer consistency. I’ve been using it both as a complete meal and as a topper to mix things up. Either way, she licks the bowl clean every time. Since switching, I’ve noticed a shinier coat, better digestion, and more consistent energy throughout the day. Plus, her litter box is way more manageable—less odor, firmer stools. That alone is a win.

Nice product but picky eaters

I have 2 cats and couldn’t get either of them to eat these unfortunately I donated them to a neighbor to try with her cat colony. The packaging was nice and resealed

I have 2 cats and couldn’t get either of them to eat these unfortunately I donated them to a neighbor to try with her cat colony. The packaging was nice and resealed well. They are kind of large for a cat to eat but very light almost like styrofoam. They don’t smell awful. Thinking they don’t like pork which is a weird flavor for a cat.

Kitties love it!

Vital Essentials Freeze-dried Raw Pork Entree became a favorite of our cat Kiki with the first taste. We have been giving it to her as a treat. She knows where it’s

Vital Essentials Freeze-dried Raw Pork Entree became a favorite of our cat Kiki with the first taste. We have been giving it to her as a treat. She knows where it’s stored in the kitchen & stands by the drawer meowing. Our daughter tried it with her 2 cats & both also love it. We have not tried moistening it since Kiki gobbles it down dry.

Tasty treats but a bit large for cats

Both of my cats surprisingly like them. Smokey usually will not eat anything that is not poultry but she gobbled these up. Milo who loves pork was also a huge fan

Both of my cats surprisingly like them. Smokey usually will not eat anything that is not poultry but she gobbled these up. Milo who loves pork was also a huge fan of them so they must taste good. They have a nice smell and crumble easily. The only thing I would change is the size. They are quite large to be for cats and they have to be broken into piece or crumbled before given.

Good raw treats.

A nice food topper or treat, not really a solo pet food. Both of my cats are crazy for these, even the pickier one who seems to always turn his nose away from treats

A nice food topper or treat, not really a solo pet food. Both of my cats are crazy for these, even the pickier one who seems to always turn his nose away from treats that aren't bad for him. I crumble the pieces up as they're a bit big for me to comfortably feed as is, but they're super soft so it's barely even an extra step. Worth a shot if you want some high reward treats or enticing food toppers.
