My boys weren’t a fan

One of the bags that I received was filled with ants, but I did try to feed my boys the other ones and they would take the treat from me and then begin to try and roll in it. After me telling them to stop trying to roll in and they did decide to eat them but overall weren’t a fan though I’m sure some dogs love them

His FAVORITE treat!

My friend, meeting my 7 mos old puppy for the first time, brought these as gift, says his 3 yr old German Shepard loves them. Baxter LOVES them and will do ANYTHING to get them! All I have to say is "Minnow" and he runs through all his commands as fast as he can so he can get one! I have to save them for his high value reward treat during training otherwise he jumps all over me to get them. I was a little freaked out handling them but I snap them in half IN the bag so they last twice as long and I don't have to see the whole little fishy. My friend raves about all VE products, now I have them on auto ship!

Best Treats Ever

Dog or cat...these treats are the best. Can be crunched up and used as a food topper or mixed in for picky eaters. My pup LOVES them right out of the bag. Easy on the digestion and if my pup is any indication, they taste great!

both of my dogs and cat hated these unfortunately

I don’t have any complaints other than to say that both my dogs hated these and spit them out immediately and my cat wanted nothing to do with them. I don’t recommend them if your pets aren’t use to a strong fishy smell or taste.

My dog loves these

This makes a great natural training treat or topper for a meal. Its just the right size for a training treat and it's a miniature fish, all different sizes, some small, some bigger. My dog LOVES these. Smells really fishy but that's good!! I'll pay extra for quality (and this is very reasonably priced and lasts fairly long) and I'm very pleased with these. My GSD LOVES these...she's a fish girl and can't get enough of fish food, treats, everything fish.

Perfect single-ingredient treat!

Both of my dogs love these minnows! My younger dog is battling with IBD and a very sensitive stomach and allergy issues. He allergic to beef and many dog treats are made from beef. This is a great alternative to dogs with allergies. The minnows are small and the perfect bite-sized pieces. These single-ingredient treats are easy for my dog to digest with no issues!

High Value Treat

My dog goes crazy for this treat! It's been so great using it as a high value treat when training her recall. I am also happy because it's a single ingredient and healthy/nutritious for her as long as given in moderation. Since she's a smaller dog, I can break up the minnow into smaller pieces. Definitely recommend!

Perfect for turtles, too!

It's surprisingly hard to find dried freshwater minnows of good size and quality for turtles. This brand is everything I was looking for, and the larger bags for dogs are a great deal.

favorite treats!

My puppy would not eat any treats until I got this. Which was making training him a huge PAIN! I even like to break it in pieces and sprinkle it over his food since his teeth are still growing in, and he’s been eating his food way more now!

He likes it!

I have a very picky Shorkie who is 1 year old. So picky that today he will eat this but won’t eat it again tomorrow. Yes he’s spoiled, he’s an only child. At first he was hesitate to try these but once he did he loved them. I was uneasy purchasing them because they look creepy to me. But since he likes it and it’s healthier than other snacks he’s had, I’ll keep buying them.
