Vital Essentials Minnows Freeze-Dried Dog Treats, 1-oz bag

Since my dog's ancestors helped fishermen herd fish, retrieve nets, etc., eating fish is in her blood, so I like to get seafood treats for her (she does get meat treats, too, of course). I knew she would love these whole minnows - and she does! I find it a fascinating snack for her, eyes and all, that might gross some people out, but I think it's cool. The bag says that it is best if consumed within a month of opening, so if you're buying a lot of treats (like for your dog's birthday, as I did for this order), do be aware of this and plan to maybe not open some of the other treats when you have this one open so you can finish it within the month. I will definitely be buying these for her Since my dog's ancestors helped fishermen herd fish, retrieve nets, etc., eating fish is in her blood, so I like to get seafood treats for her (she does get meat treats, too, of course).

We got a bag from a neighbor for our kitties and THEY LOVED them. They are so popular that I bought this bigger bag for "dogs." It's the exact same thing that they sell for cats but in a larger bag. If you want to buy your cat(s) a healthy special treat I definitely recommend the Minnows.

Our husky puppy wasn’t sure what to do with the fish at first, but once she figured it out this is her treat of choice! Love that this has no other ingredients than minnow. A treat you can feel good about giving your animal (our cat demands a minnow as well)

My dog loves these! If you don't mind handling tiny, freeze dried fish, these are a great treat to try. I would recommend for smaller or medium sized dogs, since the biggest minnows are only about an inch and a half long.

Dogs love them them UP...mostly. OR, they delicately take the minnow and then spit it out and roll on it. Funny. Mostly they gobble them up! Great novel treat for working dogs. Dry and crunchy and easily broken up for training.

My Sheltie would not touch these out of the bag. He eats freeze dried dog food, so I added these to his food, and he scarfed them down. I don't think he even noticed, he's a chow hound. I asked the question if the minnows had any Omega 3 content, and got an indirect answer about how nutritious they were. Not impressed, won't be buying these again.

My 5 dogs love treats of all kinds. They like these minnows but I can tell they enjoy other treats a lot more. It is nice to see a healthy, single ingredient dog treat though.

My dog loves anything fishy so I thought I would buy a bag of these to try and she loves them! I use them mostly for training since she will literally do anything to get one.

I buy this for my cats since it is a larger bag. Only a hit with 2. But I will continue to buy since the oldest 19 year old girl loves them. One ingredient is great.

These are so weird because they almost look like lures, but my dog loves them. The best part is that they are so low in calories that my dog can have several, and I don’t have to feel guilty.
