My mini Aussie, Kye, LOVES these Minnows! They smell fishy and the odor can be strong but it is so worth it! He loves working for them! If I am being honest, I did not think he would like these. He usually does not like fish tasting things (depends on the brand) but he actually loves these! I love that it has only MINNOWS as the ingredients. Limited ingredients is usually how I shop for my boy. I want him in top shape 100% of the time. These spice up dinner time and he actually picks them over his Orijen fish kibble. It changes up dinner and they are great treats for working, training, and if you just wanna give your baby a treat.

Yes, I realize these are packaged for dogs, but looking at the ingredients and nutrition info...they are identical. I bought these for my cats thinking they would love them. What cat doesn't like fish, right? Not mine, apparently All they wanted to do with the minnows, was lick them and bat them around like little mouse toys. I think my cats are broken!

I give one minnow to each of my pups before they go into their crates at bedtime. As soon as I open the bag, the 10 week old jumps in her crate and looks at me expectantly. The older ones takes some coaxing but I place treat near his Nose and lead him in. They are perfect bite size treats. The smallest pieces I’ve seen are about 1 inch long and the largest pieces I’ve seen are about 1.75 inches.

I know this says for dogs but, I bought these for my cats because my kitty loved the ones for cats. I thought this would be a way to save money and get more for the "buck" but, now he doesn't like them. Their not as weird as you might think and actually are like sardines if you think about it just dried out and not in oil or mustard.

....reads the label on the treat jar where I keep these. Directions: 1) Toss a single fish across the room. 2) Your cat (or dog) will delight in chasing and devouring. Crunchy! I buy the “dog” size fish because it’s cheaper than the “cat” size. Both my cat and my 166 lb. Great Dane love this food game.

Bought these to try, and my cat loves them. I bought the one's for dogs because the minnow are slightly larger and they are in a bigger size bag, so better bang for my buck. Also bought some of the other Vita Essentials treats. They're a winner at our house!

Essentially the exact same product in a larger and more economical pouch than the Cat Treat version of this bag. Out of 4 cats, one of mine goes absolutely BONKERS over these freeze-dried minnows while the other 3 turn their nose up in cat-perfected disdain. :)

My dogs love dried sardines and when I could not find them in my area we tried these. They smell a lot and my doodle will not go near them. My terrier eats anything so she gets the rest of them. Glad I only bought a small bag.

For rewarding, I always gave her the usual peanut crunches or blueberry treats which are fine, but try switching to dried seafood & you'll be surprised by the perking up of your pet. She loves these tiny fish!

I am a dog sitter, and I have to admit that my first reaction to these treats when I heard about them at a pet nutrition class was severe skepticism. (Who wants to handle some yucky fish??) But these are dry treats, AND the dogs LOVE them. I've read some reviews where people claim their dog doesn't like them, and I have to say I think your dog just doesn't understand this is food. I have only found 1 of my clients (an older small breed) who did not immediately like it. Most of the time a new dog will watch the other dogs eat the treat and then I offer it to them. Sometimes they gobble it right up, sometimes they drop it and try to roll on it, BUT after they get used to it, EVERYBODY loves I am a dog sitter, and I have to admit that my first reaction to these treats when I heard about them at a pet nutrition class was severe skepticism.
