I have a very picky eater. When I was at a training session and my dog went crazy for dried octopus someone else brought in, I thought I'd give these a try. No go. She wouldn't even give them a taste. They wound up being put in the bird feeder and even then it took several days for them to be consumed. Might be okay for others, but not my picky girl. Also, have to admit I find them kind of gross to handle.

My senior cat with dental problems likes her feline vita essentials minnows, so i wanted to try the larger bag especially after reading that other people purchased it for their cats. They are the same product except i noticed that the minnows are a little tougher and harder than the feline minnows. my cat didn't complain about the smell or taste of it as she ate it fine, but she seemed to have a little harder time chewing it easily. The feline ones were soft and had a little crunch, these are harder and curled up a little. I think i will go back to the feline bags.

My dogs absolutely LOVE these! We first found out about them when someone gifted us the VE Freeze Dried Minnows for cats. My dogs loved them despite what the label said. They will run ahead to the traditional treat spot when I ask if they want a fishy. When shopping for more, I found these. They are a little bigger than the ones packaged for cats, but that is good. You also get more per package for your dollar buying these. Go ahead and give them a shot for your dog, they may love them as much as mine.

Our basset hound loves these! He gets so excited when he hears the bag open. It can even wake him up and get him moving which is usually a chore in itself, but something about these little fish work for him. Tried other items from this brand, but the minnows has had the best reaction.

I’ll be honest, I bought these on accident because only one of my cats like these. This particular brand offers separate bag sizes for either canine or feline exclusively. Dogs tend to be bigger so the bag sizes for dogs are bigger and the treats tend to be a little bigger as well. But a good eye will know how much your cat should have within a single day. I have to say I enjoy the size of both bag and treats, as these are one of the few treats my older cat enjoys chewing, and has no problem breaking up the size, which is a HUGE plus since these promote good oral health.

My small-breed dogs can be a bit picky about their treats and food, but after a very brief moment of doubt, they decided these were awesome! It felt a bit strange to me to hand them these tiny whole dried fish, but they didn't care at all, lol. Would definitely buy again, but they are a bit pricey for the size of the bag; if you give treats very infrequently or you have just one (small) doggo to treat, I recommend these. And P.S., my cats were more than a little interested in them too.

I have a 12 year old Pomeranian that recently got diagnosed with diabetes. His entire diet had to be changed and all treat were a no. We were able to find this treats that are approved by his vet. 100% fish, so no glucose issues. And he loves them.

Our brand new 7-week-old Goldendoodle puppy has been very picky the last 2 days since he came to live with us. He has refused ALL treats (I may have gone overboard preparing for him and ordered way too many) except for these and some other VE varieties. They don’t smell, they’re not messy, and I love that they’re healthy single-ingredient treats I can feel good about giving him. My kids were a little freaked out since these are little dead fish, but they got used to it. Definitely try these if you have a picky eater!

My foster pup LOVES these and will do anything for them. I bring them on walks and they are great for distracting. And they don't stink like fishy. :-)
