Oh boy, I'll do almost anything for these

I'm not too picky when it comes to treats, but my world changed when my human fed me these. They're so tasty and I'll do almost anything for them...almost anything. I think my human likes that they're single ingredient and not messy, but they do have a strong smell if you're averse to fish- not me! I love them. My human likes to break each fish up into 3 pieces- come on, why not just give me the whole fish?? Anyways, love these. Keep them coming!

"MINNOW!!!!!"

All I have to say is "Minnow!" and Devo comes a running! He is bonkers about these. Treat your dog to something different and scrumptious rather than the same old, boring, mundane treat!! Dogs need variety and deserve to have tasty alternatives!

other better options available

I bought two brands to compare. No question, Plato pet treat brand dominates the minnow treats. The Vita Essential brand 1oz (smaller dustier) minnows $10 vs Plato 3oz (bigger whole minnows) $5 I would not recommend this brand over others. However, if VE were the only brand of freeze dried minnows available, I would purchase them for my dogs.

Great treats!

My brussels griffon loves these! Our older dog likes them, and one of the cats eats them but the other says no way. They are all fans of the VitaEssentials freeze dried chicken powder, so I was hoping for success with the minnows. Very happy with this purchase. The size is just right for tasty treat for a small dog. They break easily too for little training bits.

My dog and Cat go crazy for these

My pets love these. They are like little fish chips. My only complaint is the amount that is in the bag. I know how much small fish/feeder fish cost at the store, I can’t imagine that a bag of freeze dried fish could cost this much for so little.

Holy grail treat in our house!

My dogs and cats love these minnows! They won't eat any other treat except these! Highly quality ingredients and it's fresh for them to eat. Love these freeze dried minnows and have been buying them for years. Highly recommend to everyone especially if you have cats or kittens.

Quality treats

These are great treats for a dog and to bring on walks. They don't crumble in a bag, they can be easily broken into parts (my dog will excitedly eat a minnow head when offered) and they're easily digestible.

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

Freeze dry minnows

My corgis were not so sure as I gave them this new treat....but they now love them. I'll buy more as we get l9w. It's a healthy treat I feel good about giving my corgis.

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!
