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 bought these on a dare not knowing if he'd like dried fish. He DOES! Vital Essentials Minnows Freeze-Dried Treats are nutritious and fairly low calorie and easy for him as a Senior to chew.

My puppy loves this. He do everything for them. So far best training treats

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.

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 cat absolute loves these! She will even sit for them!

Vital Essentials makes great one ingredient treats. Both my poodle and schnoodle love these. Can be torn in half too which makes my tiny dog with no teeth easier to eat. They have no smell. These are expensive but my dogs love them. Recommend highly.

my cat goes absolutely nuts for these treats. i love how they have no additives and dont stink at all either. these are the perfect treat!!

OMG!!! Talk about snack craze time! My dogs (Boxer/hound mix & Lab/Shepherd mix) and cat are all about these little minnows!!! Sit, stay, come.. all included with drool… lol I was skeptical, but they love them!!!

My Huskie loves these. They are whole small fish.I've been very happy with the quality.
