They are stinky, but my 2 huskies absolutely love them

If your dog doesn't eat minnows, get on it. This is our primary treat for our dog. He loves them! Great for his skin and fur.

Excellent taste and quality but twice the price of Plato Baltic Sea Sprat which you also carry. My dogs like both enormously.

I like to use this treats for training agility. They are small and easy to eat and the dogs love the taste.

I buy these for my cats, who absolutely love them. Their coat is super soft and shiny as well. The dogs love them too, but they’re great for cats. I’ve ordered the smaller ones for cats, but they tend to disintegrate in the bag.

If you have a small dog that eats a relatively small amount of snacks at a time, I suggest that you vacuum seal the snacks in a separate bag. My dog loves to eat VE snacks. But the two times he ate dried fish, he vomited. I don't know if the dried fish is not fresh for a long time.

Perfect fresh treats! I always look for high protein/minimally processed treats for my puppy and it's hard to find ones that don't have a horrid smell. These surprisingly don't have a strong smell! (but strong enough to get my puppy's attention). A bit pricy, but worth it!

I bought these as a special treat for my cat. He LOVES them. SOOOO much better than the cheaper brands. These fish arrive whole every time and they are larger actual minnows not teeny tiny things. I gave one to my dog and he sucked on it and spit it out (guess he doesn't like fish) but my cat rushed in to eat it before I could pick it up and throw it away. Zero smell to the fish. My cats coat has become softer and more shiny since hes been eating these. Just wish they werent so expensive, but you have to pay for quality. I have autoship for these as my cat loves them so much! He sees me enter the room they are in and he comes running hoping he will get one!

My picky dog loves these freeze dried minnows! High value training treat and I add them to his food when he doesn’t feel like eating and he eats it right up. I really love this brand.

I have an exceptionally NON-food driven puppy who historically turned her nose up at anything we offered her, both as meals and training treats. I swear we tried everything!!! At 6 months of age we finally found these freeze dried minnows that are a turning point. She loves them and will do anything we ask of her in an effort to get some. These minnows are whole fish. This is important because there is another brand you can find at the local big retail pet store and that brand is all bits and pieces and not particularly easy (or appealing) to hand out as a treat. One other huge plus is that these minnows are 100% natural with nothing added in. The Vital Essentials brand are perfect.
