I wasn’t sure if my cats would eat these because they didn’t like dehydrated shrimp but they love these little fishies! I felt like a rock star with a bunch of groupies. My new kittens (who have been a bit aloof so far) were climbing all over me to get to these fish. And boy..... do these things stink! Very reminiscent of feeding fish to seals at Sea World. I had to put the bag inside a ziplock to keep the cats from smelling them and hide them on a high shelf. I will definitely buy more of these!!

I purchased these for Ace, and aging dog at our barn. He came and stayed about four years ago. He is a scruffy remarkable fellow who will gently bring you an injured bird, or fiercely protect our horses from snakes. He is quite old now, a little deaf and moves slowly. He loves these treats (the barn cats do to), so I make sure they are on hand for him.

My first time, buying this, brought specifically for , training or spoils. At first Birdie, just rubbed up against, the fish in my hand. I thought I made, a mistake in buying. But when I put, it on the floor, she went after it and scarfed it down. So happy, with purchasing. I'mma buy more and for now save in wishlist.

I was a little skeptical at first because other brands of freeze dried minnows are so small but these, these bad boys are HUGE! My cats love these guys SO much! Definitely their favorite treats in the world, THANK YOU VITAL ESSENTIALS!!

We were a little unsure when we first got these, given that our cat has a rather small mouth that he's not the greatest at using for the consumption of food, and these are larger than anything we've fed him before - but those concerns evaporated in seconds, because the cat adores these. They shot straight to the top of his Favorite Treats list (even beating out the tiny shrimp from the same brand, which were the previous number one) and now all we have to do is say "minnows!" in the sing-song "treat voice" to have him running for the kitchen from wherever he is. They seem to be exactly what they say on the package: minnows, freeze dried. You can hear the crunch when the cat chomps on them, We were a little unsure when we first got these, given that our cat has a rather small mouth that he's not the greatest at using for the consumption of food, and these are larger than anything we've fed him before - but those concerns evaporated in seconds, because the cat adores these.

You can hear the crunch when the cat chomps on them, and he seems to find that more satisfying than the usual hard/soft treat crunch (probably because this really is what prey would feel like, just a little more desiccated). We like the fact that there's nothing else in there as filler...he likes the fact that he gets to gobble down tiny fishes. Plus, no crumbs left over! It's a win-win. … more

I bought these for my fish loving cats. They are whole freeze dried fish. Little bit of a fishy smell when first opening the bag. No surprise there. Out of 11 cats, only 2 were not as turned on for these as the freeze dried hearts I bought from the same company. The other 9 will actually try to steal the minnows from each other. Side benefit: a great belly laugh for me.

These are straight-up freeze-dried fish, and they smell like you'd expect. We have four cats and a dog. Out of the cats, one doesn't really like any treats, so I never expected him to be excited about these, and he's not. One typically likes all treats, but doesn't like these, which is weird. However, the other two cats and the dog are coo-coo-crazy for these. If I let them, they would each mow through a whole bag in one sitting.

I have two "teenaged" kittens, a 10-yr old cat, and a dog. They all like these minnows. And one of the kittens sometimes likes to bat it around a bit before eating, so it's a fun snack! In reading the negative reviews of this product, I would like to mention that YOUR cat not liking fish does not mean this is a bad product.

Not a dinner but a great treat. My kitty loves these more than any other treat he’s ever had. He quickly learned what “Want a minnow?” means! I think it taps into something wild in him. He really attacks like he thinks they may get away.

My kitties recieved these in a condolence package when their furry brother crossed the Rainbow Bridge. They have an incredible human Auntie that sent them. They absolutely loved them and I will definitely be buying lot's more.
