Questions & Answers

20 Customer Questions

My cat is horribly allergic to ANY fowl. Is there ANY fowl in this at all?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 18, 2018
These Treats do not contain any fowl. The Ingredients are: Rabbit, Rabbit Liver, Rabbit Kidney and Rabbit Heart.

Ingredient says rabbit. Is this rabbit meat with bones or boneless rabbit? My cat loves rabbit but he can’t eat bones.

Answer by Chewy • Apr 16, 2019
This treat is made with raw meat, bones, and whole organs.

Are these moist like the giblets treats or dry like the chicken breast treats?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 12, 2018
These treats have a dry, easy-to-crumble texture.

Are these cat treats the same product as the rabbit dog treats?

Answer by Chewy • Feb 18, 2021
These treats are formulated for cats while the vital essentials rabbit bites freeze-dried raw dog treats are formulated especially for dogs of all breeds and sizes.

Good Stuff!

Only 2/5 of my cats like these, and funny enough it’s my 2 young ones that also were feral when we first adopted them. The other 3 are older and picky so I don’t take it personally when they don’t like something. It’s actually better so the younger 2 can enjoy these without getting swarmed lol. A bit pricey but I’ll continue to buy because I appreciate the simple ingredients and quality!

The description said they were soft or at least some term that was supposed to be not crunchy and they are hard as rocks. I have a cat with no teeth because of an illness and I now have to soak them in water I would not have bought them if the description had been correct, or maybe they are stale?

We have a special needs cat with IBD. She can’t have any foods with chicken. So what she gets to eat, is what the other cat gets to eat. So far we have only been able to find one treat with the right ingredients that they like. That happens to be the Stella and Chewy’s Duck Duck Goose Recipe. We tried these Vital freeze dried rabbit bites in the hope of giving them another option. No such luck. Neither cat is interested in them at all. They actually have not liked any of the 3 Vitals freeze dried treats we have tried. They may be great, but not for our cats.

Love The Rabbit Bites

We have one kitty who loves the rabbit bites. Our boy kitty does not care for them. Our girl kitty immediately grabs the rabbit treat before any of the other ones

We have one kitty who loves the rabbit bites. Our boy kitty does not care for them. Our girl kitty immediately grabs the rabbit treat before any of the other ones. They are on the smaller side so they are easy for her small mouth. Would recommend them to others kitties.

These came in almost solid as a rock. I tried soaking them in water to soften them up and even after breaking them in half and letting them sit for 10 minutes they were no better. Neither my cat who will eat pretty much anything nor my other older one who loves rabbit would touch these after attempting a bite.

I got these as healthier treats for my cat with food sensitivity. she is also finicky. she ate one and wouldn't touch anymore. Funny thing is she likes greenies treats, begs for them and vet says they are not good for pets.

My cat is on a strict rabbit only food. I found these as a treat. It's great and he loves these. I also tried the dog rabbit treats by the same company. You get more for less money with the dog treats. My cat loves those equally

My one cat is allergic to chicken, fish or beef so it’s very hard to find food and treats that dont have byproduct of either at all. Thank you for excluding those

Disappointed

Same as the review I left for the Ahi Tuna flavor, not because their bad snacks but for the simple reason that my little boy didn't take them too well. Every time

Same as the review I left for the Ahi Tuna flavor, not because their bad snacks but for the simple reason that my little boy didn't take them too well. Every time I tried to give him these snacks he would just walk away from them, but he is a very picky eater. You'll just have try them on your fur babies maybe they'll take to them more than my little boy did.

Good course of protein

I have only one cat out of three that really likes these. (Funny enough it’s the cat that’s named Bunny that enjoys these bunny treats haha). The pieces are small

I have only one cat out of three that really likes these. (Funny enough it’s the cat that’s named Bunny that enjoys these bunny treats haha). The pieces are small enough for her to enjoy and large enough where she needs to chew them so hopefully helping with teeth cleaning. Will continue to purchase this item since my Bunny is finicky when it comes to treats and I’m happy she found one only she likes and the other cats won’t take away from her.
