Wash hands, utensils, counters, food dishes and related areas thoroughly with hot, soapy water after each feeding. Store freeze - dried products in a cool dark place. Best if fed within 30 days after opening.
Switch to a purely RAW diet slowly. Some pets may take to RAW immediately, while others may take longer. Take at least 10 days to 2 weeks to gradually transition your pet’s diet. This gives the digestive system time to adjust to the new food.

- Step 3 (Day 4 - 6): Serve 50% RAW mixed with 50% current food

Merry Noel loves her new food.
By Jannie on Dec 4, 2020
Have had trouble finding the right food for my Sheltie. Two different vets have done allergy tests and recommended special food for her. The last one, a Holistic vet recommended this product after her latest round of testing. She loves her new “raw” diet. She weighs about 26 pounds. I use a very small dish with about 1/4 cup of food topped with 1/2 can of of drained vegetables. Negative ... this stuff is very expensive!!!!!

Pricey but they love it!
By Kiko on Dec 31, 2020
I grind these hard little nuggets in the blender to mix into the Honest Kitchen food because my pups got very bored with it. They love it!

Wonderful! !
By CathyP on Oct 17, 2020
My little girl loves it. Only negative is forgiving out the correct amount to feed her. The suggestions in the bag are off weights so I had to convert to tablespoons. Other than that, it’s great.

Great product
By Danelover on Oct 29, 2020
Opal (my 14 month old Great Dane) loved this treat! I’ve been trying to find a raw diet for her, but they are all SO expensive!

Great Treats for Hiking
By PawterPups on Aug 19, 2020
I love these treats for reinforcing recalls and trail manners. They're not crumbly and don't melt in hot weather. They're pretty high value for my pups so they're reasonable reinforcers for things like tough recalls off of wildlife, etc.

Very convenient for not having to have a cooler full of food just for the dogs when we are on the road. This was our first time with Turkey flavor, it didn’t disappoint! We have multiple breed household(Aussie & Dachshunds). This food is fantastic! Worth the price and a huge plus there are different flavors. Highly recommend this company for your Raw needs … more

You can depend on quality from ALL Vital Essential products. A little expensive but worth the convenience when traveling or just to excite as a topper. The treats are great too!!

Difficult for smaller breeds.
By Nadine on Apr 24, 2020
Purchased this food for my elderly chihuahua. In hopes that freeze dried food would be softer and small enough for her to eat. Unfortunately, this is not the case. (For my dog). Upon opening the package I found: 1) The Mini Nibs to be larger than expected. (Would be better for larger breeds.) 2) The food was actually hard.. similar to regular kibble in texture. (Not a good choice for dogs with trouble chewing and dental issues.) 3) Since the food is packaged by weight 1lbs of this food is only about a little over 1/3 of the initial packaging. (For the amount you get vs the cost. Not really practical as a solo diet. ) I will use these as treats due to having to make the pieces smaller. Purchased this food for my elderly chihuahua.

On a positive note. I feel this is a quality product... I like freeze dried idea and the ingredients listed on the packaging. … more

Abbe wouldn’t even try it.
By Gigi on Jul 13, 2020
Abbe eats a raw diet. I hate to judge this product on Abbe’s assessment. She’s picky. She sniffed and walked away and did the same with numerous attempts. I even mixed it and she ate everything else and left that

By Teddyshampoo on Jun 10, 2020
Same price at Chewy as the store. I don't have to expose myself to people going to the store. Plus I love Chewy's customer service.
