Lifesaver for a picky cat with health issues
By Angie on Nov 24, 2020
My little guy (6-year old shorthair cat) had been having issues with weight loss, but he's also a picky eater. I was desperate to find something that would get him to at least eat a little more. This food topper not only adds extra calories when he doesn't eat a lot of his food, but it gets him to clean his plate. It might not be for every cat, but I'm really glad I tried this out.

Turkey Topper
By Lcoop on Nov 24, 2020
My pup loves this freeze dried turkey topper on his dry kibble. I mix in a few scoops with his kibble - great quality, it adds nutrients and a boost of flavor that he seems to love. We have purchased it several times now.

Nom Nom, Nosh Nosh
By Kellyn on Sep 3, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
My wee house-tiger loves this! I only sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon over his crunchies as a savory topper. I love that it's a good quality, single ingredient. Louie loves that it's tasty. A satisfied belly means a satisfied cat and that makes me a happy cat mom.

Smells like pee
By ChristineBing on Aug 27, 2020
Not sure what they do in the processing of this food topper but it smells like pee. I've gotten lots of dehydrated treats for my dogs and never did they smell like this one. One of my dogs won't touch it, the other dog will as long as it's mixed with another topper.

Another Vital Essentials Feline Favorite
By Motheroftheden on Jun 22, 2020
I like that the topper has some moisture and not completely dry. All 3 felines raise their paws of approval!

A pretty popular topper for canned food in my feline household.
By Akekailani on Feb 11, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
I bought VE turkey topper to use to gradually transition one of my senior kibble addicts to canned food. Cheddar will eat the dry topper sprinkled over kibbles, or will eat the topper off a plate of canned food, leaving much of the the wet food behind. He will also eat dry VE topper alone, off of a saucer. I haven't given up on him by any means. I think that eventually he will be willing to eat meals of canned food without topper, or rehydrated VE alone. Other cats in the household love this product. VE chicken topper is even more popular than the turkey flavor. I will definitely purchase this product again in the future.

I got this to help my diabetic cat gain weight. She really suffers from food boredom. She ate more than I expected. Very pleased.

No Go for my Picky Eater
By Jay333 on Jan 25, 2020
Not sure why, she loves the other treats, just doesn’t go for this.. I’ve tried it in her kibble and in her cooked food. Hit and miss with her..

Dogs love it!
By Catherine on Aug 23, 2019
I got this to help in courage my little dog to eat, she’s picky and will go a few days without eating if she feels like it. Sprinkled a bit of this in with her food and she eats it all immediately. I took off a star because there was no scooper/measuring cup in the bag.
