Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Minnows Cat Treats Single Ingredient Premium Quality Grain Free Healthy Treats for Cats 0

I bought these as a high-protein, minimal-ingredient treat option and they’ve been a big hit right away. Ingredients & quality: These are truly single-ingredient treats—just freeze-dried whole minnows, nothing added. You can tell the quality is high based on the smell (strong fish scent, which cats love) and the intact whole-fish appearance. No fillers, grains, or artificial ingredients. Palatability: Every cat I’ve tried these with reacts immediately. Even picky eaters show strong interest, and they’re especially useful as a high-value reward or food topper. The crunch factor seems to make them more engaging than softer treats. Nutrition & use: Because they’re freeze-dried and protein-dense, a little goes a long way. I like using them as an occasional treat rather than free-feeding. They’re also easy to break into smaller pieces if you want better portion control. Things to consider: The smell is strong (expected for real fish), so you’ll want to keep the bag sealed. The whole-minnow size may be large for some cats, but they crumble easily if needed. Overall: If you’re looking for a clean, species-appropriate treat with no unnecessary additives, these are an excellent choice. High quality, simple ingredients, and extremely appealing to cats.

Your kitty will love these minnows. Give them a try today. Read more

I love these, it took my cat a day or two to get used to them, so I cut them up and snuck it into her kibble and wet food, but now I don't have to cut them up and it's the first thing she goes for in her dish now. I noticed her coat seemed a bit better, since she chewed her fur off and had a lil bald spot cuz of flees, (don't worry, I treated it and she's good) but I got these to help her coat and maybe a better snack than temptations or friskies treats. I definitely recommend them for your cats! It's easy for her to chew, and it's very worth the money! (For context, my cat is a 12lb, 3yr old female tortie mix) Read more

So I've been buying the same ol treats (temptations) for my 3 cats for a few years now. Hv bought all the different flavors also. So when I seen these minnow treats I was like, hmm I bet theyd like something new. And I was right. They enjoyed them. My 2 older girl cats only liked the tiny minnows & my teenage boy cat liked them no matter what size. I had to put them in another ziplock bag cause my boy would try to rip open the package. At 1st I gv them 1 each night for a few weeks, before bed. Then I noticed my older girls were like nah, we good & wouldn't touch them anymore. So I stopped giving them any until about 1 week ago. They started eating them again. It was an ok experience with trying something new but I personally would not buy again. I'll stick to temptations. Looked easy to chew & tasty for them. Theyre supposed to be more nutritious then other treats. Ingredients were all natural dried minnows. There's a bunch of them in package, good quality! Color silver. Like minnows look like. Read more

My cat, who is not usually very food-motivated and is picky about his treats, goes bonkers over these. He can smell them from a room away and always comes running. They are a healthier alternative than other treats, which makes them good for training, especially since he likes them so much Read more

My dogs love minions, my only inconvenience is the cost of it. I have 2 dogs and they eat 3, 4 per month. I tried to change for others less expensive but they did not like, the quality is not the same. Read more
