Great cat treat!

jennaDecember 30, 2025

The only treat my cat loves! She is one of the pickiest kitties I’ve ever met (credentials: i used to cat-sit), but she will RUN for these when I start to open the bag! They can be a tiny bit messy, since my cat likes to take them off her treat plate and chew from the floor lol, but she also seems to chew them quickly and easily enough that it’s not often too messy. Some of them are stuck together, and it’s a bit gross to have to un-stick them, but it’s worth it for my kitty’s happiness! They’ve lasted us a while — it’s a good amount for the price, which I initially thought was pretty high! But I’ll definitely be repurchasing these, as she loves them and they’re a good, healthy treat! The minnows are, on average, the size and thickness of my pinkie. Read more

Cats love.

JoshuaDecember 31, 2025

This is great quality stuff. The cats love the taste and the smell of this. They go crazy for it. There’s larger and smaller ones. This works great because one of my cats is little and the other large. Read more

High-quality freeze-dried treats with great value

SamDecember 30, 2025

These are my cat’s favorite treats by far. The quality is consistently high, with simple single-ingredient freeze-dried minnows that look clean and fresh. They’re easy to break into smaller pieces, which helps with portion control and makes the bag last longer. The texture is light and crunchy, and they hold up well without turning to dust. For the quality you get, the value is excellent, especially compared to similar freeze-dried options. Read more

★★★★★

Great product! Why so expensive simply because it’s marketed for cats?

CatJanuary 2, 2026

Great product, super simple, cats & dogs love them! Extremely disappointed that you charge so much more simply because you call them cats treats instead of dog treats. It’s the same one ingredient, the same packaging. You charge more because it says cat? I’ll not be purchasing these specific treats(cat) ever again since I can get the SAME freeze dried chicken, the SAME brand, SAME package for almost half the price because they’re “dog” treats Read more

★★★★☆

Good quality, not for every cat

SammyNovember 12, 2025

The product came as described, however my cat did not like these. I tried them as a snack which didn’t work, so I tried mixing them in his food but it was still a no. My other cat loved them though so I’m sure it’s just a preference. Would purchase again! Read more

Simple ingredient. Cats love it !!! Recommended!

TJanuary 3, 2026

Both of my cats love this treats. They can’t get enough and I have to order more! It doesn’t have a strong smell and my cats love them. My husband tried a little bit based on curiosity and he said it’s tasty no wonder why the cats love them. It’s doesn’t have added salt, and it doesn’t taste salty, so I believe it’s a healthy option for my cats. My cats would fight over the treats whenever I feed them, they’re able to chew them with no issue, they finish 3 treats within 30 seconds. Freeze dried treat is a better option for us because it’s a simple ingredient without too much of added ingredient, it’s safer for my cats. Definitely worth it and I will get them on a regular basis now!! Read more

Smaller bag, but the chicken hearts are fairly big and can be cut up into several pieces.

SamNovember 26, 2025

My Bengal-mix kitty has never been a huge treat fan, she'll eat Greenies, but sometimes ignores them and turns her nose up at most wet foods regardless of quality, flavor or type. Only treats she really likes are Churu or Catit squeeze pouches, which aren't something I want to give her more than once a day. So I recently decided to try a few different Vital Essentials treat bags for my super finicky cat (also didn't want to buy treats that were loaded or processed with fillers and junk). She had no idea what to do with the fish minnows, she'd rather play with them, the plain freeze-dried chicken chunks were edible but nothing sensational and didn't spark any cravings. But these chickens hearts ... WINNER WINNER chicken dinner !! She actually comes running for these (pic: yeah she's on the counter, it's safe and clean). Tried the smaller bag because they're a bit spendy $$, thankfully the hearts are pretty large so I'm able to cut one into about 6-8 smaller pieces. I also recently picked up a new kitten, he loves the minnows so they won't go to waste, and of course he loves the chicken hearts too. Excellent tasty treats. Read more

Exactly what I ordered!

BamboozledDecember 28, 2025

Product is perfect. I have picky cats so only 1 out of my 4 cats actually ate it. If you have chickens though, they love them! No weird smell either except a roasty toasty smell. Will buy again! Read more
