Vital Essentials Minnows Dog Treats, 2.5 oz | Freeze-Dried Raw | Single Ingredient | Premium Quality High Protein Training Treats | Grain Free, Gluten Free, Filler Free

When I tell you that my cats turn into little vicious monsters when I pull these out, I mean it. These are their favorite little treats ever. They are just freeze dried chicken hearts, they weren’t drained of blood so they still had freeze dried/dehydrated blood flakes on the inside and I think that is why they like them so much. It lets them be true carnivores. They are a little big for one kitty so I always cut them in half so they don’t choke on them. Believe me, if you have a gremlin cat that thinks they’ve never been fed, you need to cut these in half. On of mine tried to swallow it whole so the other couldn’t steal it. Cut. Them. Up. But they are incredible quality. They look exactly like the picture. They are thick treats and you can tell they are quality by the smell and color. They look vibrant, they smell like real meat.

These beef liver treats are my dog’s absolute favorite! As soon as I open the bag, he comes running. I love that they’re made with just one ingredient—100% beef liver—so I feel confident giving them to him as a healthy, high-protein snack.They’re the perfect size for training, but also easy to break into smaller pieces if needed. No fillers, no grains, no weird ingredients—just pure, nutritious goodness. Plus, they don’t leave a greasy mess on my hands like some other treats.Why I love them:• Single-ingredient and all-natural• High in protein and nutrients• Freeze-dried, so no mess or smell• Great for training or meal toppers• My pup is absolutely obsessed!If you’re looking for a clean, healthy treat that your dog will love, these are a must-have. I’ll definitely be buying more!

I have several packages of Vital Essentials (beef salmon, pork, and chicken) so I thought I’d try the Chicken Hearts. Oh Boy, these were an automatic hit - my Shih Tzu loves them so much she was shaking! Each chicken heart is thick and dense and appears to be of excellent quality. I give her one a day and hold it while she assertively nibbles and bites until she’s finished. By the way she goes for this, it appears to be the best tasting food she’s ever eaten. I’m satisfied she’s getting the best nutrients possible and that it’s great for her gut, skin and coat. I definitely recommend this line and especially the chicken hearts for a healthy treat.

¡Estas golosinas de hígado de res liofilizado son simplemente fantásticas! Mi perro las adora y se vuelve loco por ellas. Lo que más me gusta es que son de un solo ingrediente y crudas liofilizadas, lo que me da la tranquilidad de que le estoy dando algo realmente saludable y sin aditivos innecesarios. Son perfectas para entrenar o simplemente como un premio delicioso. La bolsa es de buen tamaño y las piezas son fáciles de manejar. Si buscas un premio de alta calidad que a tu perro le encante y que sea nutritivo, ¡no busques más! ¡Súper recomendadas!

Over all these are a nice healthy alternative to big brand cat treats. I was hesitant to try freeze-dried foods because I had heard that cats were often off put by the texture, but gave it a shot anyway and I’m glad I did. She loves these little things and asks for some very time I’m by the cabinet they are in. I’ve got a little treat toy that she has to figure out how to open and before these she was never motivated enough to try but how she’ll empty it in 10 minutes. Will definitely be ordering other foods from this brand.Only con is they seem to have a powdery residue to them and there kind of small but that doesn’t seem to bother her.

These are such great training treats! My dog absolutely loves to do tricks for these. I like that these are single ingredient with lots of protein and seem really healthy for my dog. She is a big dog so these are one-bite treats for her and she usually gets a few per session, which is fine since they are economically priced. I find that they do get a little sticky if I don't use them up pretty quickly once I open the bag so the longevity might not be great if you plan to only give your dog one every once in awhile. These do not seem to cause my dog any allergies or digestive issues, which is especially important since she is very sensitive and picky. We have repurchased these a number of times already and plan to continue to do so!

I have purchased these monthly for several months now and I am continuously impressed with the quality and the price. After using soft training treats for my dog, finding non-training treats that he will eat as we continue to train him, have been a challenge. However, he joyfully looks forward to these. I will say, there are often several broken pieces at the bottom of the bag. If this is something that bothers you, then you may want to look elsewhere. Overall, for the price and quality, I'll continue to buy these.

My Shih Tzu loves these. Tried them out for the first time today and she can’t stop chewing on them and they are soft, so no hard splinters to worry about. She has a bully stick holder but can also manage without one but when it becomes too small, I like the holder to make sure she doesn’t gobble up a big piece.
