Vital EssentialsFreeze Dried Cat Food, Duck Dinner Patties 8 oz

My cat really likes freeze dried chicken so we tried the turkey and he likes this too. The bag is huge so it lasts a long time. Just break a chunk off of a patty and smash into smaller chunks and it’s ready for kitty to eat. We have pretty much gone to all freeze dried and pureed food for the cat, very little grains.

Very impressed. Have four kitties including two that seem to hate every wet food except one line from a junk brand. These two cats surprised me by eating the patties dry, sadly not when reconstituted, broken up into bite-sized pieces. Still, it's definitely progress from the crap dry food.I'm going to try the other patties, too. The nibbles from the same brand were incredibly hard, even the feral cats wouldn't eat them (The birds; however, really liked LOL.)Also, my other two cats did not like the patties reconstituted either, but would eat if it was the only food available. The brand is great quality and highly recommend.

I sprinkle it over the dry. I was using another brand with a Z but it got too expensive. I was looking for something that was good quality at a good price. This is it. My cats poop doesn't smell. Limited ingredients. You will notice that the litter box doesn't smell as bad. I ordered the beef and chicken. If you break it apart with your fingers you will notice a bit of oily or greasy-ness on your fingers. I have found a few blobs of fat. It's soft so I keep it in the fridge. Both cats love it and that isn't easy pleasing both of them. I'm a huge fan of raw food. Lot less health issues. They still love their dry kibble and their wet cat food. They eat it like it's a treat. I wet it when I first got it but it seems to be pretty moist right out of the bag. I keep it in the fridge.

I am feeding my 3 cats this particular cat food and let me tell you they love the duck, rabbit and chicken. I researched for almost 7 months comparing quality, customer service and cost. Hands down all three catagories were absolutely on target. The customer service is excellent. I am telling you the kitties coats are soft and fluffy and everything they tell you on their website. Please try this if you are searching for freeze dried cat food. Also check out the quality control on "all about cats" website.

This bag of patties is now part of my cats daily meal. Because of the expense I only feed this with their regular kibble as a “side”. Because it’s so dry, I feel like I need to soak it, but I don’t have the patience to wait as it takes a while. I break it up and try and hydrate the pieces as much as I can but my kitten is impatient too. One of my cats is a no nonsense kibble eater and don’t care for me to mess with her food. The other one will remind me if I didn’t feed him his once a day “side” dish.The Pattie’s doesn’t smell bad at all, I would say it has a kinda nice meaty smell.
