Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Single Ingredient Cat Treats, Minnows, 1 oz (Package may vary)

My two boys were on these minnows and the chicken hearts like white on rice, straight out of the bag, and they kept looking around for more. :) There's a mild fishy odor with the minnows but this is a good thing because it draws the cats to it, and it's not bothersome. They're light and they're crunchy by the sound of it. Freeze dried means the moisture is removed so these should keep for a while. I cut the hearts into quarters and give them two pieces each, and two minnows each every few days. Kind of expensive but it's good stuff.

All-natural dried chicken liver—and my kitten is obsessed. She knows it’s real food and plays with the pieces before devouring them. I also use them as a topper on her meals, and she goes wild for it. They look super healthy, with a good amount of natural fat, which is great for her. Total win.

I've purchased every type of cat treats this brand offers on Amazon and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a healthier treat for kitties. I bought the smallest size of all of them to figure out what they like. My boy loves the chicken hearts, they both hate the minnows (although they've never been the biggest fan of fishy flavors) but I can tell these would be healthy treats - they're just dried minnows, and they both love the duck liver and other various chicken treats. Definitely give these a try!

I love that these are JUST freeze-dried minnows, with no weird ingredients to worry about. My main reason for trying these was because the regular treats my cats LOVED started upsetting their tummies. Shortly after switching to these, that stopped completely. And 2 out of my 3 cats like them so far, so I consider that a win!

This is a good product and it's good for your cat. Has all the benefits for good health. However, my cat just did not like this. It's all good though........ That's just what cats do. I'd like to give it five stars but, I just didn't get that reaction for my cat. It was not a waste of money, other cats in the neighborhood appreciated it!

Our 2 cats absolutely love these freeze dried minnows! They have a slight fishy smell (in a good, expected way), which I believe was the key to them loving them so much. We did try another brand that was less money, but they had no smell whatsoever and the cats wouldn't touch those. So, we bought Vital Essentials again, and will stick with this brand as a great, nutritious and unique treat for our kitties. Highly recommend giving them a try.

I was excited to get these as I have never purchased treats for my boy. Don't worry, he gets fresh chicken and turkey... a treat in itself! I wanted something easy though and he likes canned fish flavor cat food. I opened the bag and, honestly, the fish smells awesome! It's a small bag, but there were quite a few in there and one treat day would last a couple of weeks or so. I held the open bag to my cat's nose and sniffed with curiosity. I picked up a minnow and held it out to him and he walked away. I set it on the floor. He couldn't care less. I laid it on top of his dry food. He won't eat the dry food now. At dinner time he practically attacked me begging for wet food. Sa la vie! Sometimes I wonder if I have a normal cat. My weird boy aside, I'd say give it a try. They really do smell very good and it's nice they are natural and have no colorings and flavorings. I'm honestly shocked my cat wouldn't eat them. I plan to try cutting a small piece for him and see if he'd try that. If not, there are plenty of ferals outside who will probably gobble them up.Update: Changing my 3 star rating to 5 stars. The cats outside went crazy for these! I had strays walking up and taking them right out of my hand. One cat tried to follow me back in the house excited for more and then sat outside looking in the window with puppy dog eyes hoping. Cats definitely love them! I just have a weird cat.

You should purchase these like your life depends on them because they very well may. Whenever I break out this little package of freeze dried raw chicken breasts. My cat Gus goes a little nuts. He actually prior to the picture being taken jumped up onto my leg and bit my knee in excitement of getting these treats. This is the least violent most loving cat you'll ever meet and he bit my knee out of excitement of receiving two of these treats. Gus is utterly obsessed with these cat treats. I have met stalkers with less of an obsession than Gus has for these treats. But these. Now.
