Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Cat Food, Chicken Mini Patties Entree, 15 oz

Offering a wide variety of foods is a big part of the cats diet here at camp kitty, but having as many cats as we do each with their own likes and dislikes, it’s nice to find a product they will all eat regularly. These turkey entree patties are the first ones we’ve tried and it’s been great. We’re curious about trying the others like the chicken ones. The smell wasn’t off putting at all, even after rehydrating. I would describe it like an earthy smell. The size of the patties is a perfect portion for our heard of cats and the texture is the perfect in between. Hard enough that they mostly kept their shape but soft enough to easily break down with your hands before rehydrating. We can definitely tell some of our kitties love the taste more than others, but everyone’s definitely given it a try. I think the quality is pretty decent, although I did find some hard bits at times when breaking down the patty. But none of the bits have been sharp or concerning, they seem normal considering what the product is. Overall we’re happy with these freeze dried patties and excited to try the chicken ones. We greatly appreciate the brands transparency on everything like manufacturing and sourcing, and that the information wasn't hard to find. That’s really something we appreciate a lot with the Vital Essentials brand. Definitely give this product a try especially if you’ve got some poultry loving kitties like we do! If you’ve only got 1-2 cats give the smaller size bag a try first, but for our 7+ kitty crew we needed the biggest bag and it lasted us about 3 weeks. This product is not the only thing we feed them but we’ve been feeding it daily. I would say 1-2 patties a day between all of them plus several other foods. We’ve not seen any negative effects from incorporating it into their diet this regularly. This will likely become a good staple product we purchase often for them.

Nova loves these.

When will these be available again? My cats love this patty product.

My cat loves this so much!

Dewey absolutely loves this freeze dried meal! Super simple to prep raw feeding on the go. Crumbles really well and absorbs water to create a well balancing hydrating raw meal on rotation. Love it!
