Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Chicken Hearts are a fantastic choice for cat owners seeking a wholesome, single-ingredient treat for their feline companions. The freeze-drying process locks in both flavor and nutrients, providing cats with a snack that is not only irresistible but also packed with protein and essential nutrients like taurine.
Because it’s a single-ingredient treat, you know exactly what your cat is getting: pure chicken hearts with no fillers or additives. This makes it especially appealing for cats with food sensitivities or picky eaters who might otherwise turn their noses up at more processed options.
One of the standout aspects is the texture — freeze-dried treats can often be brittle or dry, but these maintain a satisfying crunch without being too hard, making them easy for cats to eat. The small, bite-sized pieces are convenient for training or rewarding without overfeeding, and the natural aroma is sure to attract even the most finicky felines.
While the package size is only 0.8 oz, it’s highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. However, it’s worth noting that the small package might not last long for multi-cat households or as a regular treat.

I use a pair of scissors to cut these hearts down into thin slices and put some on top of his wet food as a topper, and use small strips as a treat. He’s never had any digestibility issues with these, or any stomach upset, so I’m pretty happy to use these long term. I know that raw food diet is becoming quite popular for pets, I personally don’t fully raw feed my cat but I can imagine these would be a great addition to a raw diet.
I try to give him the highest quality, nutrient packed food that I can find, and I’ve noticed that since incorporating these chicken hearts his coat looks a lot glossier. I’m sure it’s a combination of all of the things I’m giving him but I’m also sure that these chicken hearts are helping. Great nutritional values in comparison to the traditional Temptations treats (which he unfortunately also loves) and comparable for enthusiasm from my cat.
