    5.0 out of 5 stars My kittens love it
    Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2024
    My cats absolutely love these Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Minnows! The treats are all-natural and raw, which is great for their health, and I love that they’re packed with protein. The small size makes them perfect for treating and rewarding my cats, and they go absolutely wild for them! The best part is that there are no artificial additives, so I feel good about giving them these treats. The bag is the perfect size for a few weeks of indulgence, and the price is very reasonable. Highly recommend for any cat owner looking for a healthy, tasty treat for their furry friends!

    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2024
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My cat goes MENTAL for these
    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2024
    First day I got these, I left them on a table and my cat started biting the bag trying to get to these chicken hearts. It has quite a strong organ smell that my cat LOVES.

    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.

    3 out of my 4 cats loved it! The peices were a bit big for my non food motivated guy so he didn't know what to do with it haha. He did eat a smaller one though. Point is, great healthy treat with a reasonable price!

    My cats loved the taste. As you can see, they broke the bag to eat them. One of my cats has a sensitive stomach and he didn't threw up. Great quality product and ingredients, not to soft nor hard.
    Only negative thing is that there isn't many treats per bag.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great little snack snacks
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025
    Well, they were great little snacks for my neighbors animals. My tabby ate the chicken hearts, and she loved it but immediately puked it up. I think it was too strong at first for her belly. My Russian blue didn’t want anything to do with it. I even tried the freeze dried minnows neither one of them one of those, but their dry food that I upgraded because my one cat has an allergy and it needed to be changed. They absolutely love, but I’m bummed because I really wanted them to like these treats, but it did warm my heart that the neighbors cats and the dog did like the chicken hearts. I still give him a five out of five because I know they’re healthy and I know other cats like them.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025
    my cats love these minnows. i will definitely be trying more of these products. my girl figured it out immediately and scarfed it down, my boy took a little longer and ran around holding the fish in his mouth until he figured out to chew it (which also took a while). he did like it though. i dont think they like these as much as churu, but they like it enough that i'm satisfied with the product. i also like the enrichment aspect.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A HUGE hit!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025
    My kitties go CRAZY for these, which is huge, because they’ve never been particularly food motivated. They cry and beg for these minnows, though! Love that they’re packed with nutrients and health benefits. I add one to their meals daily, and give extras here and there as a treat. This is now a staple in my household. (The dogs love them, too!) ????????????
