Vital EssentialsMinnows Cat Treats, 0.5 oz | Freeze-Dried Raw | Single Ingredient | Grain Free, Gluten Free, Filler Free

Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Raw Minnows have completely transformed treat time in our house. My cat is notoriously picky, but the moment I opened the bag, she came running. These treats are made from just one ingredient—whole, premium-quality minnows—and you can actually see that it’s real fish, not some mystery mush pressed into a shape.I love knowing the treats are made without fillers, grains, dyes, or artificial junk. Just clean, high-protein nutrition that supports her energy, coat, and digestion. Her fur is shinier, her breath is fresher (a miracle!), and she’s more playful than she’s been in ages.The freeze-drying process locks in freshness and nutrients without harsh processing, and I appreciate that the fish is frozen within 45 minutes of harvesting—talk about fresh! Plus, everything is responsibly sourced and crafted in the U.S., which gives me extra peace of mind.If you're looking for a natural, single-ingredient treat your cat will love—and that you’ll feel great about giving—this is it. Bonus: no gross smell or greasy residue like some fish treats have. Just light, crunchy, pure goodness.10/10 – my cat and I are both hooked!

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.

Packaging was very easy to open, and my cats love these treats! Even my pickiest eaters regularly come to beg for more minnows. They love the taste, and I love knowing that they’re good for my cat’s health. The packaging locks closed for freshness and keeps the treats good for a long time (not that my cats ever let them last that long!) They’re not overly smelly to humans, either!

My cat enjoys these; she loves the taste, and it helps me train her to follow commands. They are easy for her to chew, but the smell is a bit overbearing. I would say they are healthier than other cat treats, and they are quite durable and don't turn into chunks in my cabinet.

Cats didn't want it. However I got creative and grinded it into their fish flavored wet food. That's the only way they will eat it. I like that it's a natural food, doesn't need to be refrigerated, and has omega which helps them be healthy.

USA product, no additives or fillers, just chicken. My babies love this. Doesn’t smell at all, healthy treat, as described, delivery as promised, repeat purchase. Very pleased with my purchase and very pleased with my cats continued enthusiasm. Yes I recommend.

These are a hit with my kitties. Definitely as advertised. Whole minnows so if you have a cat into paté food may take a while for them to eat them because most of the minnows are about an inch to an inch and a half.They get

👃 🐠 👀oh my God they stink! I was a little sad looking at little dead fish but I have issues lolMy 2 in & out CATS love them at first. Maybe they felt guilty eating them but now they’re sitting in the bag. I’ll give them to my furry niece and nephew. See if they like them.
