Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Cat Treats | Duck Liver, Single Ingredient | Premium Quality | Grain Free, Healthy Treats for Cats, 0.9 oz Bag

Our cat LOVES these duck liver treats. I have to hide the bag. If I shake the bag he comes looking for them. I pulverize all the treats on purpose before opening the bag to turn the whole package into a powder. Then I use a plastic spoon to sprinkle about a teaspoonful of the powder over my cat’s wet food meals as a topper. He absolutely loves these. The bag may seem small but I use a teaspoonful every day and it lasts quite awhile. The food seems very high quality. It’s been a good protein addition for my elderly cat, so it’s worth every penny. He seems to love the taste.

My girl loves these duck liver treats. I use it as a kibble topper. She won't eat her kibble without her freeze dried duck liver. It's an affordable addition to otherwise bland kibble that makes meal time more enjoyable. Anytime the bag is opened she comes running as they are highly desired. I also use these treats for positive reinforcement of desirable behavior such as when she cooperates with groom time without nipping at the brush. I just ordered the minnows so we'll see if she likes those also. Vital makes all sorts of healthy options for your cat. Highly recommend. Update Jan 26th, 2024 I did get the minnow option. I also got rabbit from a local shop by me. Minnow sadly is a no for my girl however they look exactly as described with all the organs and everything in them. The rabbit looks like pellets and hard to break. The rabbit for my girl is 50/50. I thought she'd like the treat given that I've been serving her freeze dried full meals from Primal Instinct brand she loves both dry and rehydrated cooked. I'm not sure what Vital is doing with the rabbit option as my girl isn't the enthusiastic about eating it. Duck treat is still her all time favorite freeze dried treat followed by Origin freeze dried raw lamb treat. I'm still giving the options 5 star as I can't expect my girl to love everything presented to her. It's great if your fur baby loves the other flavors as Vital is reasonably priced for their options and highly desired. Overall, I still highly recommend all of their treats. Update 4/8/24 I decided to rehydrate the rabbit treat. In doing so I noted why it is so stiff. It's got a tiny bone in it. Nothing wrong with this as it gives your cat more calcium. My cat is a princes sand doesn't like working hard for her protein so she doesn't eat this treat. She does like rabbit pate and the freeze dried meals of rabbit from both Primal and Vital Essentials. I also recently got the salmon in store. My girl sadly doesn't like salmon however another cat I previously sat for enjoyed this option. I passed the treat off to their owner who said their cat immediately took to the treat. I also passed off rabbit and the minnow to this cat to which he too denied their flavors. For him, these proteins is too exotic. Still these are excellent treats for those whose pets actually like them. 5 of 5 stars all around.

I recently purchased this freeze-dried duck liver and I am extremely impressed with the quality. The pieces are fresh, clean, and perfectly freeze-dried — not greasy or crumbly like some other brands I’ve tried. You can tell it’s made from high-quality ingredients with no fillers or artificial additives, which is very important to me when choosing treats. The aroma is strong (as expected with real liver), and my pets absolutely love it! Even my pickiest eater comes running as soon as the bag opens. It works wonderfully as a high-value training treat because the pieces are easy to break into smaller portions without making a mess. I also appreciate that it’s a single-ingredient product, making it a great option for pets with food sensitivities or limited-ingredient diets. The resealable packaging keeps everything fresh and convenient.

The content could be crushed like powder so not that suitable for hand fed cat snack, can only pour into bowl, after some time of opening package, my cats lost interest as well, guessing that’s because lost of smell

My cats love it. They will howl at my door in the morning to have one. My only complaint is it smells BAD. But I think they don’t mind.😂

​I really like these because I feel confident that they are safe and high quality. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love them! They are usually around $10, which is a decent price for freeze dried raw protein. ​Now they have a kitty option! She so far has never been food motivated but shes enjoying these!

Our vet (specialized in cats) said one should not feed cats freeze dried raw poultry, because it could potentially have avian flu, which can be fatal to cats.

My picky cats won't eat them. They stink bad, so not sure why. I gave it five stars because they are well packaged and well made it appears. I dunno know about your cats, mine are VERY picky (and spoiled), so its hit or miss. They of course would eat a turd if you were eating it and they could beg a bite :). Cats are funny, the only way to know if yours will eat them is to try. They do stink, which is always a good sign for cat treats.

Way better ingredients than the garbage cat treats. I use it as a topper for my wet food and the cats loved it. Even my picky one!

My cats love this and it’s soft! Which is good if want sprinkle on top of the food

all my cats love it! It's a hit! 10/10 would recommend to others to get.

My cats loved it! To bad it expires after 30 days tho

Having read many reviews and the nutritional information on these I was very happy with my purchase. Unfortunately my cat is very picky and wasn't too happy about her new food topper.
