Vital Essential® Freeze-Dried Vital Cat Treats are made with fresh, whole, single-sourced USDA animal protein. These vital nutrients provide essential nutrition that cats instinctively crave because they are made with meat, bones, and whole vital organs. These treats are nutrient-packed raw meat that is freeze-dried.

The Vital Cat freeze-dried vital treats are available in seven (7) different proteins. The traditional proteins are available in chicken, tuna, and salmon. One of the things that make these treats a little more unique are the alternative proteins such as rabbit, minnows, and duck liver which is great for cats with allergies to chicken and turkey. We received a package of the rabbit and duck treats. As you can tell from the photo above, we couldn't wait to get into the packages.
Vital Essentials is a complete and balanced raw diet that represents the ALPHA-prey model diet, which is comprised of meat, bone, and whole vital organs. This diet, which is part of the treats, is virtually identical to the diet of an ALPHA in its natural habitat. Both Truffle and Brulee went crazy over these treats. They were crunchy and delicious (based on their reactions to the treats) and Mom Paula felt great that they were getting a single-source protein treat provides essential nutrition that we crave.

One thing to remember when feeding raw diet treats (and food), even if they are freeze-dried, is to practice safe handling techniques. Your humans should wash their hands, utensils, counters, food dishes, and related areas thoroughly with hot, soapy water after each feeding. The freeze-dried products should be stored in a cool and dark place. Vital Essentials recommends that the treats should be fed within 30 days after opening the bag.
You can purchase the Vital Essentials freeze-dried treats at Chewy.com. The treats are currently priced at $4.49. All seven protein sources are available from Chewy.com and we can't wait to try the others. Remember, you can purchase all of your feline's needs from Chewy.com and will receive free two-day shipping if the total purchase price is $49+. The customer service is excellent (we rarely have to call them) and we encourage you to give them a try.
