You want the best for your pets, and that’s why you’re probably always hunting for delicious healthy treats to give them to show you really care. A brand called Vital Essentials has mastered the art of wholesome cat treats and the brand’s dried minnows have become a favorite among cat parents because they’re simple snacks that are not only healthy but delicious, too. Cats seriously go crazy for these treats!
The Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Raw Minnows Cat Treats are exactly that: raw minnows without any fillers, additives, dyes, preservatives, or flavorings. They’re natural and freeze-dried, which means they are just a single ingredient, making them ideal for picky eaters and cats with allergies. And because they’re crispy, these minnows help keep your cat’s teeth clean and plaque-free while the protein helps her build muscle and maintain energy all day long.
According to cat parents, once your furry friend has tried her first minnow, she’ll be hooked! Luckily, they’re only $8 per package, so you can keep them in stock without breaking the bank.
Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Cat Treats, Minnows
“I have the pickiest cats and they devoured these without hesitation,” one pet parent wrote. “A total first. Two calories per fish, high protein, low fat. Since they are freeze-dried, they don’t smell that strongly but there is still a fishy odor. 100 percent will buy again.”
Another person wrote, “A great quality product! I was worried the smell would be really bad, but it wasn’t noticeable at all … My cat loved the taste. One of my cats has had some teeth removed, so I just cut the minnow in half, and she ate it like a champ! I love how this product isn’t made with so many ingredients! One of my cats has some food sensitivities, but my vet approved it!”
“I purchase these regularly as (healthy) tasty snacks for my kitties!” another cat parent added. “A couple of them absolutely love them and can eat dozens at a time … Aside from the kitties loving them (which is more important), I also like the fact that there is only one single ingredient in these snacks: minnows, which means it is also pretty healthy for my cats!”
Minnows may just be all the rage in your house soon enough! Grab a package of these healthy treats and see if your cat falls in love as fast as so many others have. With just one single (super tasty!) ingredient, you can both feel good about treat time.
