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

I absolutely love these! I feed them to both my turtle as well as my cats! Both absolutely love them! They are real and natural! Good quantity amount for what you receive! My cats and turtle appear to absolutely love the taste! My tuxedo literally goes nuts for them and he gets super fluffy with excitement when he gets these as treats! I love giving my cats and turtle natural real food. Nothing nasty. They are easy to chew! Both cat and turtle have no problems chewing or digesting them! Their healthy overall and good source of omegas for the pets!

I bought the minnows for my 10 month old kitten. I wanted these to fulfill his needs for his hunting instincts and play. I toss one over, he darts to chase it. He'll play with it and chew it, then devour the rest. Very crunchy, but he loves it! He's very energetic and playful, so this is a perfect addition for his routine. I tried to feed some to our 2 other adult cats, but they showed no interest. So keep in mind that this may not be for every kitty! But overall, great healthy treats for cats!

These things smell like old fish but my cats lose their minds over them. Very healthy treat for them to have and they absolutely love them. Since my cats have lost a lot of teeth over the past few years (due to age, etc) I find that it works best if I cut them into fourths for them. They have no problem eating them, and they have not caused any digestion issues at all. I put them on top of their morning and evening meals now, but they also like them alone as a snack.

Our cat has become finicky in her old age 😉 She's not liking some of her favorite food and snacks so I have been experimenting with new and some "unusual" stuff. The only thing I can say is my cat needs intervention now, she has lost her kitty mind over these treats! And it's the heart ones she loves none of the others! The next shipment (I have them on auto delivery) i am going to put them under lock and key because she "found" where we had them and tore into the bag and left 2 only because she got caught! 😉Anyway, highly recommend them, good, healthy treat for your kitty!

My cats LOVE these. Kinda pricy for the amount, especially since I have 3 cats so I keep these as special treats although I was hoping to be able to add one to each of their meals every day. There's some bigger fish in the bag that I kinda wish they were on the smaller side, just so I could get more fishes in the bag rather than less with bigger fish. But again, I have 3 cats. If you have one cat it would be way better.

Buyers beware: these freeze-dried minnows are not just treats — they are a gateway snack to feline felonies.I bought these thinking, "Oh how cute, a healthy little snack for my sweet baby kittens." What I actually purchased was the catalyst to a full-blown Ocean's Eleven-style heist.My household has two masterminds-in-fur: one older cat with Olympic-level vertical jumps, and a younger kitten who could probably crack a biometric safe with a twist-tie and three seconds. Together? Unstoppable.I came home from the simple task of dropping off my kids at school — just 20 minutes tops — and walked into what I can only describe as Minnow Mayhem™. The older cat had scaled the high kitchen cabinets (where we thought the treats were safely hidden), then yeeted the bag down like some sort of loot drop to his partner in crime. My younger kitten, already waiting like a furry gremlin, had the bag ripped open in a time span that made me question the laws of physics.In the 15 steps it took for me to reach the kitchen, the job was done. The bag was open. The minnows were being inhaled. And me? I made the mistake of trying to intervene.That's when my younger kitten unlocked their final form: Feral Flash™. I reached for the bag and suddenly — BAM — a blur of paws, a flurry of crunches, and then… silence. Except for the sound of tiny, dried fish raining across my floor like a seafood apocalypse.My kitchen looked like Poseidon's pantry exploded.So yes — five stars. Absolutely delicious, apparently. But guard these with your life. Store them in a biometric safe. Possibly a bank vault. Because once your cats get a taste, they will stop at nothing. They will find them. They will open them. And they will eat them like furry piranhas at a Vegas buffet.Don’t be like me. Protect yourself. Protect your minnows.

Amazing treats. All my cats go absolutely bonkers for these, even the finicky one. Maybe a little bit expensive but you get what you pay for.

only treat my cat has ever gone crazy for and i feel even better feeding them to him knowing there's only one ingredient, freeze dried duck liver. this is the first treat i have found that i know i will have to keep stocked at the house lol. i love the smell, they smell exactly how you think they would. i have tried a piece, and it tasted exactly like how it should- like liver. cannot recommend enough to picky-cat owners as my kitty has never once turned down a piece. i do have to say though, i wish there was a bigger bag size available and i do wish the pieces were bigger. as you get towards the end of the bag there are lots of crumbles and dust, which is why i unfortunately cannot rate this product a 5/5 despite how much i love it. overall, great product.
