With no fruits, vegetables, or fillers, this raw dog food provides naturally occurring nutrients that help support digestion, healthy skin, a shiny coat, strong teeth, and lean muscle development. Freeze dried to remove moisture while preserving flavor and nutrition; this freeze dried dog food offers a convenient alternative to traditional dry dog food kibble, air dried dog food, or gently cooked dog food. The crunchy mini nibs format locks in taste and texture while making it easy to serve at home or on the go. Feeding raw is simple and flexible—serve as a complete and balanced meal or use as a dog food topper or mixer with kibble or wet dog food to boost nutrition and flavor. Start by adding a small amount to your dog’s current routine and build from there; even adding 20% raw can make a meaningful difference. The bite sized format also works well for automatic feeders and everyday feeding routines. Available in a variety of single-protein and multi-protein recipes, Vital Essentials makes it easy to rotate proteins, support picky eaters, and add variety to your dog’s bowl while delivering minimally processed nutrition at every life stage. Made in North America’s largest freeze-drying facility for pet food with responsibly sourced ingredients and rigorous quality standards, Vital Essentials makes it simple to feed raw—because real nutrition starts with what dogs are built to eat.

Each and every Vital Essentials product is made in our very own facility located in Wisconsin. Our manufacturing facility proudly carries the Global Food Safety Initiative FSC22000 Certification and is EU and Gluten-Free certified. **Q: Why should I wash my hands after handling raw freeze dried food?** A: The FDA recommends washing your hands after handing any raw food, including freeze-dried pet foods. **Q: Is it normal for raw freeze dried food to have an aroma?** A: Yes! Since our foods are made with high levels of meat, you can expect the food to have a meaty aroma. Some proteins have a more noticeable aroma than others. **Q: What if my pet has tummy issues after eating raw freeze dried food?** A: Any change in diet comes with a chance of digestive upset. This is why we recommend a slow transition over the course of 5-7 days when changing your pet's food! This helps give your dog or cat plenty of time to adjust to his or her new diet. **Q: What if my pet doesn't like his new food or treat?** A: We're confident that your pet will LOVE Vital Essentials, but all animals have preferences! If the first product you try isn't a hit with your dog or cat, we offer a wide variety of proteins and textures that we're sure will be a great fit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ chicken toppers *by K***M on June 6, 2026* great food toppers & works for treats as well :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A favorite *by T***E on April 7, 2026* Great price.
