## Description

Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Chicken Cat Food Mini Nibs is a high protein, grain free cat food made with 96% chicken, organs, and bone to support the natural diet of obligate carnivores. This freeze dried cat food helps preserve the real meat aroma and flavor cats instinctively recognize—helping entice picky eaters, reduce food boredom, and encourage consistent eating. The light, crunchy mini nibs provide a satisfying texture that mimics natural feeding behavior, creating a more engaging eating experience than traditional dry cat food or kibble. With meat-first nutrition, it supports digestion, strong teeth, a healthy coat, and overall wellness. Serve as a complete and balanced meal or use as a cat food topper or mixer with dry or wet cat food to add variety and nutrition to your cat’s routine. Many cat parents choose to pair freeze-dried raw food with wet food as part of a mixed feeding approach that introduces raw nutrition while maintaining familiar feeding habits. The bite-sized format also works well in automatic feeders, offering a convenient way to provide raw nutrition throughout the day. Start by adding a small amount and build from there—even a little raw can help support long-term health and more moments together. Available in a variety of protein options, Vital Essentials makes it easy to rotate recipes, support finicky felines, and add variety to your cat’s dish 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—so you can feel confident in what you’re serving every day.

Review: My cats love it - This food is so fresh that my one of my cats thinks it’s alive! Let me explain. If I give her regular kibble, she just eats it. However, when I put this freeze dried food into her bowl, she picks out a piece and then bats it around for about five minutes before pouncing on it and eating it. I find a few random pieces when cleaning, but other than that, I find it amusing and I will continue to purchase this food so she can continue to practice her hunt. My other cat is lazy and just gobbles it down without hunting or killing it first. :-)
Review: Good stuff - Really good product. Single ingredient dry treats . My cats love it . Its way healthier than alot of the processed cat treats out there.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is raw freeze-dried food safe for my pet?**
A: Absolutely. 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.
