Review: Great treat for the kitty - My cat has been fed the same food pretty much since being a kitten. She gets the some greenies in the morning, and then a dried chicken treat when I come home from work. I came across this brand when my previous brand went unavailable for some reason. It had great reviews so I figured I would try it. First thing I noticed was the construction of the "nibs". I guess these are for larger animals maybe. So I break a couple in half and give them to my cat. Second thing I noticed was how intact they all were. No more dust and broken bits filling the bottom of the bag. Also, love the quality ingredients. At first she was confused as they were not the normal style I give her. But she eventually came around to eating them and loves them. I will probably stick with this brand as they seem easier to get, and this huge bag will last longer. Review: GOOOD - Vital essential can never go, do be mindful there are dried bones in some pieces but, they already mentioned and is really big so I see it I think vital essential has really great ingredients. That’s why I always buy it. The quality top. I’d say it worth the money because it’s real meat and fresh. I do like the crunchy ones better cause the soft nipples are almost just like the squares and really soft.

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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great treat for the kitty *by A***D on February 26, 2026* My cat has been fed the same food pretty much since being a kitten.

That’s why I always buy it. The quality top. I’d say it worth the money because it’s real meat and fresh. I do like the crunchy ones better cause the soft nipples are almost just like the squares and really soft. Smells like meat ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cat loved it, but teeny tiny bone fragments in it *by C***N on March 20, 2026* So my cat really likes this. A whole lot more than Stella and chewys freeze dried but this one is a tad more expensive per ounce and like others have mentioned, there are a little tiny bone fragments in it. It kind of concerned me a bit. Only because they were like sharp needles just not as long. And if you are used to crumbling them up a bit before adding water, you need to be careful because they can poke you. But don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t an excessive amount of bone fragments. But I want to mention it in case it might concern another buyer. With all that being said my cat absolutely love this food. My cat did not have any trouble eating it, but the thought of the tiny pieces of bone will probably keep me from purchasing it again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Beef & Chicken Entree & Mixer Cat Food Soft Nibs, 12 oz - Vital Essentials Minnows Cat Treats, 0.5 oz | Freeze-Dried Raw | Single Ingredient | Grain Free, Gluten Free, Filler Free - Vital Essentials® Freeze-Dried Raw Chicken Entree & Mixer Cat Food Crunchy Nibs, 12 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/704865524-vital-essentials-freeze-dried-cat-food-beef-and-chicken-nibs](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/704865524-vital-essentials-freeze-dried-cat-food-beef-and-chicken-nibs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
