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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The product is so good!!! *by R***R on 7 October 2025* My kitten loves this with his wet-food 😍 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Treat I Keep Buying Again *by J***N on 4 July 2026* I’ve purchased these freeze-dried minnows multiple times, and they have become one of my cat’s favorite treats. The ingredients are simple, and the fish are a good size for rewarding or treating throughout the day. My cat recognizes the bag right away and gets excited every time. The quality has been consistent across the bags I’ve purchased, which is one of the reasons I continue to reorder them. Overall, this has been a reliable treat that my cat enjoys, and I plan to keep buying it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect, clean, single ingredient healthy treat. Picky cat approved!! *by D***0 on 24 April 2026* I love serving clean, single ingredient, raw, high quality treats to my cat. Instead of giving her "candy," i prefer to supplement her diet with novel treats that she absolutely loves!! Be prepared that these look like what they are: raw, dead, dried tiny fish. They are delightfully crunchy, with the perfect dead fish aroma for my cat. My cat is picky. She LOVES these!! I love the quality and the value. You get a huge number of treats in each bag. What more can you ask as a pet parent? I am thrilled i found these. I have reordered them and recommended them to many people. I have bought other brands that seem "stale" and not as crunchy with strange color. These are consistently crunchy, they can be broken into smaller pieces and the smell doesn't linger on my hands. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vital Essentials Minnows Cat Treats, 1 oz | Freeze-Dried Raw | Single Ingredient | Grain Free, Gluten Free, Filler Free - Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Cat Treats, Rabbit Bites, 0.9 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/718426801-vital-essentials-freeze-dried-minnows-cat-treats-single-ingredient-premium](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/718426801-vital-essentials-freeze-dried-minnows-cat-treats-single-ingredient-premium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
