  • Healthy snack...Who da thought... Great for my Bella !!!
Flavor Name: Chicken Hearts Size: 0.8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I hope they're as healthy as you say because my kitty loves them. She eats them broken up but sometimes will chew on a piece. She knows they're a "snack" and knows what's in that little brown packet too, lol. I read everything. It all sounds good and makes sense that cats are hunters and this is a great sample of just that but healthier than a live animal. Yuck... The quality is good and chewable for any cat. I'm going to keep buying them. ... show more

  • My cat, Tiana's, absolute Favorite!!!
Flavor Name: Minnows Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My cat Loves these treats!!! Turns out, my dog and African Grey also Loves these treats!!! ❤️ I know they're a little more expensive, but there's a lot of minnows in the bag. It's great if you just use 2 or 3 for special things. My cat now comes when I call her (without treats) after using 1 everytime she came when called! Oh, my cat (and dog) also Love the chicken and salmon treats, minnows are their favorite 😍! ... show more

  • Healthy and addicting
Flavor Name: Minnows Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My cats go bananas for these treats, and I have one who can be kind of picky and he loves them! They tried to chew through the bag the one time I forgot to put it back in the cabinet, but they couldn’t get in, so that’s nice, too haha.

  • Like tossing a tiny fish to a tiny predator
Flavor Name: Minnows Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Okay, so I gave these freeze-dried minnows to my cat, and wow—instant obsession. They're literally just tiny fish, no weird ingredients or mystery powders. Crunchy, fishy, and apparently delicious (at least according to the very enthusiastic munching noises). I like that they’re made in the U.S. Plus, they’re kind of fun to give—like tossing a tiny fish to a tiny predator. If your cat’s into fish, these are a win. Just be prepared for some serious begging once they get a taste.🐟🐱 ... show more

  • Cat loves it!
Flavor Name: Minnows Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My cat absolutely loves these treats! He enjoys munching on them and I put it in his interactive toys for mental stimulation. The minnows can be a little stinky but about what I would expect from a fish snack. I feel good about the quality of these treats too. While Churu works well, I worry about what is in it and how it may effect him long term. ... show more

  • Smaller bag, but the chicken hearts are fairly big and can be cut up into several pieces.
Flavor Name: Chicken Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My Bengal-mix kitty has never been a huge treat fan, she'll eat Greenies, but sometimes ignores them and turns her nose up at most wet foods regardless of quality, flavor or type. Only treats she really likes are Churu or Catit squeeze pouches, which aren't something I want to give her more than once a day. So I recently decided to try a few different Vital Essentials treat bags for my super finicky cat (also didn't want to buy treats that were loaded or processed with fillers and junk). She had no idea what to do with the fish minnows, she'd rather play with them, the plain freeze-dried chicken chunks were edible but nothing sensational and didn't spark any cravings. But these chickens hearts ... WINNER WINNER chicken dinner !! She actually comes running for these (pic: yeah she's on the counter, it's safe and clean). Tried the smaller bag because they're a bit spendy $$, thankfully the hearts are pretty large so I'm able to cut one into about 6-8 smaller pieces. I also recently picked up a new kitten, he loves the minnows so they won't go to waste, and of course he loves the chicken hearts too. Excellent tasty treats. ... show more
