LIFE ESSENTIALS All Natural Freeze Dried Wild Alaskan Salmon Crunchies Treats for Dogs - Single Ingredient Grain Free Snack with No Additives or Preservatives, 5 Ounce Bag

Just Salmon!

I bought this because it was a bit cheaper than their other products, only to find out they were made for dogs, [so it figures that it was cheaper🤔]. It’s a single ingredient product, so it doesn’t matter who you give it to. What I like about these is the larger size - about ¼” cubed. I use them as a dental treats, since they are large enough to force my cats to actually chew on them, rather than swallowing them whole, the way other dental treats allow. Of my 4 cats, only 1, a wedgie with a narrow face, needs me to cut the treat in half, which is easy to do. Overall, these are clean treats without pieces of hard, inedible skin.

I’m a freeze dried salmon connoisseur thanks to my cats, ground up various brands and these grind way easier because they’re expanding them somehow. I love how easy they are to grind but they are less salmon than meets the eye. When priced at 9.99, it’s my favorite brand but when they try to increase then I switch. Hopefully, they continue the product at the same price, chewy charges over $20 and I will NEVER buy it from them. Again, awesome product, my cats enjoy it but they also enjoy other brands like wholehearted and I can get a 9 oz bag of salmon for dogs for under $30 and make almost 3 batches of salmon where this bag only grinds down to ONE BATCH but I do enjoy that it is less work to grind it up but not worth paying more than $9.99. I will continue buying this product and recommend it to others, even have a recipe to share but won’t post till product available again

Too hard for small dogs to eat. They enjoyed the ones I crushed.

The media could not be loaded. I've been purchasing Life Essentials by Catmandoo salmon treats for my cats for years, and have always been happy with them and so have my cats. However, I will never, ever, ever buy them again! It's too late to return them; however, I'm still going to reach out to the seller to express my dissatisfaction.As you can see in the video I took, these are so hard that they would probably break a cat or a dog's teeth just by trying to chew them. Soaking them even in hot water and letting them sit for a couple of minutes still does not make them a texture that would be easy to chew. My cats (rightfully so) have zero interest in eating them and thus, I've wasted my money. In an attempt to see if I could break them up a little bit, I put them in a baggie, rolled over them with a rolling pin and that didn't even work. I cannot explain in words how hard these sucker's are. I wouldn't recommend them.It's possible I got a bad batch and if I did, and the seller offers me a replacement, I'll gladly update this review. Otherwise, I would NOT buy them again, nor will I recommend them to anyone. Beware!

My dog loves them. I crunch up a few as a topper for her meals.

My dogs and cat go crazy for these. They love them.

These treats resulted in major vomiting by my cat. I stopped providing them after two days, and the vomiting stopped. She has been eating Wildside Salmon treats for several years with no issue.
