Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Raw Pork Meal or Mixer Cat Food Crunchy Nibs, 12 oz

This review has been dictated to me by my cat: Greetings and Salutations! I would like to tell you how pleased I am with your Product. It is just crunchy enough without being too hard. And it has a nice rabbit smell that is not gamey and off-putting (like some other brand. But I digress, my Human was buying the "Rabbit Bites" which were softer and airier, BUT came in such small portions! I would get extremely peeved when she would run out of them. You see the are 2 other cats in this domicile other than myself and a tiny bag of bites does not go far. The portion size on the packaging of The Rabbit Entree Crunchy Bites is considerably larger, tastes just as lovely and saves my human money. Not that I care, as long as I get my "Bunny Bunny" and lots of affection and affermation, then I am content. The Bag has a nice crinkle sound to it and is easy for my human to open and hold. I am sure this will last us much longer than those smaller bags of bites did. Don't think for a moment they will get the chance to go stale, so longevity is something I can not give an opinion on. As for Health I have been feeling spry, vigorous, fiesty and rather handsome if I don't say so myself. I would greatly appreciate you continuing to make this product. I would be quite outraged if you discontinued it. Best Regards, Henry 3rd Earl of Grey, Esq, Rn, Cat

The cats loved this and it is good for their belly... But I bought some last month in the 12oz bag for $36 bucks and now it's $48 for the same bag. I'm out.

Both our cats love Vital Essentials - their regular kibble now includes Freeze Dried Raw Chicken, Turkey and Pork Crunchy Nibs. They used to be on Nulo and Reveal kibbles (on top of their wet food diet - they are both extremely picky eaters), ever since I mixed in Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Nibs into their diet, our formal feral kitty Tangy stopped eating the regular kibble and only would eat these. It's quite expensive compared to other cat foods not gonna lie but the quality makes it worth the money.

My two Maine Coons are kinda picky when it comes to flavor and texture but they always look forward to treat time when these nibs are in the treat mix. Plus they're much healthier than the grocery story variety garbage treats! Good value for the money I believe! Texture of soft pebbles, still crunchy, with little smell. Two paws up!

I buy the soft nibs version of this product. My cats go bonkers over that one. I like to crush it and sprinkle it over there raw food for extra protein and taste. It also helped transition my cats from dry to raw. I love that it is soft and pliable, making it versatile for any meal. I know some people complained about the size and their cats couldn't eat it, but I think it is better as a topper. You can also soak it in water if you prefer wet over dry. With all the success I have with that version, I decided to give this a go. I can see the appeal for people who wanted a smaller, crunchier version for their cats, but this was not a hit with mine. Some of them didn't want to chew it, had difficulty chewing, or had no interest whatsoever. I was hoping they would like the crunch since they used to eat dry and or give them variety. But nope. They want their soft nibs! Both are good products. A little pricey, but worth it for your fur babies! The ingredients are great, with meat as the main factor, with only one filler as a preservative. Which is huge when comparing this to other brands. Overall, I am quite happy with this the other version of this product and it has become a staple in my household.

Great! My boys are picky and don’t like the soft and puffy freeze-dried food. This crunchy option is somewhat approved by them! I mix it in a mason jar with kibble which helps with the flavor I think. They’re eating it! I was worried they’d pick around it but not so far YAY (My boys are wet food eaters but we do small portions of kibble at night)

This brand & product is absolutely one of the best health choices for cats regarding kibble. We are leaning out of kibble due to all of the more recent information about the crucial importance of water content for the cats. But our cats still want that kibble! And this is, in my opinion, the best brand, in regard to high quality nutritional value. BUT….. I had to go to another brand because the cost this company is setting, is ridiculous! So what I try to do is get this occasionally and try to find deals when I can. When I first found this company, over a year ago, we purchased a great deal of kibble and other snacks from this maker but it was costing us a fortune. It’s very sad that companies get greedy, especially concerning health Products. Hopefully they will find a balance. Hopefully they care about their customers and about fur friends, and will get these prices down. I don’t know if they realize how hard it is on people when we are trying to make healthy choices not only for ourselves but also for our sweet fur babies, to get out of the old cycles of toxic food. When companies charge ridiculous amounts, in my opinion, they are not holding their responsibilities in a fully honorable way. They are doing the task of creating healthy products and I understand the cost in that, but integrity is also a part of this. The other product we have decided to move to and have tested with great success is the Nulo brand. Their kibble was seriously 1/5 of the price for twice as much. This speaks a great deal to what I am saying!!

My picky cats favorite treats!!! He begs for these things!!
