Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food, Turkey Crunchy Mini Nibs | Complete Meal or Mixer | High Protein Dog Food | 14 oz

I’m subscribed to this product because my dog absolutely loves it. The taste is clearly a hit - he gets excited whether I serve it as a treat, mix it with kibble, use it as a meal topper for human-grade food, or feed it as a full meal.The nib size is the perfect size, bigger than traditional kibble but manageable, and the texture is crunchy but not too hard - not as hard as kibble, which is great for older dogs or smaller breeds. The food quality is excellent, and I feel good knowing it supports his health with clean, raw ingredients.Though it’s marketed for dogs, I’ve seen many mention that cats love it too. The versatility, high-quality ingredients, and consistent freshness make this a staple in our home.

This is an all natural product and our Alaskan Eskimo puppy loves it. It is a bit pricey, but its better for our pup. We gave up milkbones and this company has various treats for cats and dogs.

It's healthy and my doggies love it. I use it for treats

I’ve been using these for years and love what they provide for my dogs. Definitely benefit them in the long run. These treats I mainly use for training purposes because high reward and they know when they’re behaving well.

I'm amazed how much the pups like this. It's crunchy and appears to be high quality, I'm using it as a food topper. It's a bit pricey but hopefully it's healthy for them.

In short: the dogs like it, but they prefer the soft nibs over these dense nibs.We don't use these as a main meal, nor at every meal, but as part of the dinner menu. My dogs enjoy a post dinner treat toy. Sometimes I add "treats", sometimes it is their regular kibble mixed with treats. But that doesnt go over real well, haha.. So usually it is just an assortment of healthy treats. Amount is taken into consideration so as not to give them too much.Not long ago I had the opportunity to try Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Duck Entree & Mixer Dog Food Soft Nibs (free isnt free) which I used as a kibble topper. Then it occurred to me that this would make for a perfect treat toy filler as they really seemed to like it as a "treat" yet it would provide them all the nutrition. I was curious to try other flavors, so I ordered this beef. I now see that the other ones are a soft nub (like a compressed powder that can easily be pinched into powder if sprinkling over food) and these are a more compact lightly crunchy nib. Not hard, but they are hard in comparison to the other.My dogs prefer the soft nibs, but will also eat this. Perhaps they just prefer the duck flavor.Not sure if this will be a repurchase for us, but I know the other kind will be.Good product worth trying. I don't rate on price. You will have to decide if this suits your budget or not.

We have a 15 year old chihuahua and recently got a new heeler puppy, yes we’re crazy lol. The new puppy is of course always hungry due to how much energy she burns. Well we wanted to get her off to a healthier start and get our older chihuahua back to being more energetic, yes knowing he is an old man lol. We are now 6 months into this food topper, we mix with Wild Red (Red Meat Blend) and have noticed a significant change in both dogs. Coats are healthier, more energy, and overall healthier. We were feeding our puppy twice a day, once in AM and once at PM. When we switched over, a few days in, she wouldn’t really eat in the morning. We changed to once at night and now she eats all of her food! Dogs need a high protein diet and high protein means being more full so we know it’s great food for both of them. Our senior dog gets excited about dinner now! Highly recommend with no nasty byproducts!

I use these Vital Essentials nibs for a low calorie treat for my dog. The quality and ingredients are high quality, and the price is very reasonable compared to typical dog "treats". Before walking my pups, I put a handful in my pocket. I really like that they don't stain your clothes or break up into small pieces. My vet office also uses these for "treats", which I think is great.
