## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is raw freeze-dried food safe for my pet?**
A: Absolutely. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life saving food
*by C***. on October 13, 2024*

My cat is absolutely obsessed with the turkey nibs! She's 17 years old and earlier this year she was diagnosed with IBD and pancreatitis. She was throwing up all the time, she stopped eating, and it seemed like we were at the end. I kicked myself for not transitioning her to a raw diet when she was younger because I knew all of the problems she was having were from her diet. I prayed for one more shot to turn things around and that's when I discovered freeze-dried raw! My cat is stopped vomiting, is back up to a healthy weight and she truly LOVES her food again. She's also got way more energy and is back to having zoomies every night again. I'm so grateful that I tear up thinking about it all the time. If you're on the fence about transitioning your cat to freeze-dried raw, try this! Especially the turkey! My cat is SO picky and she is in love with it.
