Review: Offering a wide variety of foods is a big part of the cats diet here at camp kitty, but having as many cats as we do each with their own likes and dislikes, it’s nice to find a product they will all eat regularly. These turkey entree patties are the first ones we’ve tried and it’s been great. We’re curious about trying the others like the chicken ones. The smell wasn’t off putting at all, even after rehydrating. I would describe it like an earthy smell. The size of the patties is a perfect portion for our heard of cats and the texture is the perfect in between. Hard enough that they mostly kept their shape but soft enough to easily break down with your hands before rehydrating. We can definitely tell some of our kitties love the taste more than others, but everyone’s definitely given it a try. I think the quality is pretty decent, although I did find some hard bits at times when breaking down the patty. But none of the bits have been sharp or concerning, they seem normal considering what the product is. Overall we’re happy with these freeze dried patties and excited to try the chicken ones. We greatly appreciate the brands transparency on everything like manufacturing and sourcing, and that the information wasn't hard to find. That’s really something we appreciate a lot with the Vital Essentials brand. Definitely give this product a try especially if you’ve got some poultry loving kitties like we do! If you’ve only got 1-2 cats give the smaller size bag a try first, but for our 7+ kitty crew we needed the biggest bag and it lasted us about 3 weeks. This product is not the only thing we feed them but we’ve been feeding it daily. I would say 1-2 patties a day between all of them plus several other foods. We’ve not seen any negative effects from incorporating it into their diet this regularly. This will likely become a good staple product we purchase often for them. Review: Nova loves these. ## Features - FREEZE-DRIED RAW RABBIT CAT FOOD: Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Cat Food packs more protein than industry standard into every bite to deliver the peak vitality your cat deserves, especially when compared to dehydrated cat food.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***S on 2 February 2026* Offering a wide variety of foods is a big part of the cats diet here at camp kitty, but having as many cats as we do each with their own likes and dislikes, it’s nice to find a product they will all eat regularly.
