They are real organs, wet inside, might not be for everyone
Just got these. For anyone wondering, they are real organs. They were way too big for my kitten, so I had to chop them up. He really loves freeze dried treats (I use them as toppers for his food). He loves his minnows and he absolutely loved this. I did have to cut them up. I did it with my hands, though, and they are a bit wet on the inside, so I suggest cutting them with a knife. The only downside is the bag is really small and there aren't many inside - but I found the bigger bag for the dog treats is exactly the same and worth the cost. We have a corgi too, so I'll have to see if he likes them as well when the rest of my family are back from camping. I like to get treats they can share.

My cats know a premium product when they smell it!
This brand of treats is superior to other brands, including the economy pack I bought at my local pet store. Somehow this brand makes the minnow tender rather than chewy and sinuous. But the most important factor for my picky kitties is the flavor. These must smell better too because they don't reject them like they reject bulk bags of dried minnows. It's definitely a premium product and my cats seem to know it!

My cat’s favorite treat
Every morning before I leave the house, my cat eagerly waits in the kitchen for his daily Vital Essentials Minnow. It’s become our little ritual, and he absolutely looks forward to it. These treats are made from a single ingredient…whole freeze-dried minnows which means they’re free from fillers, grains, and artificial additives. I feel great knowing I’m giving him something natural and healthy.  The treats are lightweight and not greasy, making them easy to handle. Plus, they don’t have a strong odor, which is a bonus for me. My cat loves the crunch, and I appreciate that they’re high in protein and support his overall health. It’s clear these are a hit in our household, and I’ll definitely continue to keep them stocked!

Favorite cat treats!
My cats love there’s treats!! They are their favorite! I get two packs shipped to me every month! I typically cut the hearts in half depending on size. As soon as I open the drawer in where the treats are kept the cats, know “time for chicky hearts” and they always come running!! Highly recommended.

Worth the try in my opinion! - Minnows
1 out of my 5 loved the minnows! I have 2 kittens going to new homes ( 1 of those is the one that **loves** the minnows) and 3 adult cats. The 1 kitten is crazy about them! The rest (1 kitten and 3 adults) are not too sure... I would reccomend these as long as A) it's affordable to you. Or B) you have a friend/family/neighbor to give them as a 'kitty present' *just* in case your own kitty doesn't take to them. If they do, you won't be disappointed! I think its worth the try to be honest. I just held them and used my thumb nail to break them into 1/3 or 1/4 (depending on size). Unless your kitty is fully grown and sorta wild, I would reccomend breaking them up. Plus it releases a different smell that may entice them. I gave a 4 star because it's my first night trying them and the reaction that we recieved from the 1 kitten was well worth the money! Who knows.. the others may beg for them tomorrow!

Kitten loves these
My kitten goes crazy for these! I toss one to her and she plays with it, bats it around the floor and pounces, then devours it, eventually. Older cat likes them on occasion but he’s become finicky since the kitten arrived, he used to devour them too! I’m sure he’ll come back around.

My picky cat loves them
These are really weird and kind of throws to think about. But if you get past that, your cat will love them. My picky cat inhales it. I do cut it up in small pieces though as it’s a little tough.

my picky old man LOVES these!
only treat my cat has ever gone crazy for and i feel even better feeding them to him knowing there's only one ingredient, freeze dried duck liver. this is the first treat i have found that i know i will have to keep stocked at the house lol. i love the smell, they smell exactly how you think they would. i have tried a piece, and it tasted exactly like how it should- like liver. cannot recommend enough to picky-cat owners as my kitty has never once turned down a piece. i do have to say though, i wish there was a bigger bag size available and i do wish the pieces were bigger. as you get towards the end of the bag there are lots of crumbles and dust, which is why i unfortunately cannot rate this product a 5/5 despite how much i love it. overall, great product.
