Healthy snack…Who da thought… Great for my Bella !!!
I hope they’re as healthy as you say because my kitty loves them. She eats them broken up but sometimes will chew on a piece. She knows they’re a “snack” and knows what’s in that little brown packet too, lol. I read everything. It all sounds good and makes sense that cats are hunters and this is a great sample of just that but healthier than a live animal. Yuck… The quality is good and chewable for any cat. I’m going to keep buying them.

My cat, Tiana’s, absolute Favorite!!!
My cat Loves these treats!!! Turns out, my dog and African Grey also Loves these treats!!! ❤️ I know they’re a little more expensive, but there’s a lot of minnows in the bag. It’s great if you just use 2 or 3 for special things. My cat now comes when I call her (without treats) after using 1 everytime she came when called! Oh, my cat (and dog) also Love the chicken and salmon treats, minnows are their favorite 😍!

Cat loves it!
My cat absolutely loves these treats! He enjoys munching on them and I put it in his interactive toys for mental stimulation. The minnows can be a little stinky but about what I would expect from a fish snack. I feel good about the quality of these treats too. While Churu works well, I worry about what is in it and how it may effect him long term.

Great for picky kitties
Ever since I got my cat he wouldn’t eat any treats except churus until I bought these! He’s so obsessed with these now that the second I walk into the room they are in my cat comes running and meowing.

6 months & under may have a time eating bigger pieces.
The shorthair mixed kitten liked them immediately. The Siamese eats them after looking at it for a bit and the Bombay girl didn’t like them at all. I think this a good treat because its natural and not just another kibble style treat.

A big hit with both cats and dogs!
These Vital Essentials Chicken Breast Cat Treats were an instant favorite—not just with the cats but with the dogs too. They’re made with simple, high-quality ingredients and have a texture pets love. Perfect as a reward or a special snack. A great, healthy treat option that clearly passes the taste test!

Best pet treats on the market!!
My cat LOVES these treats! The quality of ingredients is amazing, and I love it when the first ingredient is the protein, not some by-product. The price point is always great, and I love not having to sacrifice a good deal for a quality pet treat! All in all, I recommend this product AND this brand to anyone with pets, dogs, or cats!

fishies for kitties
my one cat LOVES these already. they look super odd considering it’s a whole fish with eyes and fins and everything, but i like that because you can tell it’s not made of anything else. i will say though, these are pretty big and hard to chew so i will have to cut them up in the future but i can’t hate if my kitties like them

I gave my 2 cats this for the first time last week. At first they were very sceptical of the treats as they’ve never had them before but both of them LOVED it after staring at it for a bit. I am going to cut each treat in 2 from now on though (there are not a lot in the packaging) to try to make them last longer. This is not a big deal at all considering how big the treats are. I WILL be purchasing this again.

Way better ingredients than the garbage cat treats. I use it as a topper for my wet food and the cats loved it. Even my picky one!

Cats favourite, they coming running the second the bag is opened. One ingredient so it’s a no brainer.
