Finally a Full Nutritional Profile 4 a Dog Who Usually Thinks Eating is Too Much Work to Do Daily
This is an exceptionally well-rounded source of protein and essential minerals. Unlike most brands that rely solely on muscle meat—which often loses nutrients during processing—this formula includes the benefits of organ meat, bone, and connective tissue. I love that its freeze dried there are no fillers or artificial flavors. Most importantly, it passed the ultimate test: my picky poodle loves it!

Matilda absolutely loves the raw beef treats
My pup Matilda is incredibly picky with food and treats- but she absolutely loves these. They're the perfect size her - she's small at 15lbs. They seem high quality - I haven't tried them so I can't really attest to that. We've tried the beef and the duck - both seem to be equally well liked. Highly recommend if you have a picky dog. We use them mainly for treats, but we have used them as a meal replacement in a pinch.

Great small treat for an American Bully
These and the green tripe are my dog’s favorite walking treats. They are just the right size to keep motivation going without thinking about calories.

Great option for auto feeder while away for cats that eat only raw meat
Life saver! I hadn't spent a night apart from the felines in many years, and finally needed to go to a family function out of town, and these helped me do it! I got a couple auto feeders that I could set a few times a day, and this great freeze-dried formula was a not-too-processed version of freeze dried raw beef that is the right size to come down the "kibble" chute in a pretty predictable way. Plus, wow do the cats go crazy for it. I've used it a couple times to round out when I forgot to thaw the raw in time, and they get soooo excited for it. I keep it in the fridge, because I'm in the heat of the desert and the ants know it, so the teeny brown ants that can move through anything of course had begun to infest the feeders but when I put the leftovers in the fridge didn't see any of them. Bonus is that it gets crunchier in the fridge (and I'm sure helps it from going rancid with the high oil content in the heat).

Easy-to-use
Kwinn my Shih Tzu loves this food a eats it right up! I add it to his wet food. No stomach issues and high quality made in the U.S.A. It's a little pricey but he only eats 1/4 to 1/3 cup a day so it actually goes pretty far.

food topper, treat toy filler, reward snack, or main meal
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.

Healthy product 4 sure
One of my Yorkies enjoy it but the other not so much but it's good for them, little pricey but I want my boys to remain healthy.. Some pieces are little big but I'll break it in half.. I tried it, it's okay, I don't care for the after taste..My wife did her homework on this product so if she's ordering it,then it's the right move,all I can say.. Please send discounts once in a while.. One more thing,we mix it with the same food they grew up with so it's only small portions at a time... There's no scent, it's not stinky and easy to chew..

Smelled foul and the dog wouldn’t eat it. I used to feed my dog this in the U.S. Wasn’t the same quality. Bought Coya brand instead. The pup loved it and it wasn’t such a harsh transition since 80% of the make up was the same.
