Real Pet Stories

“My Vital Essentials fed dog, Kouga, WON THE HOUND GROUP at a recent dog show!  The judge commented on how shiny his coat is and his great condition!!! I credited Vital Essentials and his genes!  Thanks for making a kick a** product!”

“Captain Cowboy has a sensitive stomach.  He eats whatever is in front of him, but then he’ll show me he ate it by distributing it all over the house.  The Vital Essentials Duck and Rabbit blend not only has never yielded an upchuck response, but he eats it with such enthusiasm and vigor it’s obvious he’s loving every bite!  It is definitely our favorite food!”

-Emmy

“Hi, my name is Beejay and I live in Arizona with my mom and dad.  I’m five years old and I love, love, love my Vital Essentials Mini Patties Beef Entrees and Tripe Treats.  My patties are sooooo good and make me feel great!  Everybody says I look like a puppy!”

“I have been feeding raw since 1995 or before. I am a breeder of Boston Terriers. I feel my AKC Best in Show was due to the raw diet and the life raw gives the pets. Back then it was not easy to get the food so I made it myself. Use to hand grind frozen chicken with my grandmother’s hand grinder. Life has gotten better with people like you making it up for us. And now with the freeze dried traveling to the shows will be also.”

Vital Essentials Frozen entrees give our dogs the best coats, teeth, and muscle condition needed to healthy and young while enjoying all the activities they do! The energy they have from eating this great food is incredible! We highly recommend Vital Essential products to all our customers.”

“When we started on the food he was so lethargic and now has lots of energy. Also he has lots of allergies and as you can see in the pictures where he is on his back his stomach has the dark on it. It really has cleared up it used to be totally black and the fur was not growing the same thing on his feet…black and no fur and now it is filling in. Of course he loves his Vital Essentials.”

-Sandy

“With 8 years’ experience as a washed-up Cascades climber trekking and climbing the Washington Cascades with an idefatigable Welsh corgi, climbing 8,000+’ peaks and challenging cross-country routes, I’d say the Vital Essentials 100% raw freeze-dried nibblets is my favorite backcountry dog food. Low-odor and low crumbs, and this is important since dog food is basically bear bait. Easy to dispense, doesn’t crumble easily. LIghtweight. Nice product. Backpackers and climbers are demanding gear freaks. Contact REI and tell them I sent you. Really; lots of backpackers hike with their dogs, and this is an excellent low-weight freeze-dried product. I found it at All the Best in Seattle.”
