Cat Stories

Scout is the pickiest eater; she refuses to eat any wet food and only eats a small amounts of her dry food. I switched her over the Vital Essentials Frozen Mini Patties, in hopes that she would like a healthier alternative to her current food. It took a few days for her to get used to the different food, but now she loves it. She is actually eating her food and hasn’t had any stomach issues since switching to Vital Essentials. Also, Her coat is looking much healthier. I’m so happy I switched her to Vital Essentials because I know she’s eating a healthier diet.  -Samantha

Thanks Vital Essentials for making high quality products my cats love and this momma can trust. This was our first time trying the prepared kitty raw diet. My crew was crying for me to hurry as soon as I opened the bag of Turkey Mini Patties. My kitties devoured those patties like they hadn’t eaten in weeks. I caved and gave everyone an extra portion! I love watching my beloved cats enjoy life. – James

We adopted Ivy and Ella from the same foster home when they were 4 and 5 months old. As soon as we brought them home, we began transitioning them to a Vital Essentials raw food diet. It didn’t take much transitioning though because they absolutely loved the chicken and rabbit patties! They also snack on all of Vital Essential chicken and rabbit treats and go nuts over the chicken hearts. They have the silkiest, shiniest coats and have never had any serious health problems and I attribute it to their diets. Thank you Vital Essentials! -Mariah

We recently lost our 15 year old Tortie shell persian to lung cancer and shortly after adopted 3 sibling rescue kittens from a high kill shelter through a rescue organization. they are a little over 5 months old. we decided to get them off of dry/wet food and on to vital essentials. in just a little over a day i can’t believe the difference in their poop. before, i felt like scooping poop was a part time job not to mention the real bad stink. now, they poop so much less, smaller and barely any odor. they absolutely love all of the patties you make and we feel so good about what we are feeding them. thank you so much for a wonderful healthy product! pictured are ginger and storm (shadow is black).  – Jeffery

I got Forest as a little kitten.  He was raised on raw.  My dogs eat the VE raw beef chubs so he ate the dog food for a while.  I did chicken for him.  Now he enjoys the VE cat patties.  He enjoys them. He has eaten a few other raw foods but I always seem to go back to VE.  My dogs do well on your food and I know it’s a brand I can trust.

Congratulations on all the awards, you deserve them and more!!! I write to thank you again for your terrific, trustworthy, healthy line!!! The cat patties are the best–easiest dehydrated on the market to serve out of that container and the turkey really easy to cut up and everyone loves them, thank you! The hearts, minnows in dog size are toys and treats here, thank you again, all the best, Candice.

A while ago I sent a testimonial about my cat, Luna. I have found Luna a friend named Phoenix. When I got him he was very overweight and had a lot of skin problems such as dry skin, dandruff, and hair loss. After putting him on a raw diet (they like the freeze dried toppers), he has lost weight and all of his skin problems have cleared up. He says thanks!

I got my cat Maisie when she was about 9 years old, around 3 years ago. Last summer she started sneezing, and the sneezing never responded to any medication. Finally had to face the fact that this was probably serious, and took her to a specialist: Maisie had cancer, a nasal adenocarcinoma. She had lost weight and had no appetite, since she couldn’t smell her food. The store where I buy my cats’ food often gives away treats, and I picked up a sample of VE’s freeze-dried minnows. Oh my goodness, Maisie went insane for them. She will eat them when nothing else tempts her. I’ve lost count of how many bags I’ve bought so far. She can have as many as she wants. Thank you for this apparently really tasty product!
