Cat Stories

Charizard has always been the pickiest eater. We can never seem to get him to eat anything other than his bland, dry cat food, which is a problem, as he’s had urinary issues in the past due to a lack of wet food in his diet. Vital Essentials Frozen Mini Patties and Chubs are the first raw food he has ever tried and he loved it! We’re So happy to have found a healthy diet to supplement his dry food and give him a healthier life. —Nicole

Nova is a 3 year old tabby that I have raised since she was about four weeks old. I noticed when she was a kitten her mouth area would flare up and hot spots would appear behind her legs. I did a lot of research and tried all of the best cat kibble and wet food, but no matter what I tried her food allergies would persist. Despite giving her quality kibble and canned food, I was still weary because of the ingredients that I had no clue what benefit they had for cats. I decided to try raw food because it made perfect sense looking at a much smaller ingredient list that I could cut out what she was allergic to. It was not easy to transition her to a raw diet; it took about two months of persistence! It paid off when I noticed no more flaring up or itchy skin, it was like night and day; I had finally figured it out. She has tried Rad Cat, SmallBatch and Primal, but I know her favorite is Vital Essentials, because there are no fruits or veggies in any of their recipes. Recently, Vital Essentials was kind enough to send us a voucher so she could try the Vital Cat Frozen Rabbit Entrees, and she loved them! I mean seriously once she tried rabbit she was hooked, and any time I would open the fridge she was meowing at me to give her more! Thank you Vital Essentials for being such a great company, and giving Nova the best diet that I feel 100% positive feeding to her.

I tried the Vital Cat Frozen Rabbit Entrees after receiving a coupon for a free bag. My cat, Greyson, has been eating a primarily raw diet for approximately 2 years, but this was his first time trying Vital Essentials. Greyson is a rescue cat and I fostered him for about 6 months before adopting him. He has skin issues around his mouth and food allergies may be the cause. I have been trying to stick to limited ingredient diets with a single protein; this food fits that description perfectly! I was so impressed by this food. My cat loved the taste and I loved how easy the patties were to thaw and serve. Greyson is a happy, healthy, raw fed cat and I will definitely be purchasing Vital Essentials again.

Teddy Pancakes and Bo have long been huge fans of the Vital Essentials Rabbit Mini Nibs and treats but, they recently tried the Vital Cat Frozen Rabbit Mini Patties and they ABSOLUTELY love them! The patty portions make it so convenient to feed my boys a healthy raw diet, and an all rabbit diet has been key in dealing with food allergies and itchy skin. Thank you Vital Essentials for making such an amazing product to help me keep my boys healthy and happy for many years to come! ——Karen

I tried the Vital Cat Frozen Rabbit entrees after receiving a coupon for a free bag! My cat, pixie, has been eating a primarily raw diet for approximately 4 years, but this was her first time trying Vital Essentials. Typically, when I start a new protein or try a new brand, she goes on a “hunger strike” for a few meals until she finally gives in and starts eating the food. The first time I gave her this food, she dug right in and finished in a few minutes! I was so impressed by this food. My cat loved it and I loved how easy the patties were to thaw and serve. Pixie is a happy, healthy, raw fed cat and I will definitely be purchasing Vital Essentials again!

Thank you so much, Vital Essentials. My little Ember is still learning which foods are her favorite, and many of her CONSISTENT choices have Vital Essential food and treats. She really likes the Duck Nibs and Rabbit Nibs. She absolutely loves the Frozen Mini Turkey Patties. Thanks for always providing high quality, healthy food options for my fur-baby. I also greatly appreciate the consistently friendly, and above-and-beyond customer service I received. Thank you for all you do to make the world a healthier place for pets.

Our kitty Zuzu absolutely loves the Vital Cat Duck Frozen Chub Entree. Vital Essentials seems to be a lot more bloody and fresh looking than the other brands, as it should be! Zu ate it up super quickly, and she seemed very pleased. I will definitely be purchasing more of this and the other varieties in the future.

We started out kittens on the raw patties from Vital Essentials from the first week we adopted them as kittens. They love all the flavors, and I love feeling that I am feeding them a very healthy diet!

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.
