I love that they’re made with REAL natural ingredients. No junk. My dogs LOVE them. I have been using them as training treats because they’re so high value. – Kate
Dog Stories
Sky
Harvey
Shortly after the passing of our elder dog, our younger dog, Harvey required three surgeries within the following month. Following the traumatic events, he refused to eat, refused medications, refused to take his CBD liquid or treats. He would isolate himself and was anxious. We knew CBD has helped him in the past, but we tried many CBD liquids and treats which were always refused. Our local pet store What’s In The Bowl recommended Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Hemp Dog Chews “Relax”. He ate the healthy meat product without hesitation, and within a few days his appetite, energy, and easy going personality returned. Not only has Vital Essentials helped during the acute stressful time, it now is helping with his arthritis and joint pain. We have eliminated all his joint health supplements and his mobility and energy continues to improve. Vital Essentials contributed greatly to us getting our dog back! Thank you!

Bo
Bo goes nuts when I pull out the treats, especially these fishy minnows. I like that they are single-ingredient, support healthy teeth and gums, and everything is easily digestible. @misterbo619

Vital Essentials is one of my favorite brands. Their products are healthy and the fact that they are single ingredient as well is amazing. Every single one of these products are things I feel good about feeding my dog. @everettthebrave

I have struggled for months to find a good freeze-Dried raw food for my picky Aussies, and nothing was working. Either they got tired of it, or it wasn’t budget friendly. That was until Vital essentials. They love the food and they do amazing on it! –Stormy
Tobi
Tobi is an 18 month old great dane. He was diagnosed with wobblers disease in August and ever since then it has been nothing but health issues, food intolerances, and complete lack of appetite. He has been a fighter his whole life and nothing keeps him down he loves to go on adventures with me and he is my partner in crime! He has raw added daily to encourage him to eat.

Remmington
I adopted Remington from Friends of Homeless Animals. He was a picky eater, didn’t ever want to eat his food and even most treats. All of a sudden, he became super itchy and could not be left alone; as a result, he would scratch himself until he bled. I tried limited ingredient kibbles, special foods and treats, and nothing helped. The vet did not have answers for me and it was devastating that sweet puppy was so itchy. We heard about a pet store near us from family, and decided to check it out. The pet store owner was amazing and understanding, and educated me on Remington’s immune system. His food was full of fillers, and I had no clue. I just knew I had switched him from a kibble that wasn’t the best, to a food that I thought was better. With her help, we were guided towards a raw diet supplemented by Vital Essentials treats and the raw bar. Suddenly the itching decreased dramatically, and fur began growing back. Remington is almost 100% better thanks to his friends at Fetchri and the yummy Vital Essentials treats that they sell!

Kaela
Kalea is currently 11 months old, and made a recent transition from a kibble/freeze dried diet to Vital Essentials Frozen Patties. Kalea is such a smart girl who knows what she likes, and Can be the pickiest eater. Since She first had Vital Essentials treats, we noticed how excited she gets when she sees the treats, especially the minnows. We knew that if we were to transition her to raw it would be to Vital Essentials Frozen. Since the transition, she eats immediately after her release word and cleans the bowl; her coat is healthier, and of course, let’s not forget the poop is better. Transitioning to VE raw was the best decision we made. We can’t wait for her to try the other raw proteins!
