Nutritional Value
These exotic freeze-dried treats add protein, fatty acids, calcium and trace minerals to your pets diet. Because they are single-source snacks, they’re just what they say they are, and contain no other added ingredients. Snacks like chicken necks, duck necks, and bully sticks are an excellent source of energy!
Oral & Mental Health Support
Are freeze-dried snacks better than dehydrated snacks or chews?
Our freeze-dried snacks are made from high-quality ingredients sourced in the USA and offer more nutrients than dehydrated products. Why? Because of how each process removes moisture. Vital Essentials uses a slow 48-hour freeze-drying process to lock in nutrients without high heat or “cooking”. If you take that same food and dehydrate it, you are placing it under extreme heat to cook out the moisture which leads to a loss of nutrients. Not only does dehydration lack key nutrients but the high temperatures can make some bones brittle which can be unsafe for pets.
How is this better for your dog or cat?
Not only will your pet feel more satisfied from the higher protein content, but they’ll also experience an overall improvement in health! Freeze-dried raw snacks contain nutrients that are easier to absorb, often providing more energy, mental stimulation and supporting clean teeth. And, those are just a few of the benefits!
