Product Description
Vital Essentials Treat Bites are small, bite-sized pieces of freeze-dried raw protein, made with a single animal protein and its natural organ content. Because each recipe has just one protein plus a preservative, they suit dogs with sensitivities, and the small size makes them an easy high-value reward for training or a mix-in topper for meals. Choose from beef, salmon, duck, or rabbit.

Why We Love It
Single-protein freeze-dried bites are a simple way to add raw nutrition to a dog's day, and having four proteins makes rotating easy. Small sizes keep the calories per reward low.
