Product Description
Cats are carnivores, and Vital Essentials' freeze-dried cat treats give them what they crave: real, raw animal protein with nothing added. Each treat is made from a single protein source, such as chicken, duck liver, or rabbit, and slowly freeze-dried to keep the flavor and nutrition. The small pieces suit cats of any size and work as a reward, a topper, or a mix-in.

Feeding Instructions
Feed as a treat in moderation. Can be used as a training treat or as a meal mix-in for a boost of protein and nutrients. For intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Account for the calories in your cat's daily food allowance, and always provide access to clean, fresh water.
Why We Love It
Cats can be demanding, and a freeze-dried organ or breast treat is often the one thing they will not refuse. With no fillers to worry about, it is an easy treat to feel good about.
Caution
Supervise while feeding. Keep freeze-dried products sealed and stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and feed within 30 days of opening for best quality. Not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of young children. Please see packaging for complete product information.
