This freeze dried cat food helps preserve the real meat aroma and flavor cats instinctively recognize—helping entice picky eaters, reduce food boredom, and encourage consistent eating. The light, crunchy mini nibs provide a satisfying texture that mimics natural feeding behavior, creating a more engaging eating experience than traditional dry cat food or kibble. With meat-first nutrition, it supports digestion, strong teeth, a healthy coat, and overall wellness. Serve as a complete and balanced meal or use as a cat food topper or mixer with dry or wet cat food to add variety and nutrition to your cat’s routine. Many cat parents choose to pair freeze-dried raw food with wet food as part of a mixed feeding approach that introduces raw nutrition while maintaining familiar feeding habits. The bite-sized format also works well in automatic feeders, offering a convenient way to provide raw nutrition throughout the day. Start by adding a small amount and build from there—even a little raw can help support long-term health and more moments together. Available in a variety of protein options, Vital Essentials makes it easy to rotate recipes, support finicky felines, and add variety to your cat’s dish while delivering minimally processed nutrition at every life stage. Made in North America’s largest freeze-drying facility for pet food with responsibly sourced ingredients and rigorous quality standards, Vital Essentials makes it simple to feed raw—so you can feel confident in what you’re serving every day. Review: Cat loves it! - My cat - who had to go on a limited ingredient diet due to eosinophilic granuloma complex, loves this product. I will say that the packaging looks IDENTICAL for cats and dogs and my last order, I was sent the version for dogs (and I did double check that it wasn’t my mistake in ordering since they look the same). I was given a refund since it’s a non returnable item but double check your bag when it arrives. You’d think the manufacturer would change the color for the different species. That said, don’t hesitate to try it if you have a pet that needs LID. It’s expensive so you do have to just use it as a topper if you don’t have a big budget. Of course mine eats all of it off the top and then goes to the kibble when he’s desperate. Review: Earl of Grey Approved! - This review has been dictated to me by my cat: Greetings and Salutations! I would like to tell you how pleased I am with your Product. It is just crunchy enough without being too hard. And it has a nice rabbit smell that is not gamey and off-putting (like some other brand. But I digress, my Human was buying the "Rabbit Bites" which were softer and airier, BUT came in such small portions! I would get extremely peeved when she would run out of them. You see the are 2 other cats in this domicile other than myself and a tiny bag of bites does not go far. The portion size on the packaging of The Rabbit Entree Crunchy Bites is considerably larger, tastes just as lovely and saves my human money. Not that I care, as long as I get my "Bunny Bunny" and lots of affection and affermation, then I am content. The Bag has a nice crinkle sound to it and is easy for my human to open and hold. I am sure this will last us much longer than those smaller bags of bites did. Don't think for a moment they will get the chance to go stale, so longevity is something I can not give an opinion on. As for Health I have been feeling spry, vigorous, fiesty and rather handsome if I don't say so myself. I would greatly appreciate you continuing to make this product. I would be quite outraged if you discontinued it.

Each and every Vital Essentials product is made in our very own facility located in Wisconsin. Our manufacturing facility proudly carries the Global Food Safety Initiative FSC22000 Certification and is EU and Gluten-Free certified. **Q: Do I need to add water to freeze-dried food?** A: Our crunchy nibs are designed to not rehydrate in water, which helps to maintain their crunchy texture. If you prefer to rehydrate your pet's freeze-dried food, our soft nibs and patties rehydrate easily! **Q: Is it normal for raw freeze dried food to have an aroma?** A: Yes! Since our foods are made with high levels of meat, you can expect the food to have a meaty aroma. Some proteins have a more noticeable aroma than others. **Q: What if my pet has tummy issues after eating raw freeze dried food?** A: Any change in diet comes with a chance of digestive upset. This is why we recommend a slow transition over the course of 5-7 days when changing your pet's food! This helps give your dog or cat plenty of time to adjust to his or her new diet. **Q: What if my pet doesn't like his new food or treat?** A: We're confident that your pet will LOVE Vital Essentials, but all animals have preferences! If the first product you try isn't a hit with your dog or cat, we offer a wide variety of proteins and textures that we're sure will be a great fit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cat loves it! *by J***L on August 23, 2026* My cat - who had to go on a limited ingredient diet due to eosinophilic granuloma complex, loves this product.
