Product details

Description

Elevate your dog's daily snacking with Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Minnows, a premium raw protein treat crafted for optimal canine wellness. Sourced and harvested in the United States, these whole minnows are freeze-dried to lock in essential vitamins, minerals, and natural flavors without the need for artificial preservatives or fillers.

This single-ingredient, grain-free snack provides a high-protein boost that supports lean muscle development and sustained energy levels for dogs of all breeds. Because these treats are made from whole fish—including bones, skin, and organs—they provide a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat.

The unique texture serves as a gentle abrasive, helping to promote cleaner teeth and healthy gums as your pet chews. Perfect for sensitive stomachs or dogs with food allergies, these minnows are free from rendered by-products, corn, soy, and gluten.

Whether used as a high-value training reward or crumbled over a regular meal to entice picky eaters, these treats offer the superior benefits of a raw diet with the convenience of a shelf-stable package. Give your pet the pure, natural nutrition they deserve with this butcher-cut protein choice.

How to use

  1. Feed as a healthy treat or snack in between regular meals.
  2. These treats can be served whole as a reward or crumbled over dry food as a tasty meal topper to boost protein intake.
  3. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean drinking water while consuming treats.

    Must for any spoiled pups home

    Omg my corgi loved them. I'm an empath and let me tell you the face and energy she cave off was kid in her first candy store. I've never seen her so happy (outside of using her princess charm on the boys in the Gaurage processing hunting season run way walking away with a shoulder) I wear my dog gives off my little pony rarity vibes. She absolutely loved these. Such a cleaver idea.

    The ultimate "cat parent" hack-cheaper, bigger, and my cat is obsessed!

    If you have a cat, stop buying the tiny "cat" version of these and just get this dog bag! It is literally the exact same single-ingredient minnows, but you get a much bigger bag for a way better price.Why my cat (and my wallet) loves these:The "Obsession" is Real: My cat goes absolutely feral for these minnows. I just have to crinkle the bag and he appears out of nowhere. It's his favorite high-value treat by a mile.Actually Healthy: I love that there's no mystery gunk or fillers. It's just freeze-dried minnows, so I feel great about giving him a "clean" snack that's packed with protein.The Perfect Hack: The "cat" version of freeze-dried minnows is usually half the size for the same price. This 2.5 oz bag lasts so much longer, and since the fish are the same size, he doesn't know the difference.Great for Toppers: If he's being picky with his dinner, I just crumble one of these over his wet food and he clears the bowl.If you want to spoil your cat without getting ripped off by "cat-specific" packaging, this is the way to do it. 10/10-my cat is officially a minnow addict!

    Will buy again and again

    Well, these things stink to high heaven, my dog absolutely loves them. Sometimes she doesn't wanna eat her food unless I put a couple of them on top of it. They are extremely nutritious and worth the money. Not too terribly expensive and they last a long time. You're only supposed to give them to a day, so there's plenty in the back. However, don't have the bag close to your face because they really stink.
