Description of 🐱 Grain-Free Freeze-Dried Toppers for Dogs and Cats - 6 oz by Vital Essentials

REAL, NATURAL, MEAL MIXER. Sourced with 100% USA Chicken meat + organs + bones - simply natural because our freeze drying process is low and slow, retaining the original nutrients, as close to nature as possible. When pet food is cooked at high heat, vital nutrients are lost in the process. PICKY EATER? Top off your dog or cats food with Vital Essentials toppers ensuring your pet is getting the protein needed for strong bones. THREE WAYS TO SERVE. All life stages - serve as a meal, supplement or meal mixer. Vital Essentials Toppers are a complete and balanced nutrition produced from whole meat + bones + organs. CLEAN EATING FOR YOUR PET. Your dog or cat instinctively craves real meat, not blueberries and spinach. We do not add high sugar flavor additions, fillers, rendered by products into any of our products. WHY SO MUCH WASTE? Feeding your dog or cat ingredients their natural system is not designed to absorb causes excess waste, which then ends up in your yard, or litter box. Feeding freeze-dried raw dog food is easy for your dog or cat to digest, retaining the key nutrients, which creates less waste. Fewer eliminations overall, stools are firmer and near odorless and smaller. TRANSITIONING TO VITAL ESSENTIALS IS SIMPLE: Switch slowly, some dogs and cats take to raw immediately, others a bit longer due to the high sugar and added flavorings from traditional food they are hooked on. Typically, a transition of ten days to two weeks is sufficient allowing your dog or cats' digestive system time to adjust. CERTIFIED GLUTEN FREE - All Vital Essentials products has received the official Certified Gluten Free Certification. (Certificate ID 68908, issued by GFCO on 2/4/19). Included Components: Ground chicken with bone, chicken heart, chicken liver, herring oil, mixed tocopherol (a natural preservative), d-alpha tocopherol (a natural source of vitamin E).

Cats love it but my wallet doesn't.

I used to cook homemade raw food for my two kittens, but with the ever-changing work schedule and very little downtime, it has become a HUGE chore. I now feed them grain free wet food with this mix and they are obsessed. The ingredients are great and the closest thing to what I've made. They refused to touch other freeze-dried "raw" ingredients. However, the constantly changing price is very annoying. I currently have maybe two days' supply and need to order more, but the price suddenly went…

Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Supplements

I use freeze dried chicken as a supplement to my cat food. I bought this item because he said it was a great sublimated topper. The price was cheap compared to another supplier who also sells sublimated toppers. I have two cats and wanted nothing to do with this product. They sniffed and left. I have tried three times to get them to eat with this attachment and all three times they have sniffed it and left the food in the bowl. I ended up throwing the product away and going back to my original…

Pros
  • A pleasure to use
Cons
  • So far so good

Great product for coat health

Vital Essentials is a great brand. I love their products and so do my dogs. I switched my Yorkie to her cakes and she is thriving. All health problems solved. I wanted my big bitch to get something good too as it would cost a fortune to feed her patties her size. Topper is the perfect solution. I add it to her every morning for breakfast. She is by no means choosy but gets a new level of arousal when this is added to her hunks. The taste of the turkey in particular has worked wonders for his…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not the best

The cat loves this filling for its special diet dry food!

My cat loves this stuffing! She's been put on a diet to minimize spitting up (we think her stomach lining may be irritated by too much acid) and she hates the taste of new food. I did some research on food toppings and this brand was recommended to me for their trusted ingredients and quality. She's so excited about her food now that she's helping the alarm clock wake us up! We add less than a teaspoon to the kibble so the flavor benefits don't outweigh the purpose of the diet and keep her…

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • volume

Strange smell, red color, my cat doesn't like it.

I don't like that the label doesn't say how much to use as a supplement. I recently read that cats need internal organs. In the wild, they eat all prey, including the organs. Most commercial cat food contains almost no internal organs. I mix about 1/2 teaspoon into her wet food and she manages to overeat by licking up her canned food and leaving most of it on her plate. What a waste of money and no returns. I'll use up the pack I have and if her intake doesn't improve I'll find another way to…

Pros
  • CLEAN FOOD FOR YOUR PET. Your dog or cat instinctively craves real meat, not blueberries and spinach. We do not add high-sugar flavorings or product-derived fillers to any of our products.

The Best in Freeze Drying is a Game Changer

I rarely write reviews but felt I should recommend this product to owners of picky eaters like my dog. I've tried several meal plans, but Banjo often left more in the bowl than he ate. Sometimes I would give in and feed him human food just because I was worried he was eating enough, when obviously I would have preferred to feed him more nutritious kibble. This beef topper was a game changer. I sprinkled him with dry dog food and in two minutes his bowl was empty. I waited a few days to write…

Pros
  • THREE WAYS OF SERVING. All life stages - serve as food, supplement or blender. Vital Essentials Toppers is a complete and balanced meal of whole meat + bones + offal.
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great food that has helped my cats!

Excellent product. I used to worry about my cats' food, especially when one of my kittens was diagnosed with diabetes. After much research and testing of many delicious canned and raw foods, Vital Essentials has become what my cats love and eat the most. They both eat all their food with no problem, all my worries about eating enough are gone. It comes with a spoon which is really good and can be a meal replacement if your cat has trouble eating or just likes the topper. It's like a powder, so…

Pros
  • Ingredients: Bone-in ground chicken, chicken heart, chicken liver, herring oil, mixed tocopherol (natural preservative), D-alpha tocopherol (natural source of vitamin E)
Cons
  • Purity

Terrible smell and wrong color of the beef topper.

In January I bought dry chicken food for my dog, when I opened the package it smelled terrible and the color is wrong, I asked Revain to replace the item with one Topper for beef and it was good. Then in August I ordered another bag and it wasn't a finely ground topper but a pea sized pellet. The smell and color were good and my dog didn't mind a few of these pellets in his food. It's the same blue bag and it said it was a beef topper. I ordered two packets of beef toppers last week hoping it…
