“A new adventure in eating!”
Vickie L – St. Paul, MN -Cats: 10 temporary fosters
Name of Product: Vital Essential Raw Food for Cats
2 Features: Raw meat no fillers, small handy to open containers
2 Benefits: raw meat is good for cats, ate smaller servings then using the canned cat food
Con: It took a while for them to get used to eating the raw food but once they got used to it they ate it more readily. I had to be careful because it was raw meat to make sure I cleaned my hands good after serving it and also washed the dishes very well.
Review: I am thinking of using more raw meat products in the future for the cats so it was a chance to see how they would like it..

“Lovin’ It”
Melissa C. – Minneapolis MN – Dogs: 2 Cats: 1
Name of Product: Vital Essentials Raw Dog Nibblets, Chicken Flavor
2 Features: raw, contains bone
2 Benefits: raw, contains bone
Con: none
Review: I’m putting this in their kibble and mixing it with the other things I add. They love it. Actually, they eat these and the gravy first, then come back later in the day to eat the kibble. I really like the fact that the meat is balanced with the bone; this makes for better balance of minerals.

“Kitty Stand-Off”
Melissa C.- Minneapolis MN – Dogs: 2 -Cats: 1
Name of Product: Vital Essentials Kitty Cups
2 Features: contains raw goat milk and apple cider vinegar
2 Benefits: raw food, organic
Con: Expensive, so one could mix it in other food.
Review: Tried it alone and mixed in her kibble but both times it ended up in a kitty stand-off and, well, she won. On the third day of her yelling that she didn’t have food I relented and gave her the kibble alone. Seems like it would be a nutritious food, but she let it go moldy and wouldn’t touch it. Shoot.

“My pugs loved this product”
August 2, 2013
Nicole K. – Eden Prairie, MN – Dogs: 8 Cats: 0
Name of Product: Beef Vital Essentials Purely raw
2 Features: very flavorful, very healthy, high in protein
2 Benefits: flavorful, which got them to eat and easy to use.
Con: I should have kept part of the package frozen because the package has an expiration date.
Review: I loved this product! They really love the beef flavor. I was very frustrated with my pug dogs because they were very finicky eaters. I was very worried because they were losing weight. This product turned their finicky eating into dogs that couldn’t wait to eat. It was a lifesaver for me! Now they are eating like normal dogs. Thank you!
