This minimally processed 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 soft, easy to break apart texture creates a more approachable eating experience, especially for senior cats or those with sensitive preferences. When rehydrated with water, Soft Nibs can be transformed into a softer, moisture-rich meal experience with a texture similar to pate or gravy. Whether served on their own, paired with wet cat food, or customized to your cat's preferences, Soft Nibs make it easy to incorporate raw nutrition into everyday feeding. 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 picky eaters, 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. ## Features - BEEF & CHICKEN FREEZE DRIED CAT FOOD – SOFT NIBS 12 OZ BAG: Complete and balanced raw cat food in a soft, easy to break apart format.

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: Why should I wash my hands after handling raw freeze dried food?** A: The FDA recommends washing your hands after handing any raw food, including freeze-dried pet foods. **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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vital Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Beef & Chicken Entree & Mixer Cat Food Soft Nibs, 12 oz - Vital Essentials Minnows Cat Treats, 0.5 oz | Freeze-Dried Raw | Single Ingredient | Grain Free, Gluten Free, Filler Free - Vital Essentials® Freeze-Dried Raw Chicken Entree & Mixer Cat Food Crunchy Nibs, 12 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/704865524-vital-essentials-freeze-dried-cat-food-beef-and-chicken-soft](https://www.desertcart.us/products/704865524-vital-essentials-freeze-dried-cat-food-beef-and-chicken-soft) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
