## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is raw freeze-dried food safe for my pet?**
A: Absolutely. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by I***H on 30 April 2026*

I was looking for dried fish treats for our cats, having bought a different brand previously that were extremely hard and not at all suitable for cats so I was looking to try a different brand. It was late at night, I was tired and wasn't concentrating properly so I ordered a packet and somehow didn't notice the price until a few days after they'd arrived and I was checking my order history. I paid £11.88 for a 0.5 ounce bag. WHAT?! Ounce for ounce, I'm pretty sure that I've never even bought any human food that's this expensive! All of our 6 cats were very interested in them as they smell extremely fishy as expected, but only two of our cats wanted to eat them. They're very good treats in that they are crispy but light, and easy for the cats to crunch. Unlike the other brand I'd bought before that were very hard and much too chewy for cats. These are great but ridiculously expensive and the price has gone even higher since I bought them. I hope our cats appreciate their luxuriously priced snacks but I doubt it. Two or three crunches and they're looking for another one!
