Freeze-Dried Raw Rabbit Entree & Mixer Cat Food Crunchy Nibs, 8 oz

Q: Is this stuff supposed to be as hard as a rock? I don't think my cat can even eat it, it's so hard.

The Pattie’s aren’t hard but need to be crumbled up. There’s another form of it in a small pellet form. My cat found them too hard and wouldn’t eat them. I put them in a blender and she still wouldn’t. So gave them to my dog a few at a time who gobbled them down.

Q: So are the turkey and the chicken flavored nibs really harder than conventional kibble? My cat is 18 and loves kibble. I want to switch to these.

Vital Cat freeze-dried min nibs are meant to be hard and crunchy like a traditional kibble. The nibs are not necessarily any harder than kibble, but of course it would depend upon what your pet currently eats as well.

Q: Has the formula been changed? All of a sudden my two foodie cats stopped craving it.

Thank you for your question regarding Vital Essentials freeze-dried rabbit mini nibs for cat. The formula has not recently been changed or altered. Variances in our proteins happen on a regular basis mainly due to the fact that Vital Essentials food is natural, real, "LIVING" food, which is not processed or sterilized in any way.

Q: My cat cannot have raw bone after a digestive incident with unacceptably large and sharp pieces of bone in Feline Natural. How much bone? How big?

I’ve never seen any discrete bones in this formula; it appears to be a very fine grind of meat and bone that is extruded into pellets and then freeze-dried. That doesn’t mean quality control catches everything every time but I’ve been feeding my cats this for years and never seen any visible bone pieces.
