Vital Essentials Chicken Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Food Topper

Dog Food > Freeze Dried Dog Food > Vital Essentials

Vital Essentials Chicken Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Food Topper is a Freeze-Dried dog food made with feed grade ingredients, which are unfit for human consumption. It contains 2 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has no antinutrients like peas, lentils, or potatoes (which is great, because these ingredients may interfere the absorption of vital nutrients), and has no other questionable ingredients. Many consider this food to be inconvenient, because it requires preparation, special handling, and careful clean-up.
