- Includes zinc, iron, copper, and manganese amino acid complexes for targeted mineral support.

Texture, Size, and Feeding Guidance
Vital Essentials Duck Mini Nibs have a firm, crunchy freeze-dried texture in a small, bite-sized format suitable for cats of all sizes. The mini nib size allows for easy handling and consistent portioning. Cats transitioning to raw may require a gradual introduction - mixing nibs with current food and increasing the ratio over time is the recommended approach per the product feeding guidelines. Kittens, pregnant, and nursing cats may require up to twice the amount fed to an adult cat. Feeding amounts should be adjusted based on the individual cat's age, weight, and activity level.
Functional Use
Daily Treats: These freeze-dried raw duck mini nibs are designed for routine feeding in moderation as part of a balanced raw diet. They can be served as a standalone daily treat or incorporated into mealtime. The crunchy texture and small size make them practical for consistent daily use without overfeeding.
