These freeze-dried raw soft cat treats are grain-free and formulated with whole animal duck as the sole protein source.

No additional protein sources, fillers, or grains are listed in the ingredient panel.
Texture, Size, and Feeding Guidance
Vital Essentials Duck Soft Nibs have a freeze-dried soft texture in a nib-sized format suitable for cats of all sizes. Unlike the crunchy mini nib format, soft nibs can be crumbled and rehydrated to add moisture to the feeding experience. This flexibility makes them a practical option for selective eaters or cats requiring additional moisture in their diet. Cats transitioning to raw may benefit from a gradual introduction - mixing soft nibs with current food and increasing the ratio over time per the product feeding guidelines. Kittens, pregnant, and nursing cats may require up to twice the amount fed to an adult cat.
Functional Use
Daily Treats and Meal Mixer: These freeze-dried raw duck soft nibs can be used as a standalone daily treat, served as a complete entree, or crumbled and mixed into existing food as a protein-rich topper. The soft texture and rehydration capability make them adaptable for routine feeding in moderation as part of a balanced raw diet.

- Feed in moderation as part of a complete and balanced diet.
- Always provide fresh water alongside treat or entree feeding.
