Questions & Answers

20 Customer Questions

Can cats eat these, too?

If the treats are not going to be used within 30 days, can they be frozen?

What all materials are the bags made of?

Since the only ingredient is beef liver, any reason why these can't be given to cats?

My Ben has been a finicky eater, especially since we left him with friends for two days so we could go to a funeral. He decided he'd stop eating when we were gone, but he wanted to be hand-fed. So when we got home, we used the same trick when he was a puppy: freeze-dried bits and pieces of chicken and turkey, crushed them, and stirred them in. He loved it! When I saw the freeze-dried beef liver, I had to get it for him! I am so glad I did! Thank you, Chewy, for the fast delivery and Vital essentials for yummy freeze-dried beef livers!! My boy Ben loves them! Thank you!

Beef Liver, Bad Breath, and Better Health

My senior dog loves these beef liver treats. When it's treat time, he stares at the bag, looks at me, and then looks back to the bag. I know he is asking for the beef liver treats even when there are other options that he knows are there for him and that are near where this bag is kept. Also, I'm not sure if they are helping with his bad breath or making it worse, because upon opening the bag each time...they stink! After he eats them his breath is smellier than normal. So be ready for some smelly breath coming from your dog after having a treat. I am hopeful that my dog will have better health because of the nutrients that are in liver. I use these treats along with other healthful dog remedies in hopes I am doing the right thing for him as he embarks in his senior years. At any rate, I highly recommend these beef liver treats. They are "my doggie" approved. :)

It is advertised as cubes that don’t appear to vary much in shape, size, texture, color. I saw 1 large “chunk” after opening the bag, it had a strong odor as well. Then started looking through the bag to find many more. I’m no expert and don’t know if that is intended, desirable for dogs, or even safe. I didn’t want to chance it. As always Chewy was wonderful; after a quick chat with customer service I was offered refund. It’s a big NOPE for me.

This is making me not want to purchase this item again. I’m giving three stars because my dog has been loving it but today’s incident is just shocking.

He smells them coming and I have him trained -- scratch that -- he has me trained to fork a few over after walks and before bed! This dog will put his nose in the air and turn away when offered a plain dog biscuit!

I’ve been buying Vital Essentials beef liver for years, but received a bag that was disgusting. When I opened it, there was a large hard stinky mass on top and it smelled horrible, almost rotten. As usual, Chewy was great and refunded immediately, but warming on really poor quality control, it was quite gross, time to find an alternative brand.

I purchased these because unbelievably my picky dog won’t eat liver when I cook it for her. I like to make sure that she gets healthy organ meats in addition to her kibble so I tried these to use as a topper. She loves them. I even use them for treats now. My cat decided that she likes them also.
