What ingredients and nutrition does this beef dog food provide?

Vital Essentials Soft Nibs are made with beef, organs, and bone, with beef as the only animal protein in the recipe. The whole-animal ingredients provide naturally occurring nutrients, and the food is grain-free with no artificial flavors, colors, or added sugar. It is formulated as a complete and balanced diet rather than as a meal topper only.

• High-protein recipe designed to support digestion, healthy skin, a shiny coat, and lean muscle development.
• Animal-based ingredients without added fruits or vegetables.
• Suitable for feeding dogs at every life stage.

How can I serve the soft nibs?

Serve Vital Essentials Beef Soft Nibs as a complete meal, or crumble them over kibble or wet food as a topper or mixer. The pieces pour directly into a bowl and can be broken apart for a different texture. To add moisture and bring out more aroma, rehydrate them with water.

• Use the nibs whole, crumbled, or rehydrated.
• Begin with a small amount alongside your dog’s current food and gradually increase it.
• Adding raw food to 20% of the bowl can make a meaningful difference.

What makes freeze-dried raw food different from kibble?

Freeze-drying removes moisture without cooking the food, helping preserve naturally occurring nutrients and flavor. This creates a convenient format for serving raw nutrition in place of traditional dry kibble, air-dried food, or gently cooked food. The soft, aromatic nibs are easy to chew, making them useful for seniors, dogs with sensitive teeth, and dogs that are selective about food.

• Soft pieces can be portioned or crumbled without needing to serve them whole.
• Rehydrating with water adds moisture to the serving.
• The texture is designed for dogs of all sizes, including those that prefer easier-to-chew food.
