Frequently Asked Questions
Is this treat portable enough to bring on hikes and park visits?
Yes, the lightweight freeze dried pieces and resealable bag make it easy to toss into a treat pouch, backpack, or jacket pocket for outdoor adventures.
Will the treats crumble in my pocket during a long walk?
The freeze dried pieces are firm and hold their shape well in a pocket or treat pouch, making them ideal for active outdoor training.
Does this work as a high value reward for outdoor recall training?
Yes, the rich natural flavor of beef liver, chicken, or turkey is highly motivating, which is essential for reliable recall in distracting outdoor environments.
Can I use this treat during a dog training class held outside?
Absolutely. Trainers often use this brand as a high value reward because the smell and flavor hold the dog's attention even in busy outdoor settings.
Is the bag durable enough for travel and outdoor use?
Yes, the bag is sturdy and resealable, designed to keep the treats fresh during transport to the park, trail, or training field.
Will the treats stay fresh during a weekend camping trip?
Yes, the freeze dried format is shelf stable and the resealable bag protects freshness throughout a multi day outdoor trip.
How does this compare to soft training treats for outdoor use?
Soft treats can become sticky or melt in warm weather. Freeze dried pieces stay firm and dry, which is a major advantage for outdoor training.
Is this better than bringing fresh cooked chicken for outdoor training?
Yes, freeze dried chicken is mess free, shelf stable, and just as aromatic as fresh chicken, without the need for refrigeration or handling raw meat on the go.
How does this compare to kibble for outdoor reward use?
Kibble is often low value and may not motivate dogs in distracting outdoor settings. Freeze dried single protein treats provide the high value reward needed for reliable training outside.
Will the strong smell of beef liver attract other dogs at the park?
Yes, the aroma is strong and motivating, which is why it works as a high value reward. Use it in a treat pouch to manage the scent in busy dog areas.
Can I use this on a multi day backpacking trip with my dog?
Yes, the lightweight, shelf stable, single ingredient format is perfect for backcountry use where refrigeration is not available.
Is this treat a good choice for off leash training in open spaces?
Yes, the high palatability and strong scent make it a top choice for off leash and recall training in open outdoor environments.
Will rain or humidity ruin the treats during outdoor use?
Keep the bag sealed when not in use. The freeze dried pieces are dry, but moisture can affect texture, so storing them in a sealed pouch or dry bag is recommended.
Is this reward strong enough for a dog who is easily distracted outdoors?
Yes, single ingredient freeze dried proteins are among the highest value commercial treats available and are commonly used for distraction heavy environments.
Can trainers use this for group outdoor classes?
Yes, many trainers purchase bulk sizes like 10oz or 15oz to supply group classes with a consistent, high value reward.
Does the freeze dried format hold up in hot summer weather?
Yes, the dry freeze dried texture holds up better than moist or soft treats in heat, though the bag should still be kept out of direct sunlight to preserve freshness.
How should I store Vital Essentials freeze dried dog treats after opening?
Reseal the bag tightly after each use and store in a cool, dry place. Some owners transfer the treats to an airtight container for extra freshness. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, heat, or direct sunlight.
How many treats should I give my dog per day?
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog's daily caloric intake. Use small pieces for training rewards and adjust meal portions accordingly to maintain a healthy weight.
Can puppies eat these freeze dried treats?
Yes, the single ingredient, grain free formula is safe for puppies. Break pieces into smaller, age appropriate sizes for very young dogs to prevent choking.
Will this treat work for both kibble fed dogs and raw fed dogs?
Yes, the single ingredient freeze dried format complements both feeding styles. Use as a training reward for kibble fed dogs or crumble as a meal topper for raw fed dogs.
Is this treat compatible with a grain free or limited ingredient diet?
Yes, it is grain free, gluten free, dairy free, and wheat free, making it fully compatible with limited ingredient and elimination diets.
What is included in the bag when I order?
You will receive one sealed bag of Vital Essentials freeze dried treats in the size and protein variety you selected. No additional accessories are required.
Do I need to refrigerate the treats after opening?
Refrigeration is not required. The freeze dried format is shelf stable. Just reseal the bag and store in a cool, dry place.
Are there any recalls or safety concerns I should know about?
Vital Essentials is a long established American brand that follows strict sourcing and manufacturing protocols. Always check the manufacturer's most current published recall notices for any product updates.
What is the difference between freeze dried treats and dehydrated treats?
Freeze drying removes moisture at very low temperatures, preserving more natural enzymes, vitamins, and flavor. Dehydration uses higher heat, which can reduce some nutrient content and change the protein structure.
