Vital Essentials is a small- to mid-sized pet nutrition company based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, founded in 2009, focusing on raw diets for dogs and cats. Its products are minimally processed through a freeze-drying method designed to preserve nutrients and deliver raw, whole-animal protein. The lineup features high proportions of meat, organs, and bone—up to 99%—with no artificial colors, gluten, grains, or fillers, and it supports a 20% raw protein starting point for feeding. The range includes frozen and freeze-dried patties, nibs, bite-size treats, and VE RAW BAR items across multiple textures, with proteins from beef to fish blends. Distribution spans more than 7,000 independent pet retailers nationwide and online, increasing accessibility for pet owners at various stages of interest in raw feeding. In recent years, the company launched its Butcher Cut protein freeze-dried raw pet food in 2023 and previously partnered with Burgham Sales Ltd. in 2019.
