2. Looks Matter

A collar that never smells is still only as good as it looks. That’s why we spend a ton of time coming up with the best-looking and most unique designs around. (Who else would combine a pirate flag with argyle?) We’re laid-back, fun-loving folks and we want our work to have that same personality. So whether you’re into stripes or camo or flowers, you’ll find the perfect style for you and your lucky dog

Over 40 years of raw energy.

While you may be new to Vital Essentials, our pet-rejuvenating formula has been around since 1968. Company founder Gerry Nash is widely regarded by his industry counterparts as the pioneer of the raw pet food diet. He first discovered the benefits of a raw diet while collaborating with nutritionists at national zoos and working with high performance, exotic cats that toured in Las Vegas and throughout the world. His formula for real meat, meaty bones and whole organ meats revolutionized the industry and became the benchmark for raw pet food all across the country. Transcending to the world of pet food, Vital Essentials is now leading the way in raw pet nutrition and is proud to be one of only a few pet food companies in the world who are USDA certified.

Where most mainstream pet foods contain fillers, grains, cereals, and rendered by-products, which are, for the most part, indigestible and therefore provide little benefit to dogs and cats… Vital Essentials is full of the good stuff that pets crave. Fresh high-grade USDA meats, vital whole organ meats, and ground meaty bones make up the perfect recipe for our ultimate, nutritionally balanced and complete diet. Just like Mother Nature intended!

The Polkadog Story

Polka Dog Bakery is our tribute to Pearl. Found as a stray outside San Juan, Puerto Rico, Pearl had only one eye, which gave her the funny habit of dancing her head from side to side whenever she stopped to say hello. She did a little sort of polka to everyone she met. So Pearl became the Polka Dog, and danced her way into people’s hearts.

Hard living had left our gem in need of a little extra nurturing, and to spoil her properly, we took to baking her gourmet treats. We used the finest ingredients we could find, mixed and matched different recipes, and baked a little love in every bite. And the polka dog bakery was born.

We still use the finest ingredients, and bake and prepare all our delicacies by hand. We now offer these treats to you, for your own four-legged diamond in the rough

New Flavors Available: Tropical Banana, Apricot & Kiwi, Papaya & Mango. Dogs LOVE these treats, even the picky ones! Coconut crunchers contain healthy organic virgin coconut oil.
