"I was worried to get this since so many reviews say their cats wouldn't eat it, but luckily my cat loves it! The food seems to be really good quality. It is a pretty dense pate, but with a little water mixed in, the texture is perfect! It seems to be a gamble whether your cat will like this or not, ..."

β€” Diane

"My cat has stage 4 kidney disease so I bought this because of the price. Not only does he refuse to eat it but I can't pawn it off on my other 6 cats. To be fair, I bought another leading brand at the same time and that too is sitting on the shelf because my cats would rather starve than eat it. ..."

Bottom Line

This food may improve proper nutrition for cats with kidney issues, but still keep in mind cat’s preferences as the acceptance rates can be quite varied.
