Highlighted Reviews

β€” Sally

"It’s fine, as I said the cans came through unharmed unlike the 48 pack I was getting most of which I had to get rid of or was concerned about feeding my cats."

β€” Clara

"I had set one autoship to our son's spring birthday and one to our daughter's fall birthday, which was last month. I thought I changed it, but I didn't (and I apologize for no response to the 2 emails you sent me about this)."

Bottom Line

While this variety pack is affordable and offers a range of flavors, the consistency of packaging issues and digestive problems in cats makes it a less than ideal choice for many. Consider it with caution.
