"I feed all my cats Holistic Select as it is quality, grain free food. They especially like the Salmon and Shrimp although are more than willing to eat any of the flavors."
"My cat has been eating this for 7 years. He has IBD and it worked well with his sensitive stomach; now he will not even touch it. Not sure if the formula has changed but its expensive and I now have a case of it just sitting around and I had to figure out a different brand for my baby. Unfortunate."
If your cat has specific dietary needs and you're willing to pay a premium, this food might be worth a try. However, be prepared for potential formula changes and the high cost.
