Common Questions

Why do cats refuse to eat this food?

The odor might trouble sensitive cats. Might have something to do with the guar gum in the wet food. Remember cats have a very sensitive sense of smell that affects the food acceptance.

Is this food recommended for non-picky eaters?

Can't hurt to try but if your cat rejects the food then better off with alternatives that have better acceptance
