Highlighted Reviews

β€” Amy

"My very picky cats love these! I sprinkle these over their regular food at night and they eat more of the good-for-them food."

β€” Gabriella

"These used to have a certain texture to them that you could tell they were fresh. The last 2 bags have harder and clearly older (or made with less quality ingredients). It’s a shame. We loved this and will be looking for a different brand."

Bottom Line

If you have a picky cat and are looking for a high-quality, convenient food topper, this product is highly recommended. Keep in mind the potential for quality issues and the higher price point. For budget-conscious buyers, it is essential to either look for promotions or validate the latest batch quality.
