"I have 2 indoor cats and needed to integrate a new food into my Science Diet large bag of food my cats disliked. (Chewy was KIND enough to give FULL refund on S.D.) My cats love the taste and I NOW noticed they only have a 2.5 lb size bag. PLEASE don't phase this out and get more 10Lb bags in !!!!"

— Erica

"I ordered this because I liked the naturalness of the product. My cats did not like it at all. I have 4 indoor cats of various ages and none of them liked it. I only gave it 2 stars because the neighborhood cats did eat it."

Bottom Line

If your cat has a sensitive palate or you're concerned about short expiration dates, this might not be the best choice. However, if your cat enjoys trying new foods, it could be worth a shot, but be prepared for potential rejection.
