"At first my cat wasn't too excited about this, it doesn't have a lot of the fatty fillers of cheaper brand food. She had gained a ton of weight on Purina and was obese. Since introducing this food, she eats it every day but doesn't gorge and has way more energy and looks like a normal cat again."

"My cats hated it. They dumped the bowl and buried little piles under things around the room, and both ended up vomiting after a few days on this food. I had to throw it out. $25 down the trash."

Bottom Line

While some cats enjoy and thrive on this food, the high incidence of refusal and related health issues make it a less than ideal choice for many cat owners, regardless of its nutritional benefits. Only consider buying this if your cat is particularly fond of it, and it might require mixing with other foods.
