"My cats are finicky and a few love it and a few won’t eat it BUT the two that love it devour it!!!!"

β€” Fred

"None of my 3 cats will eat this food. I tried diluting it with a little water as it is a very dense pate. No dice..2 ate a couple of bites and walked away, while one would not even taste it. Maybe your cat(s) will like it, but mine don’t…."

Bottom Line

This cat food is a hit or miss. If your cat enjoys the taste, it could be a good fit, but be prepared for potential digestive issues and a higher price point. Consider this food carefully, especially if your cat has specific dietary needs.
