"We were having trouble with the suggested novel proteins for an IBD diet. This is just awesome. It gets DEVOURED. And it actually smells pretty delicious!"

— Christina

"I was shocked to discover this product was a slurry. It smelled terrible. My cats would not even be tricked to eat it if small amounts were mixed in with their typical wet food. It was a bad purchase decision. I thought it would be exotic, but it was a waste of money."

Bottom Line

Low adoption rate likely due to the distinctive ingredient. We recommend that you pass unless a vet insists on an exotic diet.
