Highlighted Reviews

β€” Tammy

"My cats have consistently loved this one for years now. We rotate lots of flavors and textures of wet food because they just stop eating them sometimes. But they are both always happy with their chicken pouches."

β€” Jacque

"Cats don’t like it. Too hard to chew."

Bottom Line

If your cat enjoys chicken and savory gravy, this topper is a great addition. However, be mindful of the chunk size, as it may not be suitable for all cats and some may prefer it more as a meal rather than a topper due to the higher volume of food.
