Common Questions

Is the new packaging easier to open?

Multiple users reported difficulties with the new pouch and choosing the preferred pull top packaging made it easier and avoided the necessity of a secondary container vs unnecessarily costly wasteful messy packaging.

Can you store the food in the fridge after opening?

Users highlighted the previous packaging with a tighter seal and easily to portion and store in the fridge, whereas the new packaging must be transferred and manage leading to messes

Highlighted Reviews

— Joe

"'Especially good for one of my pickier cats who needs medicine mixed in. Just enough broth and tasty shreds.'"

— Contstance

"The cat loved Complements. Now I find that the packaging is no longer the easy-to-use pull tab container, but a slippery pouch. Impossible to open without using scissors. Can no longer give a spoonful to my cat and stash in the fridge (a prior container would last about a week as treats for her). "

Bottom Line

If you have the patience to deal with the new slippery pouch packaging, the actual cat food is noted as magnetic to cats. Customers looking for a food toppers might need more patience than they are willing to put up with.
