Highlighted Reviews

— Katie

"I've been searching everywhere for a dry food that does not contain some sort of chicken or salmon due to my cat being allergic. My cat loves this food and I love the simple ingredients. "

— Eryn

"My cats were slowly introduced to the LID Turkey and Chickpea kibble. Since they have been eating this daily, they have been vomiting at each meal. I am throwing the food out immediately."

Bottom Line

This cat food is suitable for cats with specific dietary needs, but recent formula changes and quality issues have led to mixed reviews. Potential buyers should weigh the pros and cons carefully, especially if their cat is sensitive to changes in food.
