Highlighted Reviews

— Kitty

"Frankie is on a no-grain diet so great options for him. Also duck is a novel protein so helps control the IBD. I mix them with a little water so they are mushy which helps a finicky eater."

— Sue

"I shouldn’t waste my money. Cats are finicky so I sort of forced this on them hoping I wouldn’t waste my money feeding cats are a big gamble!"

Bottom Line

If your cat likes the variety and texture, this is a good option. However, be prepared for some pickiness and potential texture issues.
