Highlighted Reviews

— Shelly

"I have one cat that is allergic to chicken, so they all have to be on the same diet. The first couple of cans they ate it, begrudgingly, but now I'm stuck with half a case of food no one wants. I'm feeding my very expensive food to the chickens, and even they are not impressed."

Bottom Line

Given the high number of negative reviews and quality control concerns, this product may not be a reliable choice for cat owners. It is recommended to consider alternatives that have better reviews and are more palatable to cats.
