Highlighted Reviews
"Tried this cat food for my Orange. Glad that he's not picky about it. He loved it. I guess because of its smell and flavor. I'm glad that it is available here."
"I just don't know about this...The cats love these little light discs just like they are treats. That's not the issue. I don't judge food by how much the cats like the taste. I judge by the ingredients and the sourcing. The sourcing seems great..love NZ products. The chicken sourcing is great......"

Good taste but the ingredients and some strong smell may cause some concern and should be taken into account.
