"My picky eaters lick their bowls clean and it doesn't make my cat with sensitive digestion sick. What more can I ask?"

— Janet

"But my 3 chicken-eating cats smell this and walk. I wonder if it's from the added ingredients like Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum. The broth has a bit of opaqueness to it and my cats tend to appreciate a clear broth."

Bottom Line

Choose based on your pet's preferences and the advice of your veterinarian, as texture and smell are vital factors.
