"Loves your product. Thanks guys. Prompt and efficient customer service and Ms. Missy love these tasty treats. She hears the bag and is by my side immediately to see what new trick she will be in for today."

— IRENE

"It's a wonderful item, but the bag we received in our recent order, expires at the end of Jan. 2021! Our little cat can't possibly use the whole bag b4 then! I was disappointed to receive an almost ready-to-expire product."

Bottom Line

If your cat enjoys grain-free food and you value high-quality ingredients, this might be a good choice. However, be prepared for potential issues with taste preference and expiration dates.
