Highlighted Reviews
"Our kitty loves this food. She has been eating it since we rescued her at 5 weeks old. She has bright eyes and a shiny coat. Purina is a great mid-range food that works for our budget. We also give the little pieces of chicken to our older cats as a treat."
"Kitten did not like the new formula. Whatever changed with the addition of the “shreds” was an immediate no for us. Previous version was well loved. Unfortunately, I had no idea this was happening so couldn’t even attempt to transition properly."
Bottom Line
If your kitten loves the new shredded pieces, this food is a good choice. However, be prepared for potential issues with the new formula and consider transitioning if your cat does not like it.
