Highlighted Reviews

β€” Terry 1 found helpful

"I first tried this flavor before our old kitty Maddie, who was in kidney failure, passed away. She liked it, as did our other two cats. So I bought a large bag and alternate between this one and the other Indigo Moon."

β€” Handle

"I do not recommend this food. It smells horrendous and doesn’t even entice our 2 year old cat with its nasty smell. Don’t stink up your place with this for nothing! Plus, she got sick to her stomach for the first time after eating this!"

Bottom Line

This product is a decent option for cats, but be mindful of the potential for strong odors and stomach issues in sensitive cats.
