"My cats LOVE this flavor, but because it was shipped with heavy cases of wet cat food, it arrived - basically - like a pancake. It was completely smushed. I've still used it, because it it is quite malleable, but would have preferred the regular size."

— Vanessa

"I ordered multiple flavors for my cat and the Tuna & Cheese came expired. By nearly one year... I ordered at the end of October(2024) and by the time I got to the bag the pill pockets were clearly stale and non-malleable, looked at the expiration date and it had a July, 22, 2023 date on it. Big miss..."
