Highlighted Reviews

"I have one cat that likes chicken over turkey (I know, it's crazy!) but the turkey lovers clean their plates with this food. They have beautiful fur as well. My black cat's fur just shines! I also buy Blackwood chicken for my picky kitty, and they ALL love that one too so I buy that as well."

— Petra

"I had high hopes for this food, but it was a flop. We feed twice a day and the plates were barely touched. Oh well. For anyone who wants to try this, buy a test can before you invest in a case of it."

Bottom Line

Recommended more on the premise of high-quality ingredients than universal acceptance, considering the other quality is good. This product deserves a trial, especially for its price-point. This food might not suit all indoor cats but could be a hit for those who enjoy its texture and ingredients.
