"She loves it enough that she tried to open the new bag"

"I really thought this would be a hit. I liked the ingredient list and thought it would be a nice change from the usual. It's a no-go. They absolutely hate it. I have never seen my 4 (yes, ALL 4!) walk away from dry food. Would not recommend."

Bottom Line

If your cat is picky, this may not be the best choice. It has good ingredients, but many cats avoid it, which puts it in a tough spot, except for those cats who genuinely like it or derive health benefits from it. Most pet parents feel it's not worth the cost if the cat doesn't consume it.
