Highlighted Reviews

β€” Jenn

"I have four indoor cats ranging from senior age to 1 year old and they all love it and took right to it. A couple of them have very sensitive stomachs and it hasn't bothered them a bit. It was my first time buying it, and we're almost through a 10lb bag and it's been great."

β€” Cher
