Highlighted Reviews

— Courtney

"Love when I can find a compromise for my dry-food-loving cat that meets the nutritional expectations I have. He likes to switch between Pork and Chicken flavors. I also coat in taurine and cosequin supplements and he eats them without a problem."

— Katrina

"I wish they would go back to their ORIGINAL formula & please stop changing it! :( Our kitties have very sensitive stomachs in general plus have are super susceptible to medical issues overall! This is a very important issue. I only buy this for her to graze on since she is diabetic & needs something..."

Bottom Line

For cat owners looking for high-protein, low-starch cat food and are willing to monitor their pets for any reactions to the kibble, this food is quite good. However, care must be taken for first-time users and transition needs to be done slowly.
