Highlighted Reviews

— Sally

"This was a new purchase for me and was pleased to see that both of cats started eating it right away. Will keep ordering in the future."

— Virginia

"I've tried to get my 13 y/o cat to eat this but she absolutely refuses. I mix it with her old food and she just picks out the old food to eat leaving the 1/4 cup of this food I mixed it with just untouched in the bowl"

Bottom Line

I would not recommend as a top product to buy, but it does seem to work for some cats with digestive issues. Many seem keen to figure if it has been improving the condition better than the cost of the food. Assuming it fixes the issue it seems to be a better option for digestive problems. Choosing the best pet food for your favorite companion can make a significant difference in their health and well-being. Some desperate people might try it but might immediately regret it. It is crucial to consider your cat's individual needs and consult with a veterinarian before making a decision on the food
