Highlighted Reviews

"Cats really enjoy this. Their coats are so soft and healthy."

— Finickycatsx3

"My 3 cats will not eat this food. Stays in their dishes all day untouched. I thought I would feed them a good dry food. So much for that."

Bottom Line

I recommend considering alternatives if your cat is a picky eater or has dietary sensitivities, as they may not accept this food favorably without significant training or supplementation with wet food.
