"My cat loves and inhales this food. It was so convenient to get it delivered to my door. I work FT and it is difficult to run to the pet store."

β€” Teresa

"I ordered this because my cat loves the sauce from my dogs senior can food so I thought she would love this. It has no sauce and is very dry and she does not like it. Unfortunately I bought a case and I am now stuck with a case of food my cat will not eat. :( "

Bottom Line

Owners with picky cats should be cautious and consider it on a case-by-case basis if their cats can eat it, it has a pleasant response, it’s an average choice but lacks shine, a solid feeding option.
