"Lots of cats, pretty much liked by everybody even my picky eaters."

— Drucilla

"is a Solid disappointment: firm, dry, does not meet this company's standards, needs reworking. Even when moistened, offers no food interest to hungry cats. Wish SG would catch on and revise it; also wish they would offer up more pates as my brood of felines likes none of their other canned foods ..."

This product is suitable for some cats but may not be ideal for those with specific dietary needs.
