"My two cats enjoy the chicken flavor of C&P Organix so I figured this one would be a hit also."

— Mya1

"This is a very good quality food without carrageenan, and my guys seem to like it most times...that is, some of the times, they are just OK with it :) but they are pretty picky and 15 years old, so the fact that they like it most times is great with me!"

Bottom Line

If your cat is not picky and you can find it at a lower price, it might be worth a try. Otherwise, consider alternatives that your cat is more likely to enjoy. Ask your vet or choose hypoallergenic options if your cat has allergies.
