"weighted 18 pounds, started giving him this food and now he is down to 15 pounds"

β€” Jean

"The Loaf says it is in SAUCE, but it isn’t. Our cats will not eat it. It is so dry it almost looks like powder. And it cost a load and we have to throw it away. Don’t get it unless your cats really like dry, dry food from a can."

Bottom Line

If weight management is your primary concern and you're willing to overlook potential quality issues, this product might be worth considering. However, be prepared for inconsistencies in product quality. There is rising issue of dented cans which could be addressed for recurring customers. Make sure to inspect the product closely upon delivery.
