"Not just gravy! Vet told me Mirra isn't getting enough nutrients by just liking up gravy. Now Mirra is eating this pate and her weight is improving while still getting enough moisture. AND, she likes it!"

"Neither cat would eat this food, although the "eat almost everything" cat did taste it, then walk off after one bite. The other cat just sniffed it, then walked off. So much for trying something new, even per the recommendation of a Chewy representative I chatted with."

Bottom Line

This product is a good choice for cat owners looking for a high-quality, grain-free wet food that is gentle on their cats' stomachs. Be aware of potential availability issues.
