Highlighted Reviews

— Susan

"This is a really good food for cats. Moderate protein and calories(good for seniors) and grain free. My cat really likes it too."

— Mikaela

"Shortly after I switched my cats to this, they more frequently bothered me about their food bowl, which was still full. Non stop meowing. Also, they desired human food more. Dug in the garbage, jumped on the counter. My male cat became obsessed with butter and would not stop licking any sticks left ..."

Bottom Line

If your cat enjoys chicken and needs a grain-free diet, this food is a solid choice. However, be prepared for possible behavioral changes and monitor your cat's acceptance.
