Highlighted Reviews

— Theresa

"My cat is infatuated with this food... He will hardly let me get it in his bowl before he is trying to eat it all. It has helped his coat and his energy level has increased in the past few weeks that he has been on this brand."

— Susan

"Tried to get replacement, rep told me I had to return bag for replacement. I’m not going to “scoop” bits up. Will be going to pet shop for my supplies in the future. I should not be held responsible for poor packaging and or shipment failures"
