Highlighted Reviews

— About: Yvonne

"Thankful this food is available and always in stock. We have a very picky eater and this is one of only two wet foods she will eat. When we serve this Chunky Chicken entree she licks the whole bowl clean."

— About: Geri

"It was too dry. The picture makes it look moist. She ate 1 mouthful only. I sprinkle a little water on it and stir a bit. No go. I'll add it to the collection of other flavors she doesn't eat."

Bottom Line

If your cat is a picky eater, this might be worth a try. However, there are quality concerns, so monitor your cat's reaction closely. There are plenty of alternatives that are well accepted by fussy fur friends.
