Highlighted Reviews
"My very particular female will eat her food if I put this on top."
"I was not impressed at all with this brand nor was my cat. In the past I had ordered another brand topping and my cat loved it. When I placed my order this time they were sold out of that brand so I tried this one. What a waste of money. She would not touch it so I ended up having to throw it out."
Bottom Line
This is a great pickup product especially for those looking for a way to boost their pet's food without the hassle of refrigeration. It's best for dogs due to its enticing nature but may not be as well-received by picky cats.
