"Since the vet prescribed kidney care food for my elder kitty I've tried several starter packs to try and find something he'll like, and he loves this food! Makes me a very happy pet parent!"

— Sandra

"The delivery was disappointing. When I reordered it required me to submit prescription again delaying my order. First, it was a 2-day delivery then 3 days then delayed more. I was unable to anticipate when it would arrive or if I’d have to buy my food elsewhere."

Bottom Line

If your cat has kidney issues and you need a prescription diet, this food is a good option. However, be prepared for potential inconsistencies in quality and delivery issues.
