Inflexible material makes the covers difficult to place on cans.

    Once on, the seal is tight, which is appreciated by some users.

Cons

  • Ease of Use and Reliability (7) critical

    It took over one minute to eventually get one of these lids to fit. They are not sized to fit; most of these type lids are poorly sized. I only found one lid that fit perfectly which was a promotional item given to me by my vet.

Highlighted Reviews

"I actually took 2 can covers back to a different store after finding these. I have six pets all that love wet food so I always use a bunch of these things. They're a little bit flimsy which is why I did not give them five stars but otherwise they work well."

β€” Anne

"These are very difficult to put onto the food cans as the plastic is very stiff. Once on a tight seal but never easy"

Bottom Line

These can covers are not recommended due to poor design and functionality issues. Consider other brands that offer better performance and ease of use.
