5 Stars
My kitties love it! Will def buy again.
My cats love this food! I have a 6 month old kitten and an almost 5 year old adult cat and they love this food. When I feed them they always finish it, with other foods they would leave it in the bowl but this is out the bowl every time. I even tried transitioning from their old food but they would gobble this one up and leave the old food in the bowl. They instantly loved this food and the flavor. I have noticed a difference in their coats as well. They are so soft and shiny. I was having issues with my big cat throwing up sometimes and she has not thrown up since the change, not one throw up incident! Definitely recommend if you have a kitten who keeps stealing adult food at feeding time of if you’ve been having trouble feeding kittens their kitten food and adult cats their food, Love that it is formulated kitten to cat. definitely helped me with my issues I was having at feeding time. Will definitely be buying again.
Thank you for your feedback

Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2023
My cat prefers wet food but she does eat this too. Her nutrition is important to me but she's one fussy old girl when it comes to dry food, so I'm happy that she actually eats it. It's not cheap and it's hard to find in my location. I appreciate that Amazon carries it.
