American Journey Pate Turkey Recipe Grain-Free Canned Cat Food

My cats were opposed to changing to American Journey at first but are not getting more used to it. I have 15 cats and at first only a few would try this. They are now coming around after a few weeks and seeming to like fairly well. I had been feeding Friskies but since I cannot get it in the larger cans any more I had to find an alternative that was reasonably priced and I felt was a healthy choice.

I have an older cat and 2 kittens. The kittens gobble it up,but my cat who ate Sheba before refuses to touch it. Understandable, if you ate chicken nuggets your whole life you're not going to suddenly spring for a salad. The only problem is no matter how little I mix in the new food for my older cat, she just refuses to eat it. So I'd advise you to only buy this if your cat already ate healthy otherwise they will not touch it.

Based on some research I did, the tryptophan in turkey can help with irritable bowel disease/syndrome. One of our bengals has had issues since he was a baby, getting him on grain-free food helped, and switching him to turkey (for his wet food) has shown some improvements. It’s no cure, but it helps...and they love the taste! It’s funny, because the turkey flavor REALLY smells like turkey when you open the can! (Chuckles)

I have four dogs, my dogs love this food. Dogs are very picky about wet food. They loved this food from the start and still are eager to eat in the evening. Or the morning.

Before buying: 10% protein - okay, first ingredients are real poultry meat and broth - great, value - awesome! This was how I decided to give it a try. Two things originally concerned me but not anymore were the texture and small bone pieces. Unlike most wet food I bought which has more liquid/gravy, American Journey has a SPAM-like consistency (and actually smelled like it in someway). Making homemade cat food myself made me realize, even after pouring much water to the pure meat mixture, I still got a stiff cream pate, but far from runny. So even the texture was different from what I'm used to see in my other commercial wet food, it didn't put me down. Then I saw the white bone pieces some Before buying: 10% protein - okay, first ingredients are real poultry meat and broth - great, value - awesome! This was how I decided to give it a try.

I brought this as a concern to my vet, and he said bone pieces that size shouldn't be a problem for cats. There the product passed my test. My 2 cats: I should say they weren't super super excited about this. Both would eat it. The picky one usually left the plate sooner, the big eater swallows down the rest. I always use clean spoon, refridge unfinished portion with a reusable silicon can cap, heat cold food ~10 sec in microwave, and serve with a few table spoons of water. … more

My cat was itching to the point of scratching the hair off around her neck. I tried many different kinds of cat food and she would turn her nose up to all of them until I tried this one. The itching has stopped and the fur has grown back. She and the farrow cat I feed both love it. Would recommend to anyone.

My cat is allergic to almost everything, but Turkey isn’t one of them. I have seen this brand on Chewy for some time, but never really looked into it. When the turkey brand we were using wasn’t working well any longer, I was back to square one. I just so happened to be reading an article, where someone was stating a professional recommend this brand for a lovely coat. I wasn’t concerned about that, but it jogged my memory to look into this food. I loved the ingredients, and if it worked I would get an extra case for free! When it arrived, I opened the can and hoped for the best. The moisture level was great, my cat liked it and her stool was wonderful.

We've tried several American Journey recipes as well as other brands. Lucy likes pates and almost any variety of American Journey cat foods. It does appear that the pate type recipes are disappearing from the American Journey cat food options. Hopefully that is temporary.

This does have a strange consistency as someone else mentioned. Also, there are little bits of hard, white something in there that my cats don’t like. If they happen to get one of these tiny little white bits in their mouth, they will spit it out. Sometimes they’ll eat the cat food and other times they won’t and it gets really frustrating. I’m wondering if this cat food really has poultry by-product in it (beak, bone, cartilage etc) because I can’t figure out what else the tiny little white bits would be. They are semi hard and the cats just don’t like them. Granted, they are really picky. I can’t decide whether to buy another case or just forget about this food.

My cats and my dogs are both eager for meal time and eat this with they’re dry food and they must love it because there is never any left. Thanks Chewy
