My felines truly enjoy Because it’s Better Pate. Appreciate that the chicken and ingredients are human food grade. After trying numerous ways to get as much of the food out of the pouch I have a solution. Remove the top then from the bottom fold or roll up the package like a tube of toothpaste. Works well.

This is probably our cat's favorite pate food! It's a bit pricey and the package is super annoying to get the food out of. We cycle our cat's pate because she's picky, so I think I'll keep this one in the rotation but not as our default.

He didn't like it this time. I bought it once before, he seemed to prefer the chicken, but when I bought all chicken, now he won't eat it. I think because the consistency looks and feels different than before, thicker and pasty.

Great Quality

I have 6 very picky cats. I constantly have to give variety to get them to eat. They love all three flavors of this paste-like pate. It takes a little more work

I have 6 very picky cats. I constantly have to give variety to get them to eat. They love all three flavors of this paste-like pate. It takes a little more work to get it out of the pouch but the cat bowl is empty within the first 20 mins. It took one of my cats 3 days before he would touch it but after that they now all fight over it.

Great food for my old lady Annie!

I liked the human-grade sensible-for-cats ingredients; my fussy old lady loved it for flavor and soft texture. I was very happy watching her lick her plate clean!

I liked the human-grade sensible-for-cats ingredients; my fussy old lady loved it for flavor and soft texture. I was very happy watching her lick her plate clean! -- I also suggest cutting a corner off of the pouch and squeezing the food out - like icing - it's much easier to get almost all food out, easy to pinch shut & store any remainder in the refrigerator door, and not messy at all. Time will tell whether she continues to like it, but the signs are good!

Kitty loves pureed wet food.

I mix two brands of wet food for my cat at every meal, and right now he's cleaning his plate when Because It's Better chicken is mixed in.

Cats Can Sniff Our the Real Food

Cutting open a package of this human grade food brought out quite a few of our neighborhood cat friends. I shared some of this food with my cat and 4 of his friends

Cutting open a package of this human grade food brought out quite a few of our neighborhood cat friends. I shared some of this food with my cat and 4 of his friends. Every cat scarfed this food down. The quality of the food was apparent in how protective they were of their plate. Two cats threw up a little after eating, so I would recommend introducing this food slower if your cat has a sensitive stomach. My only negative is the packaging. Trying to squeeze out the food was messy, and it felt like a decent amount was left in the package. I think a package like the applesauce pouches kids get would work better.

Mousse-like texture makes it easy for older cats

I have an elderly cat who frequently needs medications and supplements added to his food. This pate has a mousse-like texture that makes it easy to mix meds in completely. The smooth texture also makes it easy for elderly cats to lick up. My cat has no teeth left, and he licks this pate up easily along with his meds that I mix in. The ingredients are also high-quality and healthy, with no artificial flavors. All three of my cats love this pate. It's easy to use, although I suggest using a pair of scissors and cutting a corner off the packet and squeezing the pate out through one corner, rather than tear the whole top off. It's less messy this way. I plan on getting more of this to use for my elderly cat. I'll save it to give him his meds with, so it'll be a special treat. It has made it a lot easier to give him his meds, as sometimes with other foods he wouldn't finish the food.

Great food cats love it but humans hate the pouches.

All but one cat at our sanctuary loves this food, especially this particular flavor. It has clean, simple ingredients and evidently very tasty. I’d give it 5 stars

All but one cat at our sanctuary loves this food, especially this particular flavor. It has clean, simple ingredients and evidently very tasty. I’d give it 5 stars but the pouch is really messy and not in any way environmentally friendly. You can’t get all the product out unless you cut the pouch in half and scoop it out. Otherwise, you’re wasting a lot of product. The manufacturer needs to offer this in a can. If they did, I’d buy it more often or even exclusively.

CORE INGREDIENT GALORE! Real chicken breast, chicken liver, and chicken broth right at the top—exactly what I look for in a quality cat food. I also appreciate the addition of salmon oil for omega-3s, and taurine for vital heart and eye health. It’s clear this formula is in favor for kitties The texture is smooth and very moist, and my cats were immediately interested in the smell. Two of my pickiest eaters took to it right away, happily cleaning the bowl. My 2 other cats was a little hesitant at first, but warmed up to it after a few tries. I did notice it contains oats, which aren’t necessary for cats, but I believe they may even help with digestion. As long as your cat doesn’t have a grain sensitivity, this food is definitely worth trying. Overall it's a huge hit and I will definitely keep adding this to my cart!
