I have 5 cats inside and 2 community cats outside and this is hands down, the favorite of all 7. I have a 14yr old diabetic cat that does just fine on this. She prefers it over everything. My other picky eater enjoys it with mo problem. The small kibble lets the older cats enjoy it. The community cats bolt inside to eat whenever they can, they prefer it over the other food that I get for them and our raccoons. Love Chewy’s customer service and how they stand by their products. This food is a definite keeper.

Cat Diarrhea No More

For years my cats ate Hills science diet with no issues. Sometime this year he seemed to develop an intolerance to chicken after coming down with a bad gastrointestinal

For years my cats ate Hills science diet with no issues. Sometime this year he seemed to develop an intolerance to chicken after coming down with a bad gastrointestinal infection. The road to recovery was long. So much diarrhea. Eventually I began to suspect that maybe he had an intolerance to his food and needed an alternative protein. This food doesn't contain chicken or poultry so I bought it for my cat and VOILA! Solid stools once again. Plus my cat loves the new food. He's really into the fishiness.

The human switched me to this food after purina pro changed their formula. I was vomiting every day and had dandruff, and my tummy was making gurgly sounds. I was also tired aaaaaalll the time. Now, my tummy issues are gone, and my dandruff is gone! Also I should mention I am highly selective and discerning with my food. I don’t like most food, but I like this!
