She seems to prefer it over the Field and Meadow flavor. I was initially wary to give her fish because of the presence of mercury and microplastics and because I read that tuna contributes to urinary blockages in cats, but but microplastics are in everything lately (probably in the other flavors as well) and while I want my cat to enjoy a long and satisfying life, I want her to have a good relationship with food as well. This seems to fit the bill. (Added photo not of my cat eating food, but of enjoying life and a silvervine stick.)

The smell

The smell must be enticing to my cats because they can't wait for me to open the bag and fill their bowl. I'm glad that they like it though.

It is high protein with the first four ingredients are fish which cats naturally eat. A bit pricey but will keep buying it as it is their natural diet.

My cat is highly allergic to chicken of any kind. This is one of the rare dry foods that contain no chicken and is affordable!

I've feed all three flavors to my cats$(with a wet cat food mix). Their 6 year old bodies are full of energy. One of them has suffered with itchy skin but this Ocean & Freshwater Recipe has really helped him, so I will keep ordering this one.
