All three of my cats have liked it so far (I am on my second bag). Good option for an IBD kitty as it is novel enough protein. The reason it is four stars and not five is that the ingredients do not match what the website posts. I thought I was getting a high boat and goat food but instead those show up after the legumes. I have also had physical bag issues with both bags. This time it is not resealable thanks to the seal only being on one side of the bag.

One cat is allergic to fish, another of my cats is allergic to chicken and beef, let me tell you how difficult it is to find food they both like and they like this one and it is the only so far they both can eat without diahrrea or any issues.

My cat doesn't like the food. He just goes over to his dish, smells it and then begs for his old food. I only tried this food because chewy was out of stock of his regular food that DOESN'T trigger his allergies. I thought I'd give this stuff a try...but the small amount he was willing to try sigh, triggered his allergies.

I was looking for a chicken-free alternative and the Essence Ranch and Meadow Dry fit the bill. My cat loved this food, but unfortunately he ended up experiencing a bad reaction, which led to severe itching and dry, flaky skin.

I have incredibly picky cats, so when I saw my two boys gobbling this food up, I let out a big sigh of relief. I like to switch up their food from time to time because everyone deserves to eat different meals throughout their lives and I was hesitant to make this purchase because the food IS costly but I looked over their ingredients and I decided to give it a go and they love it! Finding high quality dry foods is really hard and I truly appreciate the work this company puts into their meals. Their bags are vacuum sealed too! The only complaint I’d have is that the seal on my bag was broken so I was unable to reseal the bag but they ate it so quickly it doesn’t really matter. Will be purchasing again!!

We have a cat with several food allergies and this food not only avoids 95+% of those, its also a food all the cats enjoy and love to eat on a regular basis. We do know that just like people, our cats dont like eating the same thing every day, so we rotate a few others. However, this is always on hand just in case anything new we try isnt something they are thrilled about, lol.

My now 12 year old cat became severely allergic to chicken and fish about 3 years ago. We did switch to prescription food, but I did not think it provided sufficient nutrition. Struggled for some time. Could not find another kibble that met her needs...and perked her appetite. In addition, she had resisted wet food gor most of her life . Enter Essence Ranch & Meadow. She loves it and has even started eating canned cat food along with the kibble. I change up with single ingredient rabbit and beef wet food, but Ranch & Meadow dry is the only kibble Layla eats in rotation with her prescription diet. She's allergy free, healthier, glossier and lively as a five year old. Thank you!

Of course, wet food is better for cats, but I feed my cats both wet and dry food when I need to. This bag (the 4 pound, at least) is resealable, which is a major plus to me. For a dry food, the ingredients are surprisingly good, and if you're gonna go with dry, this is a good brand that doesn't totally break the bank. I also like to avoid food with fish in it because one of my cats has a sensitivity, so the Ranch and Meadow and Air and Gamefowl recipes are perfect for her and I haven't had any issues there. My cats seem to prefer Ranch and Meadow, but love both. Overall, I highly recommend!

My kitty would not eat it.

I'm sure the food is good quality and very healthy but she turned up her nose at it. I gave it to my daughter whose kitty loves it.
