Wow! It's mealtime!
By TexasLady on Feb 2, 2021
That's the reaction of our two sister-cats! We have fed canned high-protein food to them since they were adopted at 10 weeks of age, but they love the dog's dry premium crunchy food to snack on. I would rather they have their own kitty-specific crunch instead. We have used Dr. Elsey's cat litter for years, and had read about Dr. Elsey's cat food. Glad we tried it, as the cats love it and are very satisfied with it. We moisten it with some of the liquid from their canned food, and often mix some canned food with it for a whole meal one time a day, then use canned for the other two meals of the day. The meal using the Dr. Elsey's Clean Protein is their favorite meal of that day. Thanks, Chewy, That's the reaction of our two sister-cats!

A hit for all my cats
By renee on Feb 21, 2021
I originally bought this food for my diabetic cat, but I switched all the cats over to it and they are obsessed. They love this kibble. I’ve noticed that their fur has become softer since switching as well. The quality of this food is great. Very happy with it.

No problems
By AB77 on Jan 10, 2021
Making the switch for my portly kitten from his kitten food to this was surprisingly a breeze. Wish the pieces were bigger to help his dental hygiene, but he devours this with the same enthusiasm of his higher fat kitten food. Hope this is the healthier of the dry kibble options like the write-ups claim. Four stars because the it makes me nervous the guaranteed taurine amount is not listed in nutrition info.

Best high-protein dry food
By June on Feb 6, 2021
This food is excellent nutritionally and has the highest protein content of any dry food (and many wet foods as well, by dry weight). It also doesn't contain any grains or legume grain replacements, using gelatin instead as the binder. My kitten ate it immediately.

Easy Transition
By GIBBSMOM on Dec 28, 2020
Gibbs weighed in at the vet at 21 pounds. I was told to take him off kibble as that contains to many carbs in order to avoid possible diabetic situation later on. Well, that was easier said than done until Dr. Elsey's Chicken Formula...I purchased the small bag and just began serving it as a treat more or less to get Gibbs used to it. Didn't take much coaxing. He dove right in. No problems with vomiting or poop. He seems to enjoy and waits eagerly for me to fill his bowl.

Best Option for Dry Cat Food
By Anna on Jan 29, 2021
We have a cat who refuses to eat wet cat food. This food is the best option available for dry and we are so grateful that it is available. Our cats enjoy the flavor and have less skin allergies & vomiting since switching to this food.

Food Taste
By Lynn on Feb 9, 2021
Sadly, my cats don’t like this food at all. Chewy’s was great with delivery, but the product is not right for my four cats. Not one of them likes it. They much prefer Purina One.

She likes it!
By Jnorm on Jan 29, 2021
Finicky cat likes this food. She eats more if I add a little to the bowl rather than give her food that’s been sitting. I’m happy to have found this. And it’s good for her too!

Good choice for kibble
By Sissa on Jan 23, 2021
My older cats have trouble eating kibble that must be cracked up with teeth. These pieces are small, easy to swallow without too much chewing, and the food is top notch.

For picky eaters
By Sandy on Jan 18, 2021
Our two cats are very picky eaters. They were spoiled by my mother as kittens with Temptations as their only food. Since we’ve had them this is the only food they will eat.
