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.

Easy Transition
By Gibbs 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.

Great product, my cats love it!
By Alex on Nov 23, 2020
My older cat is notoriously picky with foods but when I first opened the bag she was right on over giving it all of her attention and trying to stick her little head into it! I gradually switched over both of my cats from their previous food to this one with no issues. It has much better moisture content and nutritional value than what they had before AND they love eating it. I’ve also noticed my older cat, who previously it was not uncommon for her to vomit, has not done so once since fully transitioning into this food. I’m so glad she’s feeling better and feel much better about what I’m feeding the both of them.

My cats love it
By Jess on Dec 31, 2020
My cats love this food a lot. There are no leftovers. For this reason I only feed a limited amount because I want them to eat their wet food too. I love that it has no plant based fillers.

my cats don’t like it
By okay on Jan 8, 2021
This review is solely based on the fact that my cats pick around this food, which I mixed in with their regular food. Even my little piggy cat doesn’t like the taste. ):

Game changer!!
By Emily on Nov 18, 2020
My poor kitty was throwing up several times a week and her poops were horrendous. I tried just about everything for her - including prescription cat food - but nothing seemed to help. Until I bought this! She has stopped throwing up and doesn’t seem to have as many digestive issues. This has been a real game changer!! Plus she loves the taste! She gobbles it down quickly!! Thank you Dr Elsey!!

Best Dry Cat Food
By MKB001 on Nov 12, 2020
This is the best dry cat food on the market since it has no plant or grain ingredients in it; all ingredients are animal based. It also has the highest protein content that I could find. I prefer to feed wet food, but my one fur-kid vomits everything that I give him, except this. I only wish the company offered more dry food options. Their salmon has chickpeas which I would prefer to stay away from.

My eats-everything-cat does NOT like it.
By MarioPS on Nov 2, 2020
At first this food made my cat dry heave. She is not a picky eater, so she still reluctantly eats it. Today was the first time she finished her food portion in one seating, but she does not like this as much as her previous food, I can tell. I don't think I'm buying this brand again.

At first not a hit...
By HappyCustomer on Nov 24, 2020
My cats the first day or two would not eat this and picked at it but now they seem to enjoy it. The ingredients are the best ratios around. The price is the only thing holding me back from buying this regularly.
