Omg the smell
By Nala on Feb 1, 2021
I bought this since it seems to be the healthiest option for my cats. Neither of them love it but will eat it. However, THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE! We live in a small condo and we had to go buy a container with a lid because this food smells like spoiled salmon. We've had salmon flavored food before but it never had this intense of an odor. We'll definitely be trying the chicken version because I cannot handle giving them this.

Her favorite!
By kcb1 on Jan 27, 2021
I adopted a cat that seriously loves salmon, and this is her favorite food. As others have mentioned, it is pretty fragrant. I am slowly transitioning my cat to this food from the one I got from her previous owner, and now whenever I offer her the old food she gives me the stink-eye because she really wants this one. She also loves the chicken flavor of this brand.

Not good for our kitty
By Nancy on Feb 20, 2021
We always ordered the small bag of chicken flavor, for some reason it wasn’t available and we decided to substitute for the salmon flavor....not a good idea. He didn’t like the flavor or smell I guess.

Dr Elseys Clean Protein
By PeggySueAlso on Nov 7, 2020
Both of our cats LOVE this food. Its awesome because one is diabetic and he needs this kind of food. My diabetic cat is so picky. I am AMAZED that he eats it. My other non diabetic cat will leave her other hard food she has loved for years to eat this! Chewy shipped very fast.

It's A Very Stinky Kibble!
By MinMin on Aug 11, 2020 Top 250 Contributor
My cat will not eat it and she generally enjoys salmon. For some reason, our regular kibble wasn't available -- Nutro Max Duck. I hope it's not discontinued. I wanted to get the other Dr. Elsey's kibble, but it was sold out. My cat will not eat this. Luckily, I bought another kibble she's willing to eat (Crave).

Nice amount of protein
By Lithara on Aug 3, 2020
We're still trying this one. One cat like it, the other, well, he'll eat it, but he'd prefer something else. I wish it didn't have the rosemary extract or chickpeas in it for my obligate carnivores (i mean rice and fish oil would probably be better choices), but the high protein content is nice. We'll monitor them and see how their stool is.

Sensitive stomach
By Scott on Jun 24, 2020
This is literally the only food that works for my cat. I've bought a lot of different food brands and types of food, even went on prescription diets and this food is the only one that totally works. My cat was having problems with diarea for over a year and puking after every feeding and i spent a lot of money on wasted food for him. When I tested this food out, the first thing I noticed was my cat did not vomit after eating then the next day I noticed he actually had solid stool. I was pleasantly surprised and very happy we finally found something that works! It is a little pricey but totally worth it

provide enough energy
By trv435 on Jul 22, 2020
Both of my cats are overweight by a few pounds and they always overeat(used to have blue buffalo salmon, it’s very oily). Vet recommended to have high protein low carb diet and I found this dry food fits their needs on weight loss. They ate less but still energetic as usual. Hope their weights will get down.

cats like but very strange behavior after
By Patti on Jun 17, 2020
Cats really liked but their behavior was strange afterwards. Concerned this might not be safe for cats health. Cats became extremely thirsty, between 2 cats they drank 3 large bowls of water in one day., probably could have drank more but they empty’s the bowls overnight. Cats became very lethargic, it’s been 24 hours since they ate the dry food and still lethargic. Not sure what would be in this food that caused such a change with my cats. Never see this happen before with other foods. This is very expensive food and surprised the company would put ingredients in it that could endanger the cats. Very poor
