Dr,Pol high protein

My cats really like his food. They eat it all up and I rotate their food so they don’t grow bored. My 8 yr old boy and my 5 month girl. Both eat it and I like that

My cats really like his food. They eat it all up and I rotate their food so they don’t grow bored. My 8 yr old boy and my 5 month girl. Both eat it and I like that my grown cat and kitten can eat it. Again healthier food for both of them. And price is not bad.

Oof! Kittens didn’t react well to this.

Kittens were not fond of the size or taste, but this brought on foul odorous diarrhea. Just profoundly bad. Vet was certain they both had worms or other parasites

Kittens were not fond of the size or taste, but this brought on foul odorous diarrhea. Just profoundly bad. Vet was certain they both had worms or other parasites bc of the liquidy poo and stink, but none. We ended up changing to another protein. And because of that I was quite happy with the limited ingredients. An excellent opportunity to rule out chicken immediately. So mixed review.

My cat attacked this food.

I don't know why people had trouble getting kittens to eat it. I ordered treats as well and she wants the food more!

Dry food

Cat was a little more hesitant about eating. I have meow mix for my feral cats and he seems to prefer that to Dr Pol,. He does eat occasionally, I’m trying to move

Stomach upset

I tried a bag of this, slowly introducing it to my cats. One stopped eating completely and after a few days of this, had to take to the vet, $800 later, it's thought

I tried a bag of this, slowly introducing it to my cats. One stopped eating completely and after a few days of this, had to take to the vet, $800 later, it's thought that the food made him sick. Now my other cat has stopped eating it. Going back to my old food.

My cat loves it

Had my cat on what used to be a great dry food brand, but due to quality issues needed to switch cold turkey. Thankfully she took right to it and is doing well

This food seemed to upset Tess’ stomach.

She was scratching all the time and vomiting up this food, so I had to find another kibble.
