FINALLY FOUND REPLACEMENT - CATS LOVE THIS
My sweet grandkitty's eat the way all my many rescue cats have eaten over many years, with nutritious human-grade food. There's one cat who prefers seafood flavor over chicken, and when his favorite seafood changed their formula, he suddenly would not eat it anymore so I went in search of another brand, and it's been difficult satisfying his picky tastebuds. Last month just before checking out, this new brand caught my eye. Oddly, if it's not expensive they won't eat it. I sure lucked out because the cats love the Essence Ocean & Freshwater Recipe.
Thumbs Down
I hate giving a bad review but I thought that I was getting my cats a healthy treat. The message was loud and clear and my cats even left the kitchen. I feed a good premium kibble from Solid Gold which they really like so they are used to grain free. This kibble has a very strong smell which even seemed a little off putting. When they said no I was saddened. I tried to give what was in the bowl to my Labrador, he took a bite and spit it out ! He will eat anything. Well, needless to say, I will dispose of the remainder of the bag.
Not a favorite
We had 4 cats when I tried this recipe. Not one of them showed much interest, only eating it if there was nothing else. The kibble has a really STRONG fish smell, to the point where I double bagged it to try to contain the smell. Also, the bag contained a lot of crumbs. I'm not sure if that was a result of the packaging process or that the kibble crumbled easily. Either way, that was another reason for the cats not to eat it as they don't seem to like crumbs.
Great dry food
This is one of the healthier dry foods I've found. Would never feed 100% dry diet, but awesome as a food topper and treat. The cats love this stuff!
Must be Good - But Not happy with the leaked waste in the packing box
Well, I hadn't opened this package when it first arrived, due to many hey reasons, but my cats sure knew there was FOOD in there as they kept scratching and biting at the box. Well, I finally opened it some days after receiving it -- and somehow during shipping a lot of the Dry Cat Food was all over inside the box and packaging, thus it went all over the floor when the box was completely opened. I let them eat from the floor until they had enough and then cleaned up the rest and threw it away with the remainder of wasted cat food. NOT the way I expect to use a Good cat food for the first time ordering. VERY Disappointed to say the least.
Solid Choice
Quality ingredients, reasonable price. One of my cats really enjoys eating this flavor; the other prefers Essence Air and Gamefowl. There haven't been any upset stomachs alternating between the two flavors. The kibble are small but this seems to help the older cat from dropping bits.
Kitties like it.
Its quality food and a win with the kitties. They like having this added to their smorgasbord. Essence is a good brand & comparable in price, or a bit better, with other quality brands.
Cats say, "No Thank You"
I was sure that my cats would love this when I opened the bag because it smells (powerfully) of fish but, alas, they refused to eat it. I have a LOT of cats and they ALL refused to eat this food. I even picked up their other dry food and withheld treats and they still wouldn't eat it (but got very good at tripping me to get my attention so I'd feed them). I have absolute confidence that this is a great product and would make my cats healthier (which is why I gave it two stars instead of one) - IF they'd eat it that is... maybe it would have worked if I had started them on this food as kittens (like a child that grows up in a house that eats lots of vegetables)? I even tried mixing it with canned food but they left that too so the stray cat got it. He did eat it but it wasn't his normal "chow down" eating so I'm guessing it's not very palatable to the cats. Maybe it's just that my cat's have eaten the cat equivalent of "McDonalds" all their lives and aren't interested in changing to quality, nutritionally dense food?
Yet another failure
I had such high hopes that this would be the one, but he will not touch it. Also, I found it fairly malodorous.
Ghost's favorite food
She has a sensitive stomach and after a year, we finally found a cat food that she doesn't throw up. It definitely stinks, but worth it.
