Good Wholesome Ingredients

Always looking for a clean more natural wholesome food without all the unneeded fillers and gunk for my 3 kids, one having a sensitive tummy and not able tolerate many foods or proteins for that matter. This may be pricey but I can't put a price in their little lives for the time that they are with me. EVERYONE gobbles it up and my senior girl keeps it down. I alternate between this and the Air & Gamefowl. Kitties need real meat protein which this food provides.

My cats try to bury it

I was very hopeful that they would eat it but absolutely not. The both immediately try to cover it up and won't touch it. They do love the dry food.

Great ingredients, trustworthy brand, but cats HATE it

I was very happy to read the ingredients in this cat food when I was trying to find another option for my cat with food allergies. This brand is very well trusted

I was very happy to read the ingredients in this cat food when I was trying to find another option for my cat with food allergies. This brand is very well trusted and has never had a recall, so when reading the ingredients and seeing everything I wanted to see and nothing that I didn't want to see, I was extremely hopeful that this would be a food that would be permanently added into our new food rotation. However, the cats hate it! Not just one cat either, but every cat - even the one who I call the "garbage disposal" won't eat this food. The food itself is an extremely wet, lightly textured pate, that unfortuately is just unappetizing brown slop. The cats insist it's inedible. Even the "feline garbage disposal" that eats ANYTHING. Great ingredients. Terrible product. I'm honestly shocked. I really expected this to be a great food based on the company and the ingredients.

I really wanted to like this product since it shows having mostly protein as the main ingredients. However, after the first two can I noticed one of my cats was throwing up. I also watch my second cat eat, otherwise she doesn't finish & my other cat will push her out of her bowl. While I was watching her eat I noticed something in her bowl that didn't look right, but she ate before I had a chance to really get a good look. So the next day while preparing their dinner I looked closely at the food & was shocked to find pin bones as well as other bone pieces/fragments. I don't have any other food on hand right now, so I spent 10 minutes cleaning the bones out of the food. It is too bad, because the cats really enjoy the taste of the food otherwise, but I simply cannot risk my cats health on this badly made food.

They LOVE LOVE LOVE the Essence hard food. I was hopeful that they would love the wet food too. I wish these cat food makers would get smart and sell in smaller cans. I would continue to buy it in a 3 oz can if they did. My four boys will not eat anything that is not served that day from an opened can. It is my life. So, i can split a small can between two if they like it. In this case, i have two who will eat it and two who will not. A full can in one serving with these fatties is not an option. I am not wasting half a can, so this one is not an option in my house til they come out with smaller cans. I am disappointed as this food is great.

If cats could talk, they'd say no thanks

Tried this flavor wet food since I fed my cats the dry from this brand. Unfortunately, they wouldn't eat it at all, just kept trying to cover it up. Maybe other
