Gather Free Acres Organic Free-Run Chicken Dry Cat Food

I was looking for a food (Vs just treats and supplements) that would support my cats’ urinary tract health. I also will not feed my animals anything with by-products or meals. This is it! My cats took to it immediately, even though they’ve been eating nothing but Halo (and some daily sauces or soups separately for added liquids). They Absolutely Love It!

My cats are extremely picky and I've been looking for a healthy organic option for them (I've tried them all). This is definitely their favorite and I love the brand's mission and their quality ingredients. We will continue to purchase this!

My cats are eating it, so that's a plus. The pellets are super tiny though so I'm not sure if I'll continue to buy it since larger pellets work more plague off.

My kitty gobbled it down & then brought it back up. She will not eat it now. Maybe the pieces were too small & she didn't chew them enough.

Good ingredients but two problems with the food. First, the protein content is TOO low. I was feeding farmina with much higher protein which is necessary for cats. I stopped because the last 3 bags were greasy which brings me to my second observation which is the kibble is too small. I use kibble dispensers/treat balls as my cat will eat too much at once. The greasy kibble stuck to the ball and the small kibble falls right out. I can't adjust the opening to be small enough. So I will be looking again. I wish I could go back to Farmina but after 3 bad bags I am afraid to.

So far this dry food has worked out well. Even as good as this is, I know my senior cats need canned food too. I always add a little filtered water and mix it in their canned food to increase their water intake because I have this dry food left out for them to nibble on. They get fed small servings of canned food throughout the day. I understand that dry food could cause issues with their health for 2 reasons; 1 type of ingredients in it and 2 it pulls water from their body to process it. They need the additional water to maintain their health.

For dry food I selected Gather) I know it is important to make sure no cat is ever fed only a dry food diet as it causes so many health issues. I made that mistake many years ago. But it is my opinion is that a really good quality dry food works as a supplement in case they get hungry and need to eat between meals. (My senior cats need to eat small meals often, so this works for my cats. ) The food itself is small pieces, which also makes it easier for a cat to eat. … more

I have desperately been searching for a cat food for a very long time that has limited ingredients and that could help one of my two cats with her sensitive stomach and her constant itchiness and bathing which may be due to an allergy. Finding this food that also has no GMOs was certainly going to be an option to try. So far so good, this is fairly new so I will keep you posted.

I love the idea of this food, as a vegan, organic, healthy eater myself I make sure my cat-kids eat as healthfully as possible, too. So I was excited about this food and the clean ingredients, but I didn’t check the protein percentage until I had ordered it. It’s only 30%, which is very low. Cats are obligate carnivores and thrive on high protein and a good amount of fat. Their bodies make all the vitamins they need, unlike human bodies, and while they do need some mineral supplementation, this company skimped on actual meet, apparently. I hope the people who make Gather will reformulate their cat food. Until then I won’t buy more.

I have a picky Persian cat mix who is a super messy eater and has trouble picking up his food (he’s missing some teeth) I decided to try this food because it has really high grade organic ingredients, is made in Canada, and a reviewer mentioned that the pieces are real small. I have never seen my cat get so excited for a dry food before; no lies!! He eats this like it’s a treat and he can eat it! Yay! No more messy clean up or picky cat! I plan on switching my dogs to Gathers dry dog food soon.

I'm sure the quality of this food is fine, but my cats hated the taste and refused to eat it - all three of them.
