At least 3 of my 7 cats like. It gets gone . I buy 3 to 4 kinds of kibble, because all 7 cats are never going to like the same food. Seems to be good ingredients. My cats are aging so I try to avoid cheapie brands that are appealing but not nutritionally sound.

Since our girl seemed to be getting a little chunky, I decided to add some 'diet' food into her mix of dry food. She took to it immediately, which as any cat owner knows is huge! Although she still gets a mix, the 'mix' is now mostly Science Diet Light Weight Management. It hasn't been long enough to see if she's losing weight though. I'm just happy she's eating it!

My cat enjoys this kibble combined with another kibble for sensitive stomach & skin. Too early to tell about my boy Tate’s weight loss, but being @ 17.5lbs at the vet, had to try something in cutting back the calorie intake. He also gets two small meals of wet pate for a total of 270 kcal a day. Hopefully this cut back will help.

Cats all love it!

We will continue to order this product. I did not think a weight control product would taste good, but the cats love it.

Switched from regular to light and they are eating it!

I am pleased both cats are eating the dry food with the switch from regular to light. One cat needs to lose weight so our vet recommended the switch.

Picky cat loves it!

Ordering a shipment was so simple it came on time. I just wished I could keep the Discount instead of just being for the first or second order.

My cats love it and it is working

My cats love this food and it is helping just as much as their more expensive prescription Hills food was! They also love the flavor and smaller, softer kibbles
