Our cats LOVE this food!

As soon as I pick up the box, our 4 Maines get so excited! Then when I say Cate’, they really get excited. All 4 bowls are licked clean, meanwhile they are asking for more. I do wish this brand would come up with more flavor including beef, venison etc. They do not like any chicken or other poultry.

I appreciated the quality and unlike other reviewers I didn’t find the container troublesome. On the contrary I liked the fact that it was a tetra-pak. However, I tried most of the flavors available and my cats didn’t like them. I also noticed one of my cats developed acne on his chin after having half a case of these. For reference my rescue cats have lived on a raw diet for most of their lives since they came to me.

Good at 1st.

It smelled really good for cat food. My Freya really loved it at first. Half way thru the amout I had purchased, she turned her nose up to it.

Best cat pate !

I have older cats and the regular pate having natural flavors gives them tummy problems. This food they devour, asking for more with not upsets. Thanks Chewy!

My cats ate some of the flavors but it would upset their stomachs because they would vomit after eating. Switched to a more natural flavor

Cod Ruins the recipe

My cats do like the wet food by honest kitchen. They eat the chicken/chicken&beef happily, and I like giving them high moisture food in the morning to keep them hydrated. However, I know for a fact that my kitties love salmon, but they hate the salmon & cod wet food. To be fair, I don’t like cod either, and I'm convinced that this is what ruined the recipe. They turn their noses up and walk away every time, but will happily eat the other flavors if offered instead. I’m just disappointed because I have an entire pack of salmon and cod wet food that I don’t know what to do with and can’t currently afford to replace with a chicken flavor since these are pretty expensive. Cod sucks, so just beware that if you have picky kitties, they may not like the fish wet food.

I bought this from another vendor. At first, I only bought 2-3, and my picky old man seemed to really like it, so I bought a 12-pack case. Of course, upon me doing so, he quickly tired of it. I only got about 2-3 boxes into the case before he decided not to touch it at all, even with flavor enhancers. "Okay," I said to myself, "I'll just finish it off by feeding it to my younger, less picky cat." Well, he ALSO seems to have decided he doesn't much like it either. I'm having to mix it with my younger cat's other foods to make it more palatable to him so I can use these up. I won't be buying it again. (Also, if you have a cat who is texture sensitive, I need to note that this is not truly pate. It's really more a fine mince. I had to run mine in a blender for the old man while he was still willing to eat it.)

We were excited to find something new for our kits. Our kits on the other hand were not having it. We tried a few different approaches, but they did not take the bait. Sadly, we can't recommend this because it did not appeal to our kits, however, we liked the ingredients list so you might give it a try.
