I want to know how it can be nutrionally valuable for all ages of cats.

Answer by ChewyJan 29, 2019
The basic life stages recognized by AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials), the organization that sets the standards used by US pet food manufacturers, are Adult Maintenance, and Growth/Reproduction. The latter includes everything that isn't simple adult maintenance: gestation (pregnancy), lactation (nursing) and growth (puppies and kittens). This food meets the requirements for adult maintenance as well as the more stringent nutritional requirements for growth and reproduction.

Do you need to wean your cats to this from a different dry food?

Answer by ChewyJan 09, 2019
It's important to introduce the new food into your pet's diet gradually. To ensure a happy tummy, we recommend transitioning your pet to “I and love and you” using this easy 10 day schedule. Day 1 - 3 25% "I and love and you", day 4 - 6 50% "I and love and you", day 7-8 75% "I and love and you", day 9-10 100% "I and love and you".

I've been using this food for my cats more than two years and they do great on it! No one has gotten sick of it and all still gobble it up. With 13 cats, I don't free feed. I feed on a schedule twice a day. Maybe that helps, but no one is overweight. Highly recommended! Ialso had the need to contact the company once for some food that I got at another store a while back. They were very responsive and made the situation right. So I highly recommend the company as well.

None of my gang would eat this it sat in their bowls. Weird because my gang loves salmon and Trout. The cat food didn't smell that great when you open the bag. I only have two pickey eaters but my other felines are regularly good eaters.

I give my cats grain-free kibble. I recently decided to switch to this product, and both of my cats love it! My older cat who is a picky eater couldn't wait to taste it! One thing to note, though: My older cat's stool became soft immediately after the switch. So, I crushed a probiotic tablet and mixed it into her wet food, and her stool went back to normal. If you're changing cat food, have probiotics handy just in case.

Little man loves the small kibble

My picky senior boy really enjoys the super small kibble. He doesn't experience digestive issues with this food, either. Highly recommend.

Size

My indoor cat did not care for it but the outside cats I feed like it. It's a nice size for them to eat too.

Cats love it!

We've tried multiple foods for our cats, but this is the only dry food the cats get mad if they don't have, leaving other dry food brands in the bowls uneaten.

Love it

My cat loves it. I have been feeding him this food for over a year now. As long as it has high protein content and seafood flavor he would eat it.

Tiny kibbles

Neither of my cats much cared for it. They usually don't leave any food in their dish but they just kinda locked at this one. Also the crunchies are really smal
