Ragdoll can’t get enough!
By Popoki on Apr 10, 2021
This food saved the day!! We have a 12 year old ragdoll that stopped eating dry food a year ago and only wants the canned stuff. He wakes us up at all hours of the night to feed him and it would be a huge issue for our cat sitter when we travel. We have tried several different brands and textures and knowing that he loves freeze dried “toppers” we decided to give this food a try. I feel like we struck gold!! He loves it!! It smells awful if you feed your cats in a small room (we have our cats food in a small bathroom) you might want to leave this stuff in a dish in a larger well ventilated room. It smells like Fritos or the weird smell that dogs feet have. If you have a dog you know what I’m This food saved the day!!

My kittens go wild!
By foxwaffles on Apr 8, 2021
My kittens have now learned how to pull out the cloth bin I keep these in, reach in, claw out the bag, tear it open, and eat the whole thing. They go absolutely bananas for this stuff. I use this as a treat to supplement their diet. It had the side effect of making their poop smell a lot better too so I will keep it in their diet. My 12 year old girl is also becoming picky and she likes these too.

Won't be a regular menu item
By Soozinpa on Mar 30, 2021 top500Contributor
I like to give my cats freeze dried on the side in addition to their other foods. They get bored quickly so I try new items, this being one. They'll eat a little of it only if I don't put any other food out. Great size and soft enough for a toothless cat. Comforting to know they are getting something very healthy and easy on the tummy. But this isn't a favorite so I won't be repurchasing.

Charlotte and Natasha like it
By Msmaria on Mar 5, 2021 top500Contributor
Always a drag trying something new or different but these worked for the kittos. They aren’t crazy about the shape or dryness so I smashed them with my fingers and added a bit of hot water. Without the water, they won’t eat this. I use this as an afternoon treat between feedings. 12-15 of these pellets.

Fonzie loves this stuff
By Fonziesmom on Jan 31, 2021
Fonzie the cat was recently very ill and lots lots of weight. We decided to step up the food game and introduce a healthier, raw diet to him to gain strength, health and weight. He ate it right up. He only has a few teeth left, so kibble is no good for him, and this stuff is softer and easier for him to chew. I also add warm water to it, and a bit of his previous wet food to wean him off it slowly. He eats more than he ever has. And he has not thrown up in weeks.. BONUS!! This is a more manageable and less expensive way to get cats on a raw diet. I highly recommend it ;)

My boys do not like it
By Dot301 on Apr 10, 2021
Sadly, while my boys LOVE Instinct dry and canned food.. they turned their noses up to the raw. They much, very much, prefer Stella & Chewy’s raw. So this was a no-go for our family. :(

My picky cat likes it!
By pippintwosie on Mar 16, 2021
I am supplementing my picky eater with healthy food. I was surprised that he likes it, because it looks like a pile of pencil erasers. I also give him grain-free wet canned food and dry kibble daily. Glad this is something else that he likes.

Good product
By David on Mar 17, 2021
My cat loves this brand of food. He is extremely picky. I stur in warm water and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then it's perfect.

Great freeze dried raw
By Wendy on Jan 25, 2021 top1000Contributor
My cats like eating this and still small enough it fits through my automated feeder. My cats like to eat them dry and before they ate all the rawboost mixers but it’s great they have one for food. Wish they include other flavors as well.

Not so finicky now
By Janice on Jan 8, 2021
Cats are very finicky. Most times they leave food in their bowl and then snub it later on. Not when I add this as a topper! My girl eats her food all the way down to the bottom of the bowl and we don’t waste food anymore. I just crush two pieces and mix it in with her Sheba. Everyone is happy.
