Having a fish allergy really narrows down the choices of food for cats. Lots of foods use fish or fish oil as a supplement. I finally found this one after a bunch of research. After reading the reviews, a lot were not the greatest and people are upset about a change in formula. I understand that feeling, it happened to me with Halo - which is why I’m here. The upside is that my cat loves this food. Like not just “oh yay food,” but “GIVE ME FOOD NOW!!!!” I have thirsty an dry version of this flavor and he loves them both. The dry pieces are a bit larger than other brands, which I kind of like. I think it forces him to eat slower, because he has to chew it vs the ability just swallow a bunch of tiny pieces that he pulling later. Regardless, I’m happy with my purchase. Hope it continues to be good for my cat!

Food trials with my longhaired boy. He's had to be on prednisolone for the past two years, on and off. It's somewhat seasonal but it's so hard to know for sure so we are trying the limited ingredient food in hopes this helps. So far both cats like it.

i had to switch to this dry food to cut chicken out of one of my cat's diets. i switched them both because it's easier. they both love the food! the kibbles are larger than other dry food i have used, but my cats don't mind that and i prefer it because they might even consider chewing it sometimes.

Our Kitty was put on a minimum ingredient food because she was having some tummy problems and she's been on it for 3 years now. And she really loves it. I just have to remember to change it out because if it gets a little stale she gets bored, so I put a fresh batch in and she's all over it.

This product was suggested by my fur babies allergy lab results by her veterinarian because she is allergic to everything! This product is free of the things that causes her allergies to flare up! She didn’t care for the rabbit flavor so I switched her to turkey and she LOVES it! I’m so thankful this product is available for her as well as many other allergy prone babies

Great for my allergy cat.

I love how simple the ingredients are. My cat is allergic to chicken and most turkey recipes sneak in chicken.

Limited Ingredient Diet - Grain Free

Meow! The cats are adjusting to their new food without any major issues. One has allergies & needs a Limited Ingredient Diet & the others seem to enjoy it as well

Meow! The cats are adjusting to their new food without any major issues. One has allergies & needs a Limited Ingredient Diet & the others seem to enjoy it as well. It's too soon to tell if it's going to help his allergies but it was a good alternative to Science Diet Z/D hydrolyzed protein in a multi-cat household.

was hopeful

my cat loved it at first and then i started noticing major hair loss; i think he may be allergic to turkey, so unfortunately this did not work for us.
