Everything was delivered quickly and directly to my door!

We went through quite a thing getting FedEx to deliver heavy boxes directly to my door but it seems that the problem is resolved! I am still testing the brands

We went through quite a thing getting FedEx to deliver heavy boxes directly to my door but it seems that the problem is resolved! I am still testing the brands of kitty litter and the cat food I ordered. The cats are about 85% pleased with the Instinct wet food. And I am about 85% pleased with the new kitty litter so far. The cats usually eat all their food, but not 100% of the time, so it may be certain flavors they don't like, I am still trying to figure out which ones. As for the kitty litter, it is much lighter than the feline pine we were previously using, so that is a huge plus for me. But it also tracks a lot more than the advertising made it sound. It gets into my bed which is not so cool. Working on ways to prevent that.

So this was an actual recommendation from the pros at Chewy. I had previously left a review for another brand and my cats would not eat it. I got an email from Chewy stating they were sorry the cat food did not work out a they were kind enough to offer some healthy cat food for picky eaters. This recommendation was a home run! My cats leave nothing behind when I give them the duck flavor!!!! Well done , Chewy!!!!! Bravo!!!!

This fed the ferals who eat everything I put in front of them. Not so my former stray Spooken who is so fussy she's skinny! And worries her Momma. I will say the salmon pate was so runny I thought it was a bits and gravy! Not pate. Won't purchase again

My cat won’t eat it

I’m currently trying to switch my cat from kitten to adult food, and decided to try out a couple of brands with good reviews to see what he likes and he refuses

I’m currently trying to switch my cat from kitten to adult food, and decided to try out a couple of brands with good reviews to see what he likes and he refuses to eat anything from this pack. He is not a picky eater at all, in fact this is the only time I’ve ever seen him turn something down. Not sure what it is, he’s just not a fan I guess.

It's raw.

Bandit loves the taste. And he's constantly begging for more! I'm only giving him half a can in the morning and half at night... again no weight loss.

We are in a wet food rut right now. Our Persians stopped eating their previous favorite Go! Wet food and we are trying to find something they will eat. This wet food smells great and I like the ingredients. But none of them would eat it. Not even the least picky one.
