Recommended for pancreatitis.
By Jess on Dec 24, 2020
This food was recommended on the top five list for cats with pancreatitis. My 17-year-old cat has been suffering with pancreatitis. He was also recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. He has lost so much weight. I really really hope this for helps. It was recommended because of its limited ingredients which is helpful for very inflamed tummies. I hope it works! I ordered it yesterday and I was actually surprised to find it on my doorstep early this morning Christmas Eve. Thank you so much Chewy for helping me give my Bear a good Christmas. I love him so much.

LOVES this Food!
By Drew on Jan 25, 2021
Had to change the diet for our cat after he was diagnosed with IBD. This brand was one of the recommendations. He loves it and can not get enough of it. Changing his diet to just this food has worked.

Favorite Flavor
By pcsmum on Jan 12, 2021
We feed this in rotation with the salmon and chicken flavors and by far it is our cat's favorite. She licks the food bowl clean and looks to us for more.

Old man rejected it
By Lisa on Jul 13, 2020
I was trying to transition from Instinct's wet and dry LID rabbit food because all of my cats had the stinkiest poo, the smell creeping into other rooms even when they immediately covered it. I'd gone to that food looking for a unique protein to try to help my old guy (14 yrs) with pancreatitis. I saw some other people had problems with their cats not liking it but Vinnie pretty much eats anything and wet food is still regarded as a super treat by all three cats. This morning, second day, first can, he walked away and had no interest. First time in his life when not actively sick he's rejected food. Especially wet. Heck, even when having a bad bout with pancreatitis he will still usually I was trying to transition from Instinct's wet and dry LID rabbit food because all of my cats had the stinkiest poo, the smell creeping into other rooms even when they immediately covered it.

The others will eat it, but the only reason I get any wet food at all is for him, so it won't be serving its purpose. Guess I'd better order some of the other stuff, pronto. … more

Stinky Poop Be Gone!
By Tuck on Jul 2, 2020
Not sure if Tucky likes this dish (he doesn't typically finish even a full 3oz can over the entire day) so much as it's super nutritious for him. I bought this to fight his STINKY poop & it worked perfectly. You could barely smell his excrement at all after I put him on this! Plus, I noticed a change in his appearance as well- he lost weight & his coat was nice & shiny and thicker than when he was on dry food. His breath was better, too. He loves the food when I open it for him- he licks all the broth off the top & nibbles for a bit, but he quickly kind of decides "eh, I'm done". Either he doesn't like it and merely tolerates it, or he gets full super quickly off it.

So far So Good
By GardeJoyeuse on May 16, 2020
My son had been after me to get my cats on wet food instead of dry (and it was the good dry) for quite some time, and so I finally took the plunge and tried this brand since this is what he recommended. Cats are so weird! One of them will gobble up the salmon and the other will turn away, but both of them will eat the duck and chicken. I noticed that within a week their coats were softer and they had more energy. In addition, my extremely overweight cat is beginning to lose weight!
