KASIKS Cage-Free Turkey Formula Grain-Free Canned Cat Food

If there is a cleaner, safer pet food on the market, I haven't seen it yet. From ingredients to toxin-free cans, Kasiks can't be beat. I believe this is a completely honest limited ingredient and single source protein diet for your cat. Kasiks is manufactured in a human-grade facility, and this family-owned Canadian company has never had a recall. From free-range fowl to wild caught fish, everything in the can (and including the can) is wholesome and safe - no grain, no potato, no gluten, no gums, no carrageenan, no mystery flavors or colors. I was told that their vitamins and minerals are responsibly sourced from USA and France (as memory serves), with nothing from China.

Their poultry farm is only a few miles down the road from their manufacturing plant. The chicken and turkey formulas have a texture similar to that of ground meat , with a good amount of broth (not too soupy) to provide the all important moisture cats need. The wild caught Pacific Coho salmon has a beautiful texture and quality, however, could use more broth. I've been meaning to contact their very accessible customer service dept. to make that suggestion, but for now I just add some water. To transition food products, I would suggest starting out with a teaspoon-tablespoon of Kasiks, topped or mixed with the familiar food. I've been using Kasiks for several years, and have found it necessary to continue doing this with my really picky guys. From feedback I’ve received, some cats are going to eat this food, and some are not. My cats prefer this food fresh out of the can, and are less enthusiastic after being stored in the fridge overnight (the food, not the cats!). … more

All of my cats like this food--even my fussy cat who really won't eat any canned food at all. The problem is that they only like it right out of the can. Each of my cats has a feeder activated by their microchip so I know who is eating what and how much (and some are on special diets). The Sure Feeds also help keep canned food fresh when left out. All other canned foods (and we have tried many!) they will come back and graze on over the course of the day. Not Kasicks. They LOVE it when I first put it out but won't touch it after 1-2 hours. I have even experimented with giving them no other food to see if they'll eat it then. Nope. It's like they'd rather starve.

I researched 50-60 brands of canned cat food and Kasiks (made by FirstMate) is by far the best. Limited ingredients and nothing unnecessary like carrageenan, guar gum, xanthan gum, etc. Even among premium brands, it's almost impossible to find a food without these types of additives/thickeners. It's a very moist pate, but not soupy or runny. Very easy to stir (ingredients can separate so it needs to be stirred). I ordered a case of Turkey and my very picky male cat ate about 4 cans and then refused to touch it again (despite coaxing and several future attempts). I gave the remaining cans to my other 3 (2 females, 1 male) and they ate it, but soon the male turned his nose up at it too.

The picky eater LOVES the salmon variety (for many reasons I only feed fish two meals a week) and has been eating the chicken formula everyday for 7 months now. Salmon and chicken Kasiks formulas are popular with the others too. … more

We got this food to go with a more limited ingredient approach for a cat with significant GI issues. He loves it. There isn't a struggle to get him to eat it. He is usually waiting for the food and will remind us when it isn't out for him. The fact that we don't have to provide multiple options for him and he keeps eating this food is amazing. Pros: Cat eats it, cat licks his bowl clean, limited ingredients, high quality food Cons: Cans are bigger (making it harder to split, unless done by weight)

Thought this would be a food all 6 kitties would like.....not so much.Each time I try to put this in their dishes, if they even take a bite they walk away.My senior kitty of 19 years old is the only one who will eat it.I keep trying to mix it with food they like.Sometimes that works.

This is a great alternative to prescription diet for cats with sensitive stomachs. A good wholesome food, but you will need to alternate for variety to keep them satisfied.

Completed REJECTED by All 3 Cats, None of Which is Finicky. What in the World is going on KASIKS?

I had bought a can of Kasiks Turkey and one of their Chicken formula at a local pet store to see if my cats liked it before ordering a case of each from Chewy. Maybe because it was something different, they seemed to really enjoy it the first time, but since receiving the two cases, they are now very indifferent to it. Lick off the gravy and won't eat the food. Very disappointing, as it certainly looks like a decent food, without all the added 'nasties' that so many brands still include.

I tried this brand to give my cats a higher quality food, however they don't like it. I also tried another high quality brand and they won't eat that either. Unfortunately I think I have to go back to giving them low quality Friskies, which they love.

We gave Kasiks a try because it is made in Canada and has a short list of high quality ingredients. The cats are eating it with enthusiasm. They seem to really like the consistency.
