Is this bag Resealable ?

Answer by ChewyJul 14, 2022
These bags are not resealable.

Are these small cat sized bites? In the picture they appear larger than the typical cat kibble. My cat is 6 pounds and can only handle tiny bits.

Answer by ChewyJul 30, 2019
This recipe contains standard size cat kibble.

Ms. Ashley is a long haired girl with furball problems. In March it was discovered she had Peridontal disease and required 14 extractions. She has 6 front top and 6 front bottom teeth remaining. I found the pieces too small and too hard and she had difficulty eating. Also, she still had furball vomiting.

No hairball

My cat doesn’t like this one (I guess because she loves her grains), we tried to switch her completely to this one, but she doesn’t love it. You can literally see it on her face) so we give this one from time to time to help with hairball issues! It helps - as soon as we see her gagging, we switch to this one and give it for about a week and she is good. So probably she eats this one for about 1 week a month or two.
