Packaging isnt the BEST, only because there’s no resealable part to it. My cat LOVES this food, so much so theres HOLES in the bag. I also really do like this food,

Quality

My cats instantly dove for the bag as soon as I opened it, which is quite comical when there’s seven of them. They love this food and I love the quality and ingredients

Finally

I'm feeding a kitten and a senior cat who has issues maintaining her weight. I finally found a high quality food both cats love to eat. I alternate one meal wet

I'm feeding a kitten and a senior cat who has issues maintaining her weight. I finally found a high quality food both cats love to eat. I alternate one meal wet food with one meal dry and I think they enjoy this dry food almost as much as the wet.

Unappealing Food

The food was unappealing to all 3 cats, both in flavor and appearance. I bought this months ago and still have 3 of 4 pounds left. I'm sure it's a healthy product

The food was unappealing to all 3 cats, both in flavor and appearance. I bought this months ago and still have 3 of 4 pounds left. I'm sure it's a healthy product but if they don't eat it, what's the point?
