I have purchased this numerous times and my cats like it but the last couple of bags have been too crumbly, like sawdust. I put it through a sieve and got almost a cup of grit. It's too bad because it was a good quality food but will be replacing with something else.

My cat loves this

She is very picky and this dry kibble seems to check all the boxes for her. She does occasionally walk away but if I put out a clean bowl with fresh kibble she eats

She is very picky and this dry kibble seems to check all the boxes for her. She does occasionally walk away but if I put out a clean bowl with fresh kibble she eats it again. I regularly dump the last 1/3 or so in her bowl and give her all fresh and she is happy with this routine and the kibble.

This food came highly recommended and we liked the first two bags. Our cat ate it well and seemed healthy on this food. Our third bag, however, kept crumbling into a powder that the cat would not eat as we poured it into the dish from a 3 qt plastic container. We are buying one more bag in hopes that that was only a problem with that batch.

My two cats like this dry food, I gave them the limited ingredient one when they were younger because they had sensitve bellys, and have upgraded to this! The only thing is, at the end of the bag, it is VERY crumbly and the cats cannot eat the essentially dust from the nuggets, and there is usually a lot of dust

Kinda crumbled and dusty

Cats seem to like the flavo, to a point. But their food has always been lots of small crumbled pieces and lots of pellet dust left in the bottom of the bag
