Quality food. Good ingredients that I look for in kibble. In line with the types of kibble I get for my three cats. Only one of the three halfheartedly at some. The other two refused it, including my least picky one. I gave the remaining kibble to the feral cats, birds, and outdoor animals, and it wasn't refused by any of them. The kibbles are also oddly kitten sized pieces, so may not be good for cats who like bigger pieces to crunch. I gave 4 stars because of the ingredient formulation with high protein and quality nutrients, and the fact that all outside animals ate it.

I have 3 cats and all 3 of them ate it. I did mix it with their regular food at first, so it didn’t upset their stomachs. I think the small kibble size helped prevent them from eating too fast and throwing up. I would purchase this for my cats. Maybe a turkey version would be good too.

My cats, almost all 13 of them, zoomed into this food the moment I served it. I could hear yum, yum, yum from every room in my house. Obviously, they love it. And I love it, too. A little goes a long way and it seems to be quite filling as after eating these, the cats have reduced the number of times a day they beg for food. I love the fact that it’s natural. And if my cats are happy, I am happy.

My cats love this food!! We tried to mix with their old food when transitioning over, but they would spit out the old food and only eat this. Cats are too smart for their own good. This is quality food though. It fills them up, so we’re not going through an endless supply of kitty food. Cat tested, mom approved.

I cleaned out my cats’ bowls and put this new food in with no special introduction. They went for it immediately. Although the kibbles were smaller than their normal food, I felt like they didn’t need their bowls refilled as often. As if this food kept them satisfied longer. One of them is having an ale reaction (on going, not related to this food) that the vet can’t figure out. If we have to change their food, I would like to go to this one.

I received a promotional bag of this food from Chewy and I can attest that all 13 of them love it. When I first served it, I think that ten of them had their heads in the bowl. It must be very filling, as I have not been bugged for food while the bag lasted. I might add it to my next autoship because it seems that a little goes a long way.

These are very small pieces of food. I am not sure if it is agreeing with my cats bowls/stomach. I did mix it with their food. I liked all the ingredients and the health benefits so I wanted my cats to like this. I can giving my cats more time hoping they get use to the food.

My older cat Pixie loved this food but surprisingly the three tiny (less than 2 lbs) foster kittens also loved it. Great kibble size for their tiny mouths. Getting them to eat has been a challenge so I was thrilled when all three started eating it right away. It will help them gain the needed weight to find forever homes for them.
