Not what I expected

The squares did not crumble as the pork and chicken do so it was difficult for the cats to eat even after a long soaking.

This fit in our automatic feeder so we were able to go out of town overnight. When we got home, it was a blessing to see no cat puke like when they have to have kibble on rare occasions.

Cats enjoyed it

They liked it but the chunks are too big and difficult to crush. I had to soak them overnight and cut them up with scissors

Good but they seem to have changed their packaging

Got a bag of Beef and Salmon formula. It didn’t say “raw” on the bag so I think they’ve changed the look of the package from what’s now available online. My package

Got a bag of Beef and Salmon formula. It didn’t say “raw” on the bag so I think they’ve changed the look of the package from what’s now available online. My package wasn’t expired and it seemed ok even though the bricks are very hard. One of my cats liked the bricks and started gnawing on it. The others waited for me to crumble it and pour a bit of water on it.
