Bag was Torn
By Unhappy on Apr 21, 2020
I recommend the food if you have a diabetic cat, but when I received my order the bag had a tear in it. I didn't notice until I tried to get some food out of the bag and it was coming out of the side. There was a red strip of tape where they tried to "fix" the rip. It didn't fix it. They should not have sold the bag with this rip in it. If I wasn't almost out of the food I would have returned it.

All my cats love this!
By Granny on May 4, 2020
This diabetic dry cat food has become the preferred dry food for all 6 of my cats. They all liked their other dry food quite well until I gave your diabetic brand to my diabetic cat, Andre. I can't keep the bowl full! And the previous dry cat food bowl doesn't get eaten very quickly.

Slow on Rx approval
By Midg on May 13, 2020
Great product. But had to wait nearly a week for the Rx to go through. I gave them all the information they needed, but it took to longer than expected, so I had to purchase the same product that I ordered from a local pet store.

Product is great, shipping not so
By Etcomp4 on Mar 19, 2020
Product is great. It was shipped with 2 additional Items, 2 small bags of cat treats, (also great), and 1 - 40 lb. bag of cat liter. Package was delivered with the top tape completely open exposing product shipped and the corner ripped half way down the side of box. Either shipping containers need to be made of double wall corrugated or maybe shipped in separate containers so that small or light items don't ship with heavier items. I thought for sure something would be missing from shipment. Good thing it wasn't raining or the shipment would have been useless.

The best dry food out there
By WOODMAN on May 4, 2020
Other than fresh roasted chicken off the bird, shredded and drenched with fresh chicken stock from the crock, this is our cat's favorite food. It is certainly the healthiest available. Dollar for dollar, the best value.

Good product for diabetic cat
By Sue100 on May 18, 2020
I get this from my vet and the price is similar. I bought it from Chewy because the price of needles for my diabetic cat is much cheaper than through the vet and I wanted to get free shipping from Chewy.

Seem to love it
By Mart51 on May 5, 2020
I have a diabetic cat who we are having quite a time getting his glucose adjusted with insulin. Happy that he and his fellow buddy both love this dried cat food, high protein with low glycemic index.

Good stuff but pricey
By PowerBeanie on Apr 16, 2020
Our Diabetic cat and other 4 sneaky cats love this food but the cost for 10 pounds of cat food is insane! As much as our cat loves this, I don't know if we can afford to keep getting this food and will have to look into other options.

feline dm dry
By Kitty on Mar 30, 2020
So, my cats needed to switch to this prescription due to getting older. Way better for muscle mass - it is lost as one ages. They really seem to like it. I even bought some cans from my vet. I give them a can a few times a week and unlimited dry. They stay happy.
