Epigen is Wysong's most concentrated diet, and a very slow, gradual introduction as per the feeding guidelines is necessary for most pets. Even then, not every pet will be able to consume this food long-term as a standalone meal. Wysong Epigen varieties are extremely nutrient dense, highly concentrated, starch-free diets. There is no other kibble diet like them on the market in terms of protein & nutrient concentration.

My cat really loves this food
By Hanna on Jan 29, 2021
I was so surprised to see that there are a lot of reviews that say some owners' cats don't like this food. My cat loves it! It's the only dry food he will eat. We're happy about that since it doesn't break the bank! It's good to check reviews for comments about a product, but since every pet is different, what someone's pet hates, yours may love. Keep that in mind!

WYSONG CAT FOOD
By njoy on Feb 1, 2021
My cats did not seem to like this the first day they ate it and after they didn't touch it i did mix in their normal cat food and they seem to eat that. But even i put outside for stray cats and they didn't seem to want it either. I will mix my remaining with other cat food when i get it and see how that goes.

Absolutely awful product
By orange1 on Aug 24, 2020
I have bought this product a couple of times in three years, on the basis that it is the highest quality dry cat food by composition with maximum protein. There's just one very simple problem that gets in the way: your cats will not eat it. They'll absolutely refuse. I went so far as to insert only 20-30 kibble pieces along with the a variety of other foods (both wet and dry) my cats would eat--the kibble being roughly similar in size and shape to the other dry ones. And sure enough, both my cats will eat every piece of kibble *except* for these ones. I counted the amount again...they did not even eat a single piece. Maybe I'm easily impressed, but I think that highlights the great lengths I have bought this product a couple of times in three years, on the basis that it is the highest quality dry cat food by composition with maximum protein.

Maybe I'm easily impressed, but I think that highlights the great lengths to which they detest this food. Other cats that are not mine (brought over for a visit) similarly balk and walk away when presented with a bowl. To the extent I was willing to only provide this food over a single weekend (because I finally ran out of the old food), they essentially went on hunger strike—they were willing to starve and make noises during the night that they were hungry rather than eat this stuff until finally I relented and bought some trash cat food from a major grocery store (something by the way, they've never ever tried). As someone in a similar review I looked up very generously said, "perhaps it's just too healthy." This food is an absolute waste of your time. Don't buy it—or be prepared to return this product and buy more cat food. You've been warned. … more

Great for diabetic dog!
By Aimee on Sep 14, 2020
My parents dog was diagnosed with diabetes. I researched and thought I would give this a try. I had it shipped to them. They saw great results in the first week. They use half this and half typical dog food. Slowly getting her away from what she was eating. This was recommended because of the diet change to high protein. She loves it and is doing well.

Cat refuses to eat it
By Nicole on Sep 24, 2020
I hate giving this a 1 star but my cat refused to eat this food. I started mixing it into her old food and she would just eat around these kibbles. I’ve seen some other comments about cats not liking this so maybe it’s a common theme.

Cats are not a fan
By jeN7 on Jul 23, 2020
My cats LOVE Wysong Vitality, but they absolutely refuse to eat this flavor. I even tried cutting it with their favorite kibble but they won't eat anything that touches this. I know it's healthy for cats but apparently my cats are not too keen on slight differences between Epigen and Vitality. So I guess just be wary of flipping between the flavors? If you have picky cats, they might not be too happy with this subtle change.

Slow and steady
By Catherine on May 27, 2020
I was concerned about the negative reviews about cats throwing up the food and refusing to eat. My older kitty has a habit of occasionally throwing up and definitely takes a while to warm up to new food (even if she decides later that she ADORES it). It's been a couple weeks now of mixing this with her old food, 1/2 tbsp more per day. She definitely picked out this food to eat last for a while and refused to eat when I tried giving her only this food halfway through the process (got lazy). However, with the slow taper up, she's eating most of the food every day and has actually vomited LESS than she used to with her previous 2 food types (Purina One being the worst offender).

extremely small
By Selena on Jun 24, 2020
The food is extremely small my cat couldn’t keep them in his mouth. They fell out of his mouth covered in spit and mixed with the food. He likes the taste but I’m going to have to dump the spit covered leftovers after he’s done. After this bag I’m going to get him something else. Bummer because my ferret eats this brand and I like the brand.

Great food for a diabetic dog
By angel on Jun 11, 2020
was searching for a dog food that was better then what the vet prescribed, and boom there it was. I mean really how can a dog food filled with grains and starches be good for a dog with diabetes, when the starches need to be at a minimum. vets and pet parents, need to research more and not follow the hype that companies do make . ty Chewy for being there where a person can research and make informed choices

Best 'non-prescription' diabetic diet
By wendy on Jul 18, 2020
I am so pleased that my diabetic dog loves this diet! No prescription is necessary and it is easy and quick to prepare. I add 2 tbs. Wysong Epigen canned meat and feeding has become effortless....so easy to keep glucose under control!
