NOTE: Wysong Epigen is made with unprecedented protein levels and a highly nutrient-dense recipe that may not be right for all pets. It is very important that Epigen be introduced gradually as outlined in the Feeding Guidelines in order to help prevent digestive upset, especially when transitioning from a lower-protein diet or one that has been fed continuously over a long period of time.

This food has wonderfully healthy ingredients except that my cats only picked at it and often ate the wet food around it and left the kibble. I don't pay much attention when I see one person's cat that doesn't like something but in this case I have 26 rescues of all ages with various preferences and only 3 or 4 seemed to go for this. Perhaps it was too healthy. If I left it out they would eventually eat it so I'm rating it 3 stars.

This a great dog food. NO STARCH!!! This kibble is baked at low temps and has low carbs, no by products, no grains. The kibble bites could be made bigger but the process that goes into making it may not allow for that. Cancer parents should try this.

I bought this too add to my cats food line a topper. They pulled it out of their bowl and dropped it on the floor. They all went back and ate their weight loss food. Now I'm stuck with all this extra food.

I don't know how this will work out. I gave my mini wirehair dachshund 1/4 cup at one time. A few hours later he brought it up. Now I am mixing with other dry food 4 to 1 ratio. When I gave him the .25 cup he ate it no broblem. In speaking with Wysong they dont recomend using Epigen as the first Wysong food. I have the bag and will see. I give dry morning and wet evenings. My mini wirehair dachshund may be prone to Lafora based on pedigree. He cant convert starch to sugar so it will accumulate on brain cells and cause seizures. My thoughts are starch free food.

I purchased this moderately priced food for my 4 year old, overweight, and not particularly picky kitty. I selected this food after it received a good review from a third party website (review of ingredients and protein, carbs, and fats content only, not lab tested). I was excited to purchase a food that was higher in protein than my sweet girl has been getting, and hoping it would help her feel more full and energetic to lose some weight. I used the recommended food switching protocol of adding a little more of the new food each day as you reduce the amount of the old food. On the first couple of days, it appeared as though my kitty ate some of the Wysong food, but left most of it behind.

On the first couple of days, it appeared as though my kitty ate some of the Wysong food, but left most of it behind. I kept feeding about 1/4 Wysong and 3/4 old food for well over a week, without change. I increased to half of each food to see if I could convince her to eat the new food if she was a little more hungry; this did not work. I even tried to camouflage the Wysong food by adding the water from a can of tuna; I just ended up with a bowl full of soggy black kibble, and all of the other food picked out. I know that she accepts food changes, as I have successfully switched her to Science Diet on the recommendation of our veterinarian without an issue. The only good thing that came out of this bag of food, is that my overweight kitty has lost a noticeable amount of weight due to the fact that she refused to eat this kibble, even with her most favorite tuna water. This was a waste of time, money, and effort. … more

Cat, Mr Picky, Smokey, hasn't eaten it yet. Now Gyz, our dog, will, if no homemade is offered. But. NEITHER really likes to eat kibble of any kind and only deign to do so when it's all that's in their bowls when they're peckish.

I was looking for a starch free dog food due to chronic UTIs. I had tried grain free dog foods but the UTIs continued. She likes this food and did not get sick. No more stinky urine. Love it.

Like the high protien in this food, used it to mix into our current food to add some variety. Definitely want to follow instructions on introducing slowly, I will be interested in purchasing again in the future.

This was a definite fail for my cats, but it's still a decent food. They were eating the Wysong Epigen 90 which they all love, but it's twice as expensive as this one. Since they mostly eat canned now, I thought it would be ok to have a less expensive dry food even though I don't like the ingredients quite as much (hello, potato protein?) as the Epigen 90. Well, they ALL hate it, all 6 of them. They refuse to eat it, even when mixed with other food they still manage to pick it out and leave it in the bowl. I recommend it and give it 3 stars because it's still a decent food, very high in protein and nutritionally superior to similarly priced "grocery store" brands.

Dogs devour this in a heart beat........ the cat went on a starvation strike with this in his bowl.... no way, no way at all. Great food, would rather it state "non-GMO", but the plus is it does not contain soybean oil or canola. This is huge leap forward compared to the others out there with carbs way over 35% of their content!!!!
