I don't understand why some cat food gets bad reviews because the cat doesn't eat it. There are 7 of them at our country house, plus a few tramps who come to eat and although they can be picky they all basically eat what we give them when they are hungry. They are fed three times a day and canned food is the morning meal, so perhaps the lack of food between 6pm and 6am makes this quite attractive. We have a cat that is about 17 years old and all she can eat is canned food. I can't comment on how good it is, but at less than 45 cents a can (including shipping), it's less than the local grocery store, which is about 45 miles away. like the vet. For the other 2 meals a day we feed her dry food (the grain free expensive kind) so canned food is a bargain too. We had a cat who got a kidney stone with urinary problems and the vet says it was from the arms. Ingredients of some dry cat foods. He wanted to put her on a special diet with Science Diet's special urinary tract compound and then put one of her regular formulas for life. It seemed a little useless because initially we fed the cats a decent food like Purina One. We did some research and found that most of the filler in most dry cat foods is actually grain, which is difficult for cats to digest. The diet we found involved homemade cat food consisting of shredded rabbit or chicken and the addition of some vitamins. I tried it and it worked, but it was a hassle to make, the rabbit isn't cheap or easy to find, and takes up a lot of freezer space. Going back to another search, and a viable alternative turned out to be canned cat food with some caveats and grain-free pellets. There aren't many fillers in canned food, and the most important ones for us are poultry, fish, and meat in pies or sauces. Cats are using this now and the kidney/urine problem is gone, their coat is better, their urine is less because they don't have to take in as much water to process their grains and they really enjoy what they are doing. we eat. We feed them Friskies & 9-lives in cans and Blue Buffalo Wilderness, Merrick Before Grain, Felidae or Taste of the Wild dry. Dry food is getting more expensive, packaging is getting smaller and free shipping offers are disappearing, so it's getting harder to get a deal now, but when we do, we buy more. I can't say enough about how well this new diet seems to be working and every trip to the vet saved is worth a lot of food. As long as Revane keeps doing business with it we will keep buying it, cats will keep eating it and it's 5 stars. I think. We have a 'Subscribe and Save' feature for some products, but it will probably disappear soon because it is difficult to ship and recently disappeared from some packaged products or the price increased significantly. I post the same review for every cat food we buy, rather than editing each one for a specific brand.
