My cats enjoy it and they seem to be losing some weight also which is great. With the prices of cat food going up it’s almost the same price as Fancy Feast which is just empty calories. Including meat byproducts in the food is just a cheap way for a company of finding a solution for all the wasted stuff after removing the core meat of the animal.
Some vets have actually recommended this as a comparable alternative. Their cats conditions have improved, and they were able to save money on food as well as vet bills. Owners of blue buffalo cat food kitties who were frequently vomiting stated in their reviews that their cats are able to keep this cat food down. This product appears to be gentle on sensitive kitties’ tummies.
I worry that these large companies think more about the money than the cats… I used to feed my cats all the foods from Pet Food Express, supposed to be “higher quality foods”, then noticed that they were vomiting, had diarrhea with certain brands, and gained weight. Then my cats started to develop crystals and blood in their urine, which was a huge red flag for me, that these supposed “higher quality foods” were causing my cats to form crystals in their urine.
The most unpleasing property of this ingredient is that the animal source can contain any mammal, even dogs & cats. Some wet dog food products from the brand were recalled due to insufficient vitamin/ mineral levels. All these health benefits come at a slightly higher price compared to the average cat food. A lot of car parents find good value in the brand’s products because their cats not only love them, but have grown quite healthy and are just thriving on their food. This dry cat food has been recommended by vets to many cat owners. According to reviews, quite a number of customers discovered this product through their vet’s recommendation.
Caramel color is a concentrated form of caramel, a natural food colorant. Caramel color has been linked to cancer in laboratory animals. Since our pets do not care about food color, caramel color is an unnecessary addition with possible health risks. Soybean hulls are a by-product of soybean oil and meal processing.
