## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite brand
*by K***E on September 9, 2025*

I have two cats that are very picky with the type of food that they eat. This is one brand that they consistently like to eat. I like that it’s very nutritious and I like the fact that it’s organic. I think it’s well worth the price. I do see a difference in the quality of their fur. I think it’s smells good for cat food, and I think it’s well worth the price for the size that you get. I don’t mind paying more money for good quality, organic cat food for my cats because they are the love of my life. And they are worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good food for cat
*by K***N on June 29, 2025*

I love this product. My cat likes this product. The smell of it is nothing pungent, it’s really not that bad. The ease of use because I luckily got the bag that has a resealable port before they did the switch is very good. I unfortunately ordered it way too late because they switched the design of the bag and now I wish I can find more of the resealable. I cannot attest to the coat shine as her coat has always looked good. The value of money is great for this as I told my Vet this is what I’m feeding my cat and I got a look of approval. I have no clue how it tastes since I do not eat it, but it does not upset her stomach. The longevity of it in the resealable bag design is perfect, I can provide no input for the new design that is not resealable and I do not like it. I still wish they had the old design as I just found this for my cat but I’m happy I at least got the one bag. So now when I get a new bag, I just pour it in the resealable one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for us, but note it contains chicken
*by B***R on February 9, 2023*

We switched to this food recently, after 10+ years on another brand that became harder and harder to find in stock. The other food used only fish for protein, which we needed because we had a cat who was allergic to meats like chicken and beef. That cat passed away a few years ago, but we kept feeding the salmon-based food because we figured why mess with a good thing?Picking a new food was tough, but this seemed to have a solid combo of good reviews, trusted name, and good quality without a $$$ price tag. I stuck with salmon because that was the base of their old food and I figured they were used to the flavor.Our 3 cats, who range in age from 1 year to 17 years old, all seem to like the new food. We’re on our second bag, and no troubles with the switch. As a bonus, the young cat’s fur has grown extra shiny and soft and the middle aged cat seems to have become more active. Both were an unexpected bonus, considering that this is cheaper than the old brand!My only warning is that chicken meal is the #2 ingredient in this food. The bag says “salmon” and boasts that “salmon is the #1 ingredient,” and you need to check the actual ingredients to notice the chicken. They’re not wrong that salmon IS the biggest ingredient, but #2 is still enough chicken that allergic cats would probably have a bad reaction. Just wanted highlight the issue for anyone in that situation. (And if you have a cat who throws up more often than s/he should, it’s worth trying to switch their food to something without chicken or beef. Our vet said the meat allergies are more common than you’d think, and switching foods took care of most of the problem for us.)
