Review: Reliable - I purchased first time from this branch but by mistake I was sent from the same branch something else. However; I would like to write a review all the same for the bag received which is the one at 85%. One start because my cat likes it. Three stars for the careful fresh ingredients selection and balance combination. One star for the clever bag with inside protected aluminium to keep the biscuits fresh preserving all its properties. Very easy to open it and close. The only think I object is that is overpriced and extremely expensive and therefore not easily affordable for low incomes. Looking forward for quality food for cats competitors joining desertcart at a more affordable prices. What it makes this branch valuable is that produces proper food for cats free from toxins and other ingredients that eventually make sick our cats. Every time I go to the PDSA Hospital is packed with lots of sick pets due to the inadecuate food sell for pets. It was a shame though I didn't receive the bag with 90% because according to composition fresh ingredients they include some organic ingredients. Anyway, thank you all the same....
Review: Healthy ingredients - After many years of trial and error this is the best dry food available for cats…

My cat loooves this cat food.  Snarfs it so fast, i have to put this cat food into "cat food" puzzles to slow the cat down.
Some wet foods make cat poop stink though.
Some cat treats for hairballs make mycat have gas.  My cat's  poop smells like cat poop.   It is not bad on this cat food.  It is quickly covered up in the litter box by the cat with good quality "instant action" cat litter, no problem.  I clean the litter box at least once a day and put it all into a Dekor PLus diaper pail
