Dave'S Pet Food Naturally Healthy Grain-Free Chicken Formula Canned Cat Food, 12.5-Oz, Case Of 12

I did some research into different kinds of cat foods because I wanted to switch from my cheap, meat byproduct wet food to something more wholesome. I stayed with Dave's Pet Food. Among other good choices, it was more affordable and it comes in larger can sizes than the other brands. That was important because I am feeding 2+ cats. I liked the fact that this brand has no recalls for cat food and only one food recall (beef) for dog food. I also prefer a product from a family-owned and family-run business rather than a big corporate manufacturer. About the food: The first 5 ingredients of the Chicken dinner are real meat (and broth) and no grains. The meat is pâté-style; it looks appetizing and smells indeed like poultry. No strong or offensive odor like the cheap stuff. After 7 weeks I can see the difference. The coats of both cats are soft and shiny and they appear more muscular and fit, despite being indoor cats. Even their poop is better and no longer has the overwhelming odor. Most of all, both cats love the taste and lick every single morsel out of their bowls. I might try the other meats beside turkey, just to give the felines some variety. I can highly recommend this cat food

My cat loves this food so much. His poops use to smell terrible while eating other cat foods but not this one 🙏

I really like this food because it has quality ingredients, always got a great price and it’s one of the few flavors my picky eater enjoys! However, the cans almost always arrive dented, even when I order from Chewy. I reached out to customer service and they did issue a refund, which I appreciated, but it’s something to be aware of when purchasing. I’m not sure if the formula changed, but one batch last year did upset my cats’ stomachs. They’ve been fine since, though. I just really wish the denting issue would get resolved!!

I decided to buy this food as it was more cost-effective compared to the premium brands. It contained well-regarded ingredients without any fillers. I initially mixed a small amount with their usual wet food, and that seemed to work well. After a few days, I began incorporating more of the Daves food. I hadn't even finished a whole can, and I have three cats! By the time I was only offering Daves, they stopped eating the wet food and relied solely on their dry food. I also foster a feral mother cat and her kittens, and even she refuses to eat it! I don't speak cat, so I'm unsure what the issue is. You would think at least one out of four would enjoy it. I'm going back to Tiki Cat.

We have an adult male Ragdoll that has had problems since a baby with throwing up his food. Vet visits, trying slow-down bowls, Pepsid, etc. Nothing worked for long. Vet thinks allergy to grains so we tried different grain free foods; we had some success but nothing that stopped the vomiting for very long. I tripped over Dave’s while searching for a new grain-free food. I was a bit thrown off by a review that showed a ‘moldy can’ that had fermented but since most reviews seemed favorable on Amazon-I gave it a shot. We are more than pleased. Dewey the nine year-old Ragdoll now throws up about once a week! The 12 oz. cans of Chicken are CARAGEENAN free (check the can size and flavor as all ARE NOT carageenan free). My goal was to reduce the vomiting episodes but wasn’t willing to use any food that had carageenan as a thickener so this is a double-bonus for me. We only feed the chicken pate but he doesn’t tire of the same flavor; this is another bonus as before he’d get tired of one kind and I’d have to change it, often returning to the vomiting episodes all over again. We love the 12 oz. cans as they are more cost effective than smaller cans for Dew. We’ve been feeding this for almost a year now and can’t believe the difference. I hope this review (and by trying Dave’s food) helps you if your cat throws up a lot as ours did. It’s a DRAG to have to clean up cat puke off the carpet daily and never find a good solution to the problem. It’s helped my Dew immensely and we are really grateful to have found something that he not only likes but is something I can afford to feed him. It’s not the BEST grain-free cat food in the world I’m sure-but I can’t afford a $50-$60 case of cat food either-especially when you consider that he eats wet cat food only. I’ve never been able to feed him dry food as that only makes things worse. It’s the best quality cat food I have found that keeps him happy and healthy and not vomiting. I don’t usually write reviews but in the spirit of helping others with the same MADDENING issue as we had I thought I’d give it a go….
