My cat absolutely loves this food! After being recommended this food by her vet for her dental health, i started giving it to her twice a day. With other dry biscuits she will only eat it with wet food mixed in but these biscuits she will eat without! I will definitely continue to repurchase in the future and am looking forward to the assessment from the vet at her next check up.
I don’t think my cat is a huge fan of the taste of these, BUT they were recommended by our vet as the second best thing to do for his teeth after brushing them (which there’s no way our Lopez is going to let us).. He struggle to gobble them up like he would with other foods, which makes him eat less and helps with getting rid of tartar. I’ll continue buying these and use my cats old vet brand as “treats”.
My cat loved this food. He can be kinda picky with food but has always preferred dry food over wet and he loved this. I did a slow transition and he had no tummy upsets. Not sure if it significantly improved his dental health but I definitely think it helped
I have 2 cats. 1 cat enjoyed it however my second cat stopped eating the kibble after a little while so I had to switch him back. I'm not sure it's as filling as the previous food they used. As they seemed to be hungry more often as well.
I love that the bag is a decent size so the product lasts quite a while. My cat loves these biscuits and they help keep her teeth clean too. Good price for the size and a premium product. Definitely would buy again.
