20 Best Low Carb Dry Cat Food (2023 Updated)

Dry food is never the BEST option for your cat (thus the 4 stars, not 5), but there are some dry food addicts out there that have to have it in their life. I have one of them and she has no teeth. She still has her fave “acceptable by mom” dry food over this one, but Dr Elsey’s is actually the best nutritionally-sound kibble for those that, “gotta have it”.

The pieces are also small for cats-many pet food companies seems to think they have jaws like that of a dog’s. So those who have had full dental extractions can easily and happily handle this food. About the price? Remember-it’s nutritionally dense which means you do not feed as much as you would those brands with the corn and wheat fillers.

In the long run and including future vet bills, it ends up being much cheaper. I do not leave an all-day crunch buffett out for my cats (because dry isn’t the best option) and they’re supplemented with a rehydrated freeze-dried food found here on Chewy.

Putting a cup out for munching works just fine. Moderation is key. This dry food is the highest in protein and lowest in carbs and with no starchy fillers and unnecessary fruits and vegetables, it’s the best option for those diagnosed with diabetes, pancreatitis and IBD-IF they HAVE to have the dry.

If you’re still with me-thanks for reading.

I’ve been feeding this food for a long time and recently it has become very inconsistent in size, color and texture The kibble in a lot of the bags is very dry and crumbly and there is a lot of waste.

The company claims nothing has changed, that the extrusion process can cause these variations, yet this food is now causing constipation in all of my cats. I tried bringing this to the manufacturer’s attention but they tried telling me there is nothing wrong with their food.

Even my cats can tell the difference. I’ve had some good and bad bags, and when I’ve set out bowls of each, side by side they did not eat the food that was lighter in color and crumbly. I have 2 diabetic cats that require low carb food, so I hope the manufacturer takes this more seriously.

I know of a lot of other people that feed this food and have been making complaints about it as well.

This cat food is wonderful! I found it after I read a recommendation for it on a cat lovers’s website that listed the 10 best foods for cats. Parker loved it instantly and no transitioning was needed.

Since it’s so high in protein and very low in carbs she doesn’t come back to her dish crying several times a day like she used to wanting extra food. I also love that the food is small. It is smaller than some treats I’ve fed her, lol.

The only thing I hate is that lately it’s very hard to find. I would’ve ordered more but since it’s so expensive, I wanted to wait to make sure she liked it and she absolutely does! I’ve wasted so much money on “good food” that she refused to touch.

Yes, it is costly. but I would rather budget around this than feed Parker a food that is actually harming her. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Chewy has this in stock when I order again.

The reason for 2 stars: she did eat it without a problem regarding taste. I wasted way too much time and faith on this company. Cassie’s wellness visits one and two years (last week) after starting BB weight control formulas showed NO CHANGE.

I, however, AM changing brands. I’m tired of getting the look from the vet that implies I should stop lying about what I’m feeding her. I’ve been following the feeding charts on the bags. I’ve watched her scratch her bowl looking for more food.

I know I’m not a bad owner, but I feel like I’m putting her back in the shelter scurrying to get food before all the bowls are empty. No more. I’ll gladly pay more to gamble on a successful outcome; I’ve failed for two years with this.

I honestly think cat products are just an “oh yeah” second thought BB added in with their dogfood line.

So I have never written a review before but I would want to know so I’m going to share what happened with my kitty. I have given the product three stars because he lost over a lb in about a month. It absolutely worked.

However, about a month into it he started having accidents and was acting a little funny. He’s never been sick before, other than an eye infection when I adopted him, and when he started acting lethargic I took him to a vet and he had a uti.

I had the vet treat the uti and took him home. Within the next couple days he was acting normal again. However, it didn’t last long and two weeks later he was acting like he was before again. So I bought the homeopet uti threw out the weight control food and switch back to regular blue Buffalo.

Within hours he was acting better and within a week he was back to normal. So while this food works, it may cause utis in your cats so be careful.

First I agree that compared to many other brands, wellness is not that tasty. Here is the way I feed my 5 month 6. 7lb kitten: I give him 1/2 cup of wellness kibbles every morning. When I come home from work, I mix the remaining with 1/8 cup Instinct kitten kibbles which is more tasty but with more fat.

Before I go to sleep, I mix the remaining kibbles with 1/2 3 oz wellness canned food. He loves canned food the most and will finish all of them. Why do I insist wellness even when my kitten is not that into it? Because ingredients come first to me.

I like the ingredients of wellness and price is reasonable. My kitten was with less muscle compared to other kittens at the same age when I adopted him. I changed his kibbles from a cheaper brand to Wellness complete health and now wellness core.

His weight increases around 2 lb/month. He is now full of energy and his fur is shiny and soft. I believe wellness contributes a lot. I plan to rotate the food like 3 times per year. Wellness would definitely on my list.

I’m from The Netherlands and the packaging looks a bit different here but it’s the same product. One of my cats has severe IBS/allergy, she was hurting from it and refused to eat, this has been going on for almost a year.

I have tried just about everything, other foods with mos and fos, I’ve tried rawfood/barfing, nothing helped. Initially I had bought the Core food for my other healthy cat but she was drawn to it as well and I thought lets give it a try.

Already after two days I could see her stool improving. The Core catfood seems to have just the right amount in combination with the other high quality ingredients. My cats tummy is no longer bloated/aching, she is no longer burping, her stomach seems to have settled.

Fingers crossed it’s for the long haul. And please do not change the ingredients, ever.

I have never seen my cat eat his food as fast as he ate this Wellness Core dry food. I felt bad when the bag was gone, I could tell he really likes it, it also seemed to fill him up. We only give him a certain amount of food during the day as he is a hefty boy and would eat till he gets sick.

But with this food it seemed to fill him up. With the ingredient list having meats as the first ingredients, without all the by products and fillers I truly feel he was satisfied. The canned wet food was the same way, we don’t feed him canned food often as then he won’t eat the dry, but we may start doing it once a week for him.

We looked for this cat food and did find it at petsmart. It is a little pricey for cat food, but this small bag lasted about the same time as a larger bag of cheaper P brand cat food. But with the ingredients being as good as they are he really ate less of it.

We will continue to feed him this food, he is a senior cat (15) and deserves to be fed good healthy food. For him we can do this, if I had multiple cats, I think it would be out of my budget.

My fur baby didn’t like this food so much for some reason. I’m not sure if he is being stubborn because of being fed Fancy Feast wet food every time we fed our other senior fur baby, a Miniature Pinscher, Caesar’s wet food because he couldn’t chew and had to mix his medicine in it (couldn’t feed him wet food and not the other since jealousy was a problem).

I’m also not sure if part of the problem might be due to mourning the loss of our Minature Pinscher at the beginning of this month. He’s just not eating the food like he would normally eat a new food, since he stopped eating his other food and this was the new switch.

It could be a number of things. He does eat it, but he doesn’t chew it and throws it up whole sometimes – this is with dry food in general. Next step is getting a special bowl that prevents gorging it, and we only put enough to cover the bottom of the bowl occasionally throughout the day.

He’s just stubborn with food! We purchased the 10 lb. bag of this food because normally he takes to food changes well, just not this time. A trip to the vet is in store later this week to see if there are any other problems we need to be aware of.

He did eat this food good for the first couple of days. So, I can’t give the food a totally negative review due to the surrounding factors. We are searching for a new food now to hopefully satisfy him!.

Crave is one of the few grain-free brands of cat kibble that my cat likes and the least expensive. or was. It’s getting super hard to find it in stores. This time I had to pay $6 more for a 4 lb. bag.

He does NOT like Rachel Rae’s or any of the other high-end grain-free cat kibbles, probably because they contain rice (also a grain), peas, cranberries, garbanzo beans, sweet potato and all sorts of stuff that cats don’t like.

They’re carnivores through and through. Dogs will eat most anything. I’m hoping that Walmart will continue to offer Crave Dry Cat Food, but at reasonable prices. In-store would be ideal.

I have 3 big cats and a tight budget, so though I would love to feed them the pricy premium foods, we have to compromise. They’d have this bag gone in a couple days, so I bought this in place of the cat treats I used for “enrichment”.

tossing individual bits across the floor so they can get some exercise chasing after “moving prey”. It’s fun to watch their different approaches and is as amusing for me as for them! One likes to sit at a distance and nab it with his paw as it slides by, one likes to “hunt” it after it’s tossed into the next room, and of course there’s that fat cat who wants it fed directly to him, and only reluctantly will take those few steps to retrieve it! lol.

Anyway, they definitely like this as well or better than the pricier treats, so recommended!.

I have two kitties, one a very picky eater and the other a garbage disposal. I ordered this for the first time recently and they both LOVE this food. I did want to note though, I placed an order for the 5.

6lb bag and received a bag labeled 3. 9lbs. I called customer service to determine the discrepancy because this food is much pricier than what I’ve purchased for them in the past. Customer service was fantastic and sent me a new “5.

6lb” bag for the inconvenience. I once again received a 3. 9lb bag so I’m assuming there’s a disconnect between the offices and the shipping department. Buyer beware if you purchase the “5. 9lb” bag for $30, you’re only getting 3.

9lbs. Because my cats love the food so much, I intend to purchase in the future. I hope this mix up is solved before I need to purchase another bag.

I bought Tiki Cat dry food because it was suggested by my veterinarian to help my cat with his insulin-resistant diabetes. I was happy to see that I could purchase a smaller bag to try in case my cat didn’t like this brand.

I am pleased to say that he absolutely loves and devours this food. It is high protein/low carb which is essential for a diabetic cat. This food along with Fancy Feast classic pate’ seems to be helping with excessive water drinking and urination.

We have another vet visit soon, so I am interested to see how much his glucose numbers have lowered. I think your cat will love this food even if he/she isn’t diabetic.

This food was my lifesaver. I adopted two young cats from a shelter. When I got them they were emancipated, had gray whiskers, and had never seen anything other than cheap dry food in their life. I initially fed them the standard Hills science diet and, while they loved it, they both started to throw up frequently and couldn’t stomach it.

I tried going closer to what they know and buying Purina sensitive chow, which they could stomach much better, but I knew it wasn’t as good for them and their bowel movements became very frequent and very pungent.

I decided to go back to Hills, but try their sensitive variety, and boy was it amazing! I started out with just moving a small amount into their existing food and practically overnight all of their digestive issues were gone (and have never come back)! This food works great with their needs at a good price and they love it just as much as the original Hills.

I actually have to coerce them into eating their wet food because they like this stuff a little too much. If your cat has a sensitive stomach, I definitely recommend trying out Hills sensitive.

I used to buy science diet for my cats all the time. My mother convinced me to get blue buffalo. I’ve been using blue Buffalo for about a year now and have noticed my cats still have stomach problems.

This includes gas (yes, believe me cats get gas), more throwing up, and more, to put it the way my son does, Poopoo problems. This was using the sensitive stomach by blue buffalo. I decided to go back to science diet.

It has been two weeks now and I’ve noticed a huge difference. Not only have the above problems lessened, the cat seem happier. They are jumping around and playing a lot more than they have for a while.

I am now staying with science diet and strongly suggest everyone give it a try. The best one for all four of my cats is the sensitive stomach one. Whatever formula they use my cats eat it up and they seem to be feeling better.

I hope your cats enjoy it too.

Animal companionship is a lifelong financial and emotional commitment. It’s your responsibility to ensure the animal thrives. My three year old Maine Coon cat, Chewie, was diagnosed with ibd after countless blood tests, ultrasounds, poo panels, biopsies, etc.

After much trial and error with wet and dry food, Chewie likes a 3-part dry food mix of Hills Science Diet Sensitive Skin and Tummy, Hills Urinary, and a high protein Hills Kidney Prescription. Chewie enjoys 3 cans of Fancy Feast Chicken Pate every day.

He consumes 1/2 teaspoon of Tylan Powder with his wet food in the morning and snacks on a probiotic supplement at night. Chewie also receives a quarter cup of plain, boiled chicken every day. When Chewie has a flare up, he receives a 1 MG shot of prednisolone, two times a day until his poo hardens and symptoms improve – that’s usually within 24-48 hours.

Chewie is the sweetest kitty and such a cuddlebug. We will do whatever we need to do to ensure he is healthy and feels good. The Hills Sensitive Stomach food is a major part of his diet that has worked for nearly two years.

My cats love this food. I have a Siberian and for years I struggled with hairballs and her stomach being sensitive to artificial food dyes. Someone recommended I try grain-free options to see if that helped and it really has.

I did a lot of research on high-quality grain-free options because I’ve also read lots of horror stories about low-quality grain free and I also talked to my vet about what to look for. Crave is the best I’ve found.

It’s AAFCO approved, has taurine (which my vet said to look for) and I love that it’s high protein along with dye-free. I think the combination of grain-free, dye-free, and high protein is what really kicked the hairballs and random vomit because my cat has better digestion now.

Both my cats also really like all of Crave’s flavors and they have high quality wet food that I use as a treat every once in a while as well. Overall 10/10 recommend. Have been feeding my cats Crave for about 5 years and would never switch!.

We switched from Blue Buffalo to this based on price. Our cat is very special to us and we were encouraged to continue to go grain free by our Vet. We followed the mixing guide and our cat easily transitioned to Crave.

She absolutely loves it but will over eat. We had typically given her a 1/2 cup in the morning and let her eat on It for the day, but with Crave she would sit and eat the entire serving right away then get sick from over eating.

Now that we space out her feedings we aren’t having problems. Her urine and feces is not smelly at all and she is a very happy cat.

My two kittens were positive for FIP disease and were not doing well. I had always fed them Iams but in searching for something to hopefully help them, I found Blue Buffalo sensitive stomach dry cat food and began feeding it in an effort to help the severe diarrhea that they always have because of their disease.

They were not crazy about a new different food at first but slowly began eating it and to my amazement, their diarrhea got better and better till they were having actual stools and not diarrhea! That was 2 months ago and they are still eating BB and we will never change! In addition to this, they don’t have near as many bowel movements and surprisingly, the odor when they have a bowel movement is not near as offensive smelling! I’m assuming that the absence of artificial additives and other harmful ingredients is what is responsible for it all.

I was so excited and impressed with the numerous visible positive results that I told my daughter who has cats about BB. Her cats do not have FIP disease but I knew she would see good changes. She began feeding it and has seen positive results and now exclusively feeds BB as well.

The one and only negative thing I can say is the price is awfully high however, it is so well worth it and upon contacting BB I was able to receive coupons and hope to continue to get them periodically.

BB also has a rewards program called “Buddies” that I joined. You gain points from codes that are in the bags of good. The first 3 bags I bought had no codes in them so I reached out to BB and got a prompt reply and they manually added the points to my account! Great customer service!.

I have a picky eater! Probably the only cat on the planet who will not touch anything that has fish in it at all, so that really makes finding a good cat food that she will eat tough. She has hairball and digestive issues.

After extensive research I found very few foods that came as highly recommended as this one, so glad we tried it! Sansa (the cat) LOvES it! Before her food would sit all day until she eventually decided to eat a few bites here and there, now she runs to the bowl to be fed! It is definitely helping her belly also! Her litter box trips don’t smell as awful and her hairball issue has dropped from about 3-4 times a week, to 1 time in 3 weeks! My only complaint is the cost of the food! But luckily I only have one cat and a 15lb bag will last her a long time.

It is worth every penny to know she is eating healthy, quality food she loves! She is bouncier and more playful and her coat is silky and healthy! We will never use another brand of cat food again!.

1/28/2022 About 3 years ago my I noticed my elderly cat started vomiting often. I tried switching her to wet food but she didn’t take to it, shes only ever eaten hard food. I tried 3-4 different brands and types (elderly, sensitive, indoor).

I picked up a small bag of this at the grocery store and shes been eating it no problem. The actual kibbles are pretty small, I think that along with the formula made it a-lot easier on her tummy. I did notice her vomit once or twice, but I believe that was because she went a little piggy, and got sick once it started to rehydrate and expand after it was in her stomach.

I purchased an automatic feeder that dispenses a small amount of food a few times a day rather than free feeding her. Im happy to say that I was finally able to get her stomach issues settled, and she’s as content as ever.

I have 2 seniors and a kitten so I appreciate an all ages food (since they try to eat each other’s food anyway). I specifically got this because of the added lysine and it has really helped my seniors with their conjunctivitis.

They all love the food and it hasn’t caused any digestive issues so far. It seems like a quality blend of ingredients and my picky eaters are starting to beg for it now! It’s only been a few days but I’m really happy with the improvements I’ve seen so far.

Ever since purina changed their hairball formula I’ve been trying to find an affordable alternative and this food definitely exceeded my expectations. I’m still blending the food so I can transition them to 100% Dr Gary so hopefully I won’t need to buy additional food marketed for hairballs.

Was happy when the package arrived. Could not wait for the cats to try it. Soon as we opened the package, a very bad rotten fish smell came out. My cats are on a limit of how much “FISH” food poducts they can eat, and this was way more than they can have in even a month of feedings.

We will NOT be giving any of this to our pets. Why don’t any cat food procucts come without fish any more. They used to say what was in the item, before you make a purchase,. Now, most every cat food comes with either sea food or some sort of fish meal, etc.

My Senior cat can chew this kibble! And she likes it! Other kibbles are too hard for her to chew. But Best Breed’s cooking process makes the kibble easier to chew and there are few to no crumbs in the bag like other kibbles I’ve tried.

The kibble stays together but is easy to chew. I have 4 cats and they all enjoy Dr. Gary’s food. Have you ever taken one of your cat kibbles and tried to break it? I find some impossible to break even using pliers.

Now imagine your cat trying to chew it. Love the texture and size of the kibbles.

All cats really like it and they are usually picky and suspect with any “healthy” brand. Kibbles are classic X shaped not the “new” tiny balls that never seem to go over well. Was advised to take my hefty cat off all dry food by two Vets and only feed “wet”.

Made sense to me so I slowly removed this from his diet. Within a week or so he did start to lose weight (ate as much wet as he wanted) and had a lot more energy but something was off. He seemed extra anxious and twitchy and started to develop dandruff/greasy clumpy fur on his back near his tail.

He had always been extremely luxurious and soft getting BIG compliments from the Vets on how wonderful his fur was. Put him back on this food and within a couple of days there was an abrupt reversal in his demeanor and coat.

I’m still working on his weight but lessening the wet food instead. I’ve had many cats over a long period of time and have tried just about every food out there. This one really stands out.

I was looking for something different besides Blue Buffalo. One of my cats spits out those Blue Buffalo life bits, so he wasn’t getting all the nutritional benefits. I saw Dr. Gary’s BEST BREED and liked the healthy ingredients.

I gave a 5 lb. bag a try. I have two cats. My female cat eats it sloppily and leaves a lot of kibbles scattered around her dish. Not a surprise. She’s easy and sloppy. It’s my male cat that is soooo finicky, stubborn, and hard to please.

He reluctantly eats Best Breed in the morning as long as I eat my bowl of raw oats next to him on the counter. Yes, one of those kinds of cats. He’ll lean in to look at my bowl of raw oats and sliced fruit and decide his is better.

He eats about half the scoop I give him. After his afternoon nap, I try to coax him to finish his leftovers. He’ll nibble down a few kibbles reluctantly. He’ll come sit next to me on the sofa and then jump up and run to the kitchen if I get up.

I know what he wants. He would rather starve than bite into another kibble of dry food, so I put his leftover kibbles into his sister’s dish. I go to the pantry and grab a can of Fancy Feast Medley, and he perks up.

I am suddenly his best buddy. He devours it and licks his dish clean as if he hadn’t eaten all day. I give him another can, and he devours that until he is satiated. He finishes the rest off later. Dr.

Gary’s BEST BREED has good, HEALTHY ingredients at a reasonable price. My one cat eats it. My other cat doesn’t spit it out. He just won’t eat enough to stay healthy.

My cat has been prescribed this food for a couple of years since he was diagnosed with diabetes. He has been exclusively eating this type of dry food and he is not tired of it yet, so he must really likes it.

It helps him control his appetite and it seems to keep him full longer compared to regular store bought food. Even my non-diabetic, very picky eater cat likes this food. Additionally, shipping was fast and safely packaged! I usually order it from my vet, but for some reasons, they were out, and the pet store nearby my house did not have it either.

We were practically out, so I tried ordering from Chewy. It came the next day after I ordered, which was a great relief! I did not want to give my cat regular food in fear of changing the routine and perhaps changing his mind or food preference had he been given the taste of regular food he used to have, so I was glad that it came right away.

Thank you, Chewy! I have since set up auto delivery on my profile so we are never going to run out of food!.

My cat is pre diabetic and the vet recommended Purina DM. He seemed to do well the first few months and loved the taste. We started to notice foul smelling stool, and softer stool, so I began mixing with another high protein food called Crave.

Seemed a little better, but then a few months later he started vomiting and diarrhea. Unfortunately, this formula did not seem to sit will with his tummy, so I am just starting a new formula.

This is about 7. 5% carbs per serving which is a little higher than my vet would like (she prefers 3%) but there’s really not many other DM brands that aren’t garbage and my cat was already on purina one sensitive and as a picky oramge the prince gets what he wants.

My cat had zero problems transitioning to this food, no GI upset and he just about tore into the bag to get to it. A year on and his sugars are normal (120-150 consistently) and his diet is supplemented with organic meat at shot time.

Highly recommend this food.

I’m really torn about this review! I love Blue Wilderness products, and I definitely would not be opposed to trying this out again on my cat. She’s a ~1. 5 years old, spayed, indoor domestic shorthair (calico).

I think Blue Wilderness products are amazing quality! However, I did notice significant weight gain in my cat when I started using this food (even though I was portioning it out according to the bag what I read online).

At first I wasn’t sure, but then I saw some other reviews online that they experienced the same thing with their cats. I switched over to Purina Pro Plus the problem went away.

I love how happy my picky eaters are with this food! They don’t seem to need as much less waste later. One has a sensitive stomach a skin condition that little has worked on he has less problems with Blue Wilderness.

I was put off at the prices so it took a while to try this but it’s worth every bit seeing how much healthier happier he is. And they both eat all of it instead of just the gravy, so we’ve been wasting less.

And rarely if any yak attacks anymore! Worth it!.

I had high hopes for this because the ingredient list is so good but unfortunately my cats just werent interested. They’re normally little kibble goblins that will stop at nothing for breakfast and dinner but they were very blasé about this and grazed instead.

I also noticed their poopies were WAYYY stinkier than usual. Sometimes my babies dont cover their poop and with this food I could smell it everywhere in my 800 sqft apartment. It was awful to say the least haha.

I switched them to N&D fish kibble and I have my little goblins back. Its been a couple days and every meal they are meowing and running to their bowls so excited! I’ve been giving them kibble in place of their treats (as I ran out of their greenies) and they dont mind one bit they are so excited to eat it!!.

I started using the Cat/Kitten formula about two years ago. I had found a stray female kitten that was in bad shape. She had the worst upper respiratory infection I had ever seen, plus, as it turned out, she was feline leukemia positive.

She didn’t eat much in the beginning (could be due to her fever from the leukemia and infection) but she was active and had a beautiful coat. About a year later I took in a stray mom and her last two babies (my leukemia kitty was now free from the disease.

Mother Nature took care of it on her own, thankfully). They, too, were put on the Cat/Kitten formula. One of the kittens was a true runt. She was in bad shape. Her sister was much larger and doing better.

Being on this food, the new cats to the family grew well. The runt is still extremely small, but she flourished while on this food. Then about 6 months later I had a mom cat bring her 4 newborns to me.

We took them in and raised them. When they were old enough to eat cat food, the new kittens were also put on the Cat/Kitten formula. They grew like weeds. Once the newest kittens reached one year old, some things started happening.

Everyone was still eating the Cat/Kitten formula. But I started seeing my “runt” baby, Charlie, loose weight while she was still eating her Orijen! At first I thought it was just me seeing things. But as the month went on, she drastically lost weight and become totally disinterested in her food.

Shortly after I was considering that it had to be the food (being all strays, everyone had been tested for leukemia before being put with the healthy cats. Tests were negative) one of my newer kittens all of a sudden one day refused to eat her Orijen.

She went like this for 3 days. Then one by one, others started to either refuse their food or barely touch it. I had also noticed that I had been giving outside stray cats some of the Six Fish flavor.

I was putting only one scoop mixed with 7 other scoops of a new food I was feeding them. Before I added the Six Fish the cats were beautiful; gaining weight and pretty fur. But after a couple of months of having only one scoop of Six Fish added to the 7 scoops of other food, I started seeing reactions in some of the outside cats; loss of fur, skin wounds from the cat scratching so hard, and loss of weight.

Once I completely removed the Six Fish the cats wounds healed, they started to put weight back on, and their fur came back. If this had only happened to one or two cats, I would have still considered this to be a well quality food.

But issues arose on at least a dozen cats (out of about 20 cats total). I have had cats for 44 years. They have all lived to be 16 to 20 years old. And I never once had a problem with the food I was feeding them (another brand that I won’t mention.

However, my Charlie still refuses to touch dry food these days and I have her on the old brand of wet I used for all my other cats over the years). There was also a time when I opened a new bag of Orijen and the food smelled different and had a different color, too.

Some of my indoor kitties ate it with no qualms. But some smelled and looked at it suspiciously and ate it very slowly. The food should be consistent in smell and color.

I have 6 cats ranging 3mo to 7 yrs in age. I feed wet food everyday but keep dry in self feeders so they can snack between meals. The kittens will eat anything they can get to but the others are food snobs.

I have had some serious issues with grain based kibble causing vomiting in the past but finding a better quality brand they would all eat is near impossible. Some will eat this, some will eat that and 1 would not eat anything but Iams dry if her life depended on it.

such fun for the hooman! I have discovered if I mix several brands they will all usually gladly eat whatever is in the mix. I still have to keep the Iams out for my picky girl but the others prefer the blend in the feeder.

Since I started doing this there is no vomiting or other stomach issues and their overall condition is better. When I get a new bag of food, I give it a test run in a separate bowl to see how they like it or if it causes any issues before I mix it into the feeder.

Half of my cats loved the Six Fish which I consider a winner. I usually buy the Cat & Kitten variety but the cats seem to like this flavor better.

Our two cats love this and have now eaten mostly this for 2+ years. One cat still enjoys a small daily side bowl of canned food, but the other cat pretty much prefers his Blue Buffalo crunchy food. We tried other flavors — including the more exotic duck and some other flavor — but they like chicken best.

Yet, they won’t touch cooked chicken from a human meal. Hmm, go figure. We like the ingredients and what’s NOT in the food. Grain free! No animal “byproducts. ” We use the “indoor” version, because our cats are indoor critters.

However, they similarly enjoyed the non-indoor version when that’s all we could find in a store. They have no apparent digestion problems with Blue Buffalo, in contrast to other (grain containing) dry foods we’ve tried.

We recently switched to Petco online, from another unnamed online vendor. The prices for dry cat food (eg, this Blue Buffalo product) are comparable or better, and the minimum purchase amount for free shipping is much more favorable.

And in contrast to our former online vendor, Petco is a more full-service provider, with local stores.

I started my cat on Blue Wilderness when she was a kitten, then later I briefly switched her to the “best rated” dry food on the market (which btw has almost 60% protein and more than Blue). I thought that as my cat got older, she would be less playful so I didn’t think anything of it when she wasn’t playing as much anymore (she was on the new food for a few months).

I also didn’t think too much when her coat lost some of its shine and she was shedding a TON. She ran out of food one week, and I needed to pick up something quick that was in-store because her “best rated” cat food has to be ordered online.

So, I picked up Blue again. She started being playful again that very same day! Also, her coat gradually regained its shine again with very minimal shedding. I truly believe that this bag of Blue is a quality food.

I had used Chewy before when my beloved Ms. Abby Norml was alive and then waited to get other cats. Now, our two litter mates, Coal and Sista Fluffy Buns (aka Sissy) are happily enjoying Chewy’s reliable service.

When the box came with the big bag they were following me to their food storage part and sooo happy. Then, of course, they had to make sure the box was emptyh (that was their excuse anyway). I love Chewy because they always have what I need delivered on time so we never have to worry about them.

Thank You Chewy! And thank you to the wonderful caring staff that I talk to when I call. They truly care about our pets.

My cat is sensitive to grains. Whenever he eats dry food with that ingredient, he developes sore spots on his ears, nose, and toe beans (pads of his feet). He also prefers dry food over wet. Purina grain free helps with his skin issues and my other cats eat it too so they are all happy with it.

Sometimes, it’s hard to find and the price has gone up a lot. It comes in three sizes. You need to pay close attention to the pricing because the smaller sizes are often priced higher than the larger ones.

Even with the price going up, it’s still one of the more affordable grain free foods out there and all of mine will eat it so it works for me. If your cat has grain sensitivity, it would be worth a try.

I live out in the country and many people just leave cats and kittens. I wanted a good food for my cats and new adoptees. This is the one. They meow for this flavor. I keep thinking if they could talk- “hey this one bowl is empty get us Purina – Cat Chow Naturals with added vitamins, minerals and nutrients Grain Free Cat Food.

” I bought other flavors and other brands, but this is the one. The bowl is always empty. Grat nutritional value and great value for the money.

Today my Sass had a first offering of Hills 11+ Indoor Dry kibble. I will update this review after she’s been through a 3. 5 bag. The kibble is a 3-corner star shape and is close to the same size as Adult Indoor 7+.

Sassy is a 10 + year old Bengal cat. She’s had consistent Hills nutrition and healthcare. Sassy has never required a teeth cleaning, though we are going in December to have a little tarter buildup. A testimate to Hills! She will not touch anything by Her Hills kibble, so she stays nimble and active.

She is alert, she plays hide n seek, explores on a leash a few minutes a day. I plan on getting her some outdoor play equipment.

So, I have a 10-year-old cat that has been on Science Diet since she was a kitten and by keeping her on the same dry food all her life she has not had any digestive issues, so far. I had her on Adult indoor 1-6 up until about 6 months ago because it was recommended to me that if she is doing well that she could stick with it.

However, I decided to buy the adult 7+ and she did okay with it at first, but then stopped eating it so I put her back on the other adult or one of them (there are a couple) and she started to eat again but soon after I noticed she was not chewing the kibble.

Now, I must clarify that she is a small cat with a tiny mouth (she was the runt of her litter) so the smaller kibble was apparently easier for her to swallow/chew. I was concerned that her teeth were not getting clean with the smaller kibble, so regretfully, I re-ordered a 7-pound bag of this kind of SD again.

Now I am stuck with it and she will not eat it and begs all day long for wet food and treats anything but this food. She will attempt a bite or two, but it falls out of her mouth or she drops it and gives up.

My mom pointed out that it might be too hard for her to chew or even hurt her teeth. I was upset with myself for not picking up on this, so i read all the lower-rated reviews on here and I realized it was an issue for other cats too.

I really don’t understand why this cat food is so hard, even i had trouble to break up a piece with a sharp knife. Maybe it’s a bad batch or it’s meant to be this way, but i will not be buying this again.

Back to the original until i can find one that is good for her age. Hope i helped someone.

The Perfect Weight Kibble size has been inconsistent this last year. My cat preferred the large flat disc size kibble that was always consistent; the reason I bought Perfect Weight. Now the last several bags changed to “Thick” kibble of multiple sizes the cat could hardly bite.

Perfect Weight used to have a consistent larger disk-like kibble that was more flat and could be crunched. Now, each bag purchased contains multiple thicknesses, sizes. Perfect Weight is a great recipe.

but kibble inconsistency is a problem for long time customers of your product. Newer customers do not see a difference, “yet. “. until additional bags of the same variety are purchased again and opened to find kibble sizes different from the previous bag.

Quality products should remain consistent. Kibble consistency is important to a cat. Too much competitive marketing changing cat and dog food formula varieties too often. sounds great, not for cats who need basic diets.

Frustrating to see this ongoing irregularity as my cat no longer enjoys eating this product. This was a good product. will try another bag when I see the manufacturing dates change. hopefully, the original kibble size of over a year ago will return to Perfect Weight.

Perfect Weight Manufacturing runs need better Quality Control. Too much variation this last year in Perfect Weight Kibble size and density.

I normally do not do this, but I am going to write this review. This food has really changed my cats’ lives for the better. I have (2) cats that are 13 years old and approaching 14. They used to regurgitate their old cat food (which is a very expensive well known brand that is supposed to cater to sensitive stomachs and senior cats) and I would have around 7-8 piles to clean up a week and this has been an issue for years.

I used to think that this was part of my cats getting older. I can tell you I been using this for 2-3 weeks now and I have not cleaned up a single pile. This food is very small and easy for them to digest.

My cats are very active and their coats are very shiny and soft now. After having my cats for as many years that I have, I can tell that they are a lot happier and I can tell a change in litter box. Even the stool is fuller and not super dry and hard which I am assuming is helping the cat go to the bathroom.

I will for sure continue to purchase this food until there is not a need to purchase cat food anymore.

I received this product free from Influenster for my honest review. My cats instantly were all over the bag when I opened it. We have 2 senior cats and my oldest boy couldn’t wait for me to put it in his bowl.

Anyone with senior cats can probably tell you vomiting can be an issue, since starting this food my sensitive stomach kitty hasn’t vomited once! My long haired boys coat is even looking shiner! The pieces of food themselves are smaller than your average size which allows for older cats with sensitive teeth to eat it easier.

If you do have a cat that eats fast this can be problematic though as they can easily swallow the pieces whole and end up vomiting. I really like that the bag has a thick Velcro like seal on the inside to keep in freshness and make sealing an easy task.

The resealable bags with a thin seal always seems to open and not seal tight and this thicker sturdier seal gets the job done with no fighting. All around this is a hit in our home!.

She must’ve smelled its goodness in the air because the second I received this package, she went berserk. But backtracking for a second, let’s talk about this packaging. It’s brilliant. How do you keep a good quality food item fresh? Package it from the start the right way so it doesn’t fail.

And this worked. Once the bag is opened, it has a self-closing Velcro strip. Helps ensure freshness and prevents the consumer from having to scramble for a way to keep it closed and/or having to dump it into a container.

This was extra useful since my container was already filled with the prior “all-natural” cat food. So back to Gracie – she loved the smell of this and she loved to eat it. I was unsure at first since I placed this side-by-side in another dish next to her regular dry food.

She devoured it the first night but then didn’t seem interested after. But then I figured it was the dish and then I started placing the food in the same bowl as her regular food and now I’m seeing she’s eating just Now Fresh and leaving the old food.

This is great since I want my cat to have the best possible food ingredients in general. But also since she has stomach sensitivities. She’s a rescue. I took her in over eight years ago and realized quickly she didn’t smell too good.

Realized it was her diet and was only able to serve her natural dried food. Wet food didn’t seem to be an issue. But dried food was. And I was stuck with one product. Now not only do I have a new alternative product, this may be my main one.

The other stuff can be backup. Love this product for their freshness and their superb packaging. And, yeah, Gracie is a fan. She’s the true reviewer here. :).

I have 3 indoor rescue cats. 1- geriatric, 1 – with neurological issues (7-8 years old), and 1- with metabolic issues. I tried many different brands of cat food prior to finding Purevita. Both standard issue and high end.

This cat food was a game changer. My cats have all done remarkably well with this formula. Weight management, gastrointestinal issues, my geriatric cat with chewing/swallowing issues, and an overall improved health status.

They are happier (more energy, healthy coats, and much more less stressed). Would not even consider switching brands. I highly recommend!.

I ordered food my cat on 5/5/22. I paid extra for same day delivery service. I called and left a message for customer service. On Monday, 5/9/22, I received a call. The representative said that the store was never notified.

So she was refunding the delivery fee since it was for same day delivery. She said that she will send the food same day delivery. The whole amount of the purchase was refunded. I finally got the food on the 6th day.

I checked my bank account and noted that it had been debited out of my account. The first time I ordered food. I called the store since I was not notified that the pick up was ready. They said that they never got the order.

I called customer service and they stated that the store needed to refresh the computer. I understand this happening once. But this has occurred 2 out of 3 times. I am very busy and don’t have time to go to the store and pick up food.

Please let me know when you get this fixed. I like your products but everything else is totally unreliable.

I was hesitant buying this product, but was very interested in the high protein no grain aspect and ordered 4 big bags. My cats LOVE it. They try to get into the closed bag when I’m not looking, lol.

Smaller kibble size makes it much easier for my seniors to swallow. And the throwing up of larger kibble has stopped. I have a very nervous Siamese who can throw up at the drop of a hat. It had to be the other foods containing grain and the larger size of the kibble upsetting his stomach.

I’ll use a lot less paper towels now! Definitely worth the extra few dollars, and I will purchase again.

This seems to be a very good food. My 2 cats are eating it well although they have trouble sometimes with keeping it in their mouths. The kibble is so tiny that they can’t chew them well without them falling out of their mouths.

It would certainly help if the kibble could be made a bit bigger so they have something between their teeth. My cats are inside cats and don’t have much else to chew on and clean their teeth with except their food.

But these kibble are too small for that. It is a shame because the ingredients are so good and the cats are staying a healthy weight but once the bags I bought are empty I will switch to a food that stays in their mouths when eating.

Please make the same food and offer a bag with a bit larger kibble. The cats would thank you !.

I have two cats and one of them has very sensitive digest system. I used to feed them with another brand, and one of them always threw up every other day in the morning. This situation last about two years and I took him to the doctor several times, but it didn’t work out.

I’ve tried to feed him can food only, but still he vomits every other day. I did many research about the ingredients of many brands of cat foods. Now, I finally settle down with the right one! This cat food is a real game changer!!! My cat now doesn’t threw up at all, and he can eat variety of foods now since his digest system improved a lot.

This also totally changed my life since he was always hungry and tried to steal human foods which really bothers me at the old days. Also, I don’t have to clean up the mess every time I wake up in the morning! I highly recommend this cat food if you have similar situation.

Every time when I think about how I let my cat suffered from vomiting of eating wrong brands of cat foods, my heart is full of regrets. Thankfully, I can say goodbye forever to that.

I really wanted to like this food. The ingredients are really good and seemed like a good option. I have a kitty with a sensitive tummy, and I am trying to find a food that works for him. Both my cats have NEVER been picky eaters.

They eat whatever. However they will not TOUCH this stuff. I followed normal guidance when switching food for cats and put just a little in the bowl at a time for them mixed with their old food. They just constantly ate around it and would only eat their old food.

When I finally only put the Square Pet in the bowl, they literally refused to eat and preferred to starve! I am not sure what the problem is. One thing that is very different is kibble size. It is SUPER TINY!! It is probably less than 1/2 the size of a pea.

I want to say only slightly bigger than the size of a pin head, but maybe not that small, but it is weirdly small. I wish they would have liked this. 3 stars for ingredients, but that is about it. Maybe your cats will like it.

I am unable to get my usual high protein chicken cat food. I looked at the ingredients and nutritional list that (also excludes peas & legumes) and thought wow, thats a great product. My animals hate it and refuse eat it even mixed in with their old food.

I hate it because their food area stinks like dead fish. I hate it even more that I am out $60 bucks. Beware of the fish meal ingredient in this product, its really pungent.
