Alas, the poo is extra-stinky

We switched to Instinct dry from Evo because it has just as much protien but costs about $12 less per bag. When you buy as much cat food as we do (we breed Maine Coons) that adds up!Well, we used Instinct for several months and the cats really liked it. During this same time period we started having problems with loose stools and poo that smelled extra-noxious. Seriously, when one of the cats would go it was as if an entire football team farted in our living room. We thought maybe we had gotten giardia in the house, but the tests came back clean.Finally, we put two and two together and tried switching back to Evo dry. Within a day the cat poo odor dropped to a normal level of stink.You may not have this same problem with your cats, but I'll spend the extra money on Evo, thank you.

Not gluten free

This food is described as gluten free, but it is not as evidenced by independent testing. For those who suffer from celiac disease, avoid this cat food.

Not so much

I tried this food for several months but it made my cats throw up. They lost weight so switched back to Kirkland brand.

My 15 year old cat won't touch this food

Bought a bag of this, hoping to get my cat away from the grains, rotten meat and other garbage in most commercial cat food. My cat has never been finicky, but she wants nothing to do with this food. I even tried another reviewer's idea of putting the food through the food processor with a bit of water, but the cat smelled it and still didn't want it. The search for a better cat food product continues. I gave it 2 stars only because it's a cat-health conscious product, but maybe it should be 1 star since my cat won't eat it.

Unwilling Substitute for Wellness Core

My 2 Turkish Van kitties usually eat Wellness Core w/ no grain, but when they were due for a new bag Amazon was out of stock and I would have had to pay shipping, not to mention wait much longer to receive it, so I looked for something similar as a substitute.Long story short, my cats hate this food... even the female. They barely touch their bowls and would rather go hungry than eat it. I've been mixing it in with some wet food that I have so they'll acquire a taste for it. As many cat lovers know, Vans are very vocal. So they've been whining and crying about the food even with full dishes. Essentially indicating, "We want our old food back!"I will be sticking to Wellness Core. I do not recommend it to owners with picky kitties.

Cat refuses to eat this food!

I was really excited to find a grain free food that was fairly affordable. Unfortunately, my cat will not touch this stuff! In fact my other cat that does not have grain issues won't eat it either. I think some of it has to do with the fairly large, square shape of the kibble. It is almost like dog food. Other than that it is the taste. The only way I can get my cat to eat this food is to put it through the food processor to break up the large pieces and douse it with water to make it seem like wet food. (My cat has always eaten dry food so it is not a dry/wet issue). By the way, although this food says it is grain free, it does still have grain in its ingredients. This is really deceiving and I am not sure why they are able to label this food as grain free. This purchase was a total waste of money and I will look for another brand and hope that my cat will eat it without the need to doctor it.
