Switched my senior cat and older kitten to this food and they both LOVE it! I can’t fill the bowls fast enough. I love that it has a urinary health profile and is low in phosphorous for my senior kitty for kidney health.
This is a great choice for cats with sensitivities. Our two rescues are happier and healthier for it! We’ve gone through many high-end foods, but most of them market towards human food trends, and so as you can imagine, they’re much too rich for felines. The cats seem to prefer this flavour to the fish one, so we’re going to stick to it. I’ve recommended it to friends whose cats had similar issues (digestive/urinary), and it seems to be the miracle cure for all of them. Hope the formula stays the same forever!
I have a senior cat, and I feed her a mix of dry and wet foods, as I work long hours, so the dry is more… convenient, I guess? What else do you do when you are gone for 12plus hours? Anyway, we’ve been through a lot of dry kibble brands, most recently Go! Natural. I discovered through trial and error that peas make my cat vomit profusely, so it really limits what kind of dry I can feed here.
She loves the FirstMate wet cat food, so today when she was at the vet’s for her yearly appt, I got her a bag of Chicken and Blueberries dry kibble, as the vet said it was obvious she was having some food allergies.
For the first time in years, she got really excited over her kibble, even preferring it to her wet portion of FirstMate, and although I had side-to-side bowls of the Go! Natural and FirstMate Chicken and Blueberries, upon her return from the vet she only ate from the FirstMate dry bowl.
Well, I’m sold, since she is, and with the limited ingredients, it should make tracking her allergies much easier. Thank you for being local, for making good quality food, and for caring about the animals we share our lives with. It does make a difference.
