We recently found that our cat has an allergy to chicken so we went on a search for a food that was equal in quality to the ones she was use to. Our first attempt at a replacement was lamb and brought catastrophic results. Her eyes even got red and swollen from just a few bites! Very sad. We had given her duck before so I felt it would be pretty safe to try this one. Being from the school of hesitation, first she sniffed her bowl at every point it seemed. I was beginning to wonder if she would grace me with consuming it at all. First she nibbled on some of her regular food that was mixed in, which tonight was the Newman's organic turkey. Then she started in on the duck and that was it! She finished her whole bowl and licked it clean in good time for her because she is my pokey one. It seems like a winner for her and I have to say I was very impressed with the food as well. The consistency is like a course grind which I think she liked better than a smooth pate. You could see the carrots and peas mixed in and it had a nice sauce around it. This seems like a regular for her.
UPDATE 12-31-2011 : I do have to say that our allergy challenged kitty started having the same itchy, scaly skin with this duck as she did with her chicken. I still would give it 5 stars though, because it is an incredible food...just not for her. Turns out all she seems to be able to eat is rabbit. She loves it and there hasn't been anymore flaky skin or excessive shedding since she has been on only that protein.
UPDATE 2-13-2012 : Our oldest cat has now developed a chicken allergy so I tried this for her and she still was flaky too. I think the turkey liver, which is the second ingredient, has been the culprit all along. We'll see as we go on with her testing. She is able to have rabbit and beef though so that is a huge peace of mind for me. Blue Buffalo makes a duck that is all duck and we are trying that for her as well. I did take a star away from my original review because I can't believe a company would mix proteins when people are obviously looking for single protein solutions.
