Don't do it. There is a green washer like cap with a hole in it. My dog broke and chewed that out in under 30 minutes. I have not been able to find all the little broken green pieces. I can only presume that they went down his throat. With luck, they will just come out the other end. This ball is not recommended.
FortiFlora FELINE - Box of 30 (1 gram packets)
After antibiotics treatment, our cat developed a chronic diarrhea lasting almost one year. The vet prescribed some anti parasites treatments and the dry food was changed to a low residue diet with no effect. Upon my insistence, a comprehensive stool analysis was performed. Results were negative. A cat internist was consulted and he suggested the use of FortiFlora. The results have been outstanding. After approx 3 weeks stool was solid. FortiFlora was given for 2 additional months. Now our cat is doing very well. Interestingly, he loves the product and licks the remaining FortiFlora dust in his food bowl. I asked the manufacturer (Nestle) for how long FortiFlora could be given to cats. The answer: no limits, basically for the entire life of the cat. Prudently, we stopped giving FortiFlora to our cat after 2 months. I have a theory: The antibiotics wiped out the intestinal flora of our cat and some adverse bacterial strains took over. No balance with beneficial bacteria could be established by giving to our cat dry (sterilized) food. Hence the necessity to introduce in his digestive system beneficial bacteria. I just presented facts and a theory. I did not receive any incentive whatsoever by anybody to promote FortiFlora. I simply wish this information can be of benefit to other beloved cats.
San Francisco Bay Brand Bloodworm - 28 g
I've been looking for "real" bloodworms for a while. Most are simply mosquito larvae. If you are looking for true bloodworms, then this is the right one to get. The container is quite large, and should last 6 months or more. Great product at a reasonable price.
Ami Cat Vegan Cat Food -4kg (8.8lbs)
One of my 3 cats immediately went for Ami. The other 2 didn't pay it any attention. The only part I didn't like was that
when the Ami girl pooped it was very smelly. That might be because she also eats wet Natural Balance and the mix
causes some digestive issue not sure. I like Ami because it is Vegan and because it should be GMO free since it is made
in the EU/Italy.

Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Feline Rabbit Canned Cat Food 24/5.9
Are you kidding with a price like this for one case of the royal canin hypoallergenic moist cat food (PR). This is the highest price I've seen on any of the many websites I've reviewed. This shouldn't cost more than $50.
Shrimp Pellets Tropical Fish Food, 32 oz

I have been using this fish food for many years, always buying locally. Due to pet stores closing and the chains not carrying it, I finally thought to try Amazon. I about fainted when I saw how cheap it was, even including shipping! It was nearly 1/3 the cost per ounce what I paid for my last can locally.
This food is specially good for meat eating fish, I have always used it for goldfish, which I grow in a huge tank. This is the only food they get. I tend to only have 1 or 2 fish at a time, my last one lived 13 years and grew to 13" on this food alone.

OK, now I'm a Dad and my daughter wins a goldfish at the local fair..a year later she wins another and then gets bored so we by more fish, so I go from a 5 gallon tank, to a 16 gallon tank and now a 29 gallon tank. Now anyone who knows fish, knows just how dirty goldfish are, they're the worst. I was feeding a tank of about four goldfish, two fantails two tiger barbs once a day with Tetra Goldfish Flakes and later Tetra Goldfish Tropical Crisps. The fish love the Tetra Flakes and especially the crisps but despite my best efforts at filtration, the water would start to discolor after a few days and I wound up doing weekly water changes of about 50%. I tried different filtering media in my three stage filtering system, I upgraded the pump to get more water moving through the system and despite everything, cloudy dull water after 7 days.. Now, I'm just a Dad, not a fish expert, but one night I tell my wife we're out of flake food and she brings home this Wardley food. After a water change I began feeding them once a day the Wardley flakes and Voila! no dirty water!!! Now, to be fair, one of the other things I did was change out a faulty clogged airstone and increased the circulation in my tank with a circulation pump. Since I change the filter media I could see that the fish were producing about a third less waste using the Wardley food, so the combination of the right food, good water circulation and proper aeration were the keys to my success. Thanks to my lovely wife for not knowing what to buy, in this case it was a winner! Listen, I was close to spending about $160 on an external large 5-stage filtration system so keying in on the "right ingredients" saved me a bundle. Note that I also recommend using Tetra Easy Balance Plus once a week to maintain the water's ph level and take care of the build-up of nitrates. I also use Fluval Zero-Carb Ammonia remover (goldfish waste produces a lot of ammonia so it's good to have something specifically to combat that) and carbon in my filter system with one stage of coarse filter media to catch the big waste and two stages of the Marineland blue filter media to get the rest along with some ceramic rings for growing a bacteria colony to clean the water.. and just remember, it all started by spending $5 at a country fair to win a 29-cent goldfish..what we do for the love of our children!
Nature's Animals Gourmet Select Organic Mini Bones Dog Treat
Honestly, I took a chance and bought these for my dogs in order to complete the free shipping price. I was excited that they loved them. They are the perfect size for my dogs (a mini schnauzer & a beagle/basset mix) for a snack in between meals every once in a while. I don't feel like they're too big & I don't feel like they're too small so I don't feel like I'm over-feeding them. Definitely gonna be buying them again. :-)
Simply Right Pet Care Complete Nutrition Cat Food - 18.5 lb.
This is Sam's Club product (formerly under the "Members Mark" Sam's Club label.) It's excellent, and less expensive than any other brands I've looked at. We have a no-kill shelter, essentially, so we go through about 10 18lb bags a month. My local Sam's Club just started stocking this product, and I'm very glad they have done so, as it saves me a significant amount of money, replacing Purina Cat Chow, and Dad's Special Grill cat foods.
What's especially good to see, is there is NO red food coloring, which causes cats to vomit. There's no coloring at all. The less junk added to please HUMAN perceptions, the better.
Now if only the major manufacturers would stop using CORN as the filler, which makes cat fat and sick....
Overall a good budget cat food. It's good for nursing mothers and kittens as well, who need extra nutrition.
Do yourself a favor, just buy this at Sam's Club, it's $9.99 a bag here in Wilkes Barre, should be similar elsewhere. The price is too high on Amazon, and shipping cost really kills the deal.

I wrote another review for the 'Skin' formula as well... one of my kitties suffers from feline acne on his jawline. After about a week of using the 'Skin' combined with 'Repair' I noticed an improvement, and after a couple of weeks it had cleared up entirely. Any time I see a sign that it might flair up, I spritz some on to his food.

Bought a pack of these since I saw them on sale at my local grocer and we were running out of his usual treats. Once I opened it, my cat came running. I'm thinking he could smell it from across the room. I gave him one and it disappeared instantly, and he looked up right away and begged for more. I gave him a few more and put it away but he would not stop begging until I gave him more. One more, that's it. I put it away again and my cat got all feisty and testy with me. He started biting my empty fingers until I gave in again!
I don't really like how it unleashes the BEAST in my sweet cat, but I can tell he loves it. It's like a drug even! With that said, I don't think I'll buy another pack for him. He loved his old treats but it never made him go crazy. There must be some kind of MSG-equivalent in these treats that makes them beg for more. I've never seen him act so ravenous after getting a treat.
ZuPreem® FruitBlend with Natural Fruit Flavors Medium/Large Bird
My African Grey eats fruit, vegetables, and any food that I am eating. To insure she is getting all the vitamins that she needs, I make sure she has her ZuPreem. She loves to make soup out of it by putting it in the water before she eats it. It even smells fruity. My dog likes it too.

I freeze my old 20oz soda bottles to screw on the water feeder. I add a little to tray for the dog. It keeps water from going all over the place when you change the bottles and the dogs get cold water to drink.
Vita Prima Large Hookbill Safflower Formula, 4.5 lbs.
Parrots can live a LONG time... ours are 20 and 21. And they have an opinion on their favorite food.... This is it. So when my local PetSmart stopped carrying it, I had a problem.
Here comes Amazon. And Amazon Prime, which is just great for heavy items like this food doesn't apply (bummer).
Still I got two bags delivered to my door in two days for a little over $25, compared to $16 each when PetSmart had them.
And don't forget the saving on gas, etc.
And the food is fresh, at least based on smell.
EASY decision.

Merrick Cowboy Cookout Sausages for Dogs, (34 Count)
After reading up on cat nutrition, we ordered some of this and another high-end brand. Our 2 young cat brothers are used to Nutro and Friskies wet food, which makes up 50% of their diet (the rest dry).
It looks similar in color and texture to ground beef, and is very sticky, like ground beef (but I'm guessing it's cooked).
catinfo.org said Cowboy Cookout is formulated to mimic real mouse. Well, must be working, because our one cat took a half-can-sized slab, and ran with it dangling from his mouth like a trophy as I chased him around the house. Amazingly the huge chunk didn't fall apart until I caught him and he started to struggle. He kept doing this, I had to break it up so it doesn't stick together. So two thumbs up from him.
The other cat wasn't a big fan, perhaps cause he's never had real beef (instead of beef byproducts?) he kept stopping and looking around for something better to eat. He eventually finished his half-can, but took about 10 minutes to do so (during which I have to fight off his brother from stealing it).
So make sure your cats like real beef, and the sticky consistency seems to make them take chunks from the bowl and eat it on the floor, which is messy. They don't do this with other wet foods. I will probably buy a chicken-based from Merrick next time.
Edit: Changed to 5 stars, cause the only downside is your cat may not like beef, and I noticed it's the only can I've seen that doesn't appear to have a plastic (BPA) liner bravo for that!

I had ordered this for our outdoor cat that seemed to have dry skin compounded with terrible shedding. She would constantly groom herself with no improvement. I have been using the product for approximately 6 weeks and have had a wonderful turn around in her coat. It's shiny, smooth, less shedding, just an all around improvement. I squirt just a small amount on her dry food each morning and she doesn't hesitate to eat. I will definitely be ordering more in the future!
