My cat is allergic to any and all types of chicken, including meal, fat and by-products. Those ingredients are in almost every wet and dry cat food variety. Tiki Cat is one of the few to have an ingredient list match the stated flavor. This flavor has big cutlets of sardines in the can. My cat loves it, and every other flavor of Tkik Cat that is chicken-free.

Amazon's description of the rabbit canned food states that this product is "Made in the USA" which is highly misleading. The end product may be assembled in the USA, but the main source of protein, rabbit, is sourced from China. I confirmed this information on 10/31/13 with Nature's Variety (1.888.519.7387). This is the only protein sourced from China per their representative at this time. With all the numerous recalls and fatalities involving pet foods/products sourced from China, I have made a point to fully research what I am feeding my pets. For the pet owners who are also concerned, I hope this review is helpful. I still feed my cats Nature's Variety Instinct Chicken canned food along with Orijen both grain free. However, if Orijen produced a canned product, I would change in a heartbeat.

Do you source from China?
"At Nature's Variety, our nutritional philosophy is to source the highest quality, safest, and most nutritious ingredients in the world. We look for our ingredients domestically first. In the case of rabbit meat, we've found that the best supply of high quality, human grade rabbit is found in China. Therefore, we are currently sourcing rabbit meat specifically for our raw and canned rabbit diets from a trusted supplier in China. To help ensure that our strict quality and safety standards are rigorously enforced, this rabbit meat is regularly inspected and monitored by the PhD food scientist we have on staff. Additionally, members of the Nature's Variety leadership team have personally visited and inspected the facility in China. We also employ extra testing (at an independent lab in the United States) to ensure that the rabbit is nothing short of our strictest standards for quality and nutrition."

I thought this dog treat container was cute despite mixed reviews and ordered it along with one in another size. They are both of very poor quality. The gaskets are flimsy and loose fitting. The hinges on both containers are somehow set in a way that does not allow the lids to close aligned to the container. Therefore, when the lids are closed there is a small opening that allows air through and the freshness of the dog treats out. My suggestion is to spend a little more money for a better quality product.
Purina Fancy Feast Delights Cat Food, 3-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)
When this Fancy Feast with Cheddar first came out in Arizona, which was about six months ago, I snapped up several cans as I am always trying to provide variety in the diet of my kitties. And we all know that we want to miss that "can't you see that I am tired of this" expression on our felines faces when they have had to much of something. Mine seem especially burned out on things with chicken in it although I know the chicken is good for them.
Over six months time, this has not been and issue with this Cheddar Chicken. My cats love it. When we are having a "blah" day and no food seems to suit, I get out the Cheddar Chicken and all are happy. This especially applies to my Alpha Female Kitty. She is the one who has the problem getting tired of things!
But she seems to hang in there with this Chicken Feast.
She also likes the WhitefishFancy Feast Delights with Cheddar Grilled Whitefish & Cheddar Cheese Feast in Gravy Canned Cat Food 24 3-oz canned But she is burned out on Turkey and so I do not get that one.Fancy Feast Delights with Cheddar Grilled Turkey & Cheddar Cheese Feast in Gravy Canned Cat Food 24 3-oz canned I give them real Tuna to eat on Sundays (yes they are spoiled) so I do not get the Tuna one at all.Purina Fancy Feast Delights with Cheddar Tuna, 3-Ounce (Pack of 24)
As soon as I found this avilable on Amazon, I quickly ordered it so that a case would come to my house every 3 months. I was delighted.
If you have not yet tried this for your kitty, I would definitely recommend it. Gabriella, (2 years) Trinity (3 years), Wisdom (5 months) and Mercy (5 months) all said that they agree. They feel like, unless your cat eats only finer things than this, your kitty will enjoy Fancy Feast Chicken. They say they are just "middle of the road spoiled", but not "totally spoiled" and they should know. Thank you for your kindness in listening to them. I, too, feel it is a good bet your kitties will like this and I recommend it!
Thank you for your time!

Purina Cat Chow Complete Formula - 18.5lb
I have started out with one stray about two decades ago. Now even with adjustment surgery strays and a few visitors form down the street greet me twice a day. You would think I was loved but all I see is a lot of tails and hear crunching little choppers. Oh occasionally I get a thank you rub. Usually I get a "where have you been?" look.
Back to the point this Purina Cat Chow Dry Cat Food (Complete formula) has kept many generations of cats alive and well. More than they, I have tried substitutions and got a lot of dirty looks.
This Cat Chow stores well in bins and holds up well outside. Occasionally I water some for kittens.

My finicky cats did like this (I however, never did taste it), but they soon got tired of it and wanted something else. My cats have CRF (real failure) and this food is lower in phosphorus than most others, as stated on the feline CRF website. Lower is better.
Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets Venison and Green Pea
I love these Limited Ingredient Diet foods from Natural Balance. Feeding them makes it easy to feed cats with food sensitivities. The protein sources aren't the ones in most commercial pet foods, so they're perfect animals who become sensitive to an ingredient (like chicken) after years of being fed that one protein. Thanks for making these, Natural Balance! They ROCK!

Pet Store 3 Stage Adjustable Dog Feeder
I have been using this product for months and I am very happy with it. Its full height is very good for my hound-mix, and she is a pretty tall dog. It's fairly sturdy considering how light-weight it is... it has rusted just a little from water splashing on it but nothing noticeable.

i first found out about these bags several years back and before i found them available on amazon. i have been using them for at least 4 years and while i love the concept and the product lived up to the expectations at first, my last two batches have really made me wary of their use. i have a 40 lb dog and a 70lb dog. i agree with the reviewer that sometimes with the medium sized dogs with a bigger, messier amount, the size of these bags doesn't quite cut it. however, i carry extra and just use another if there is a larger deposit.
to my dismay, my biggest beef has been with the reliability of these bags lately. the last two orders of 4-packs that i have ordered have split open, either along the seam on the bottom or just along the crease on the side. it's happened several times that i am just walking along and the poop flies out from the bag behind me, in front of me, off to the side, wherever, due to a burst seam. i cringe at the thought of a bag bursting open and getting fecal on my leg or on my dogs. my dogs are well trained, loose leash walkers who flank my legs so it's not like there is crazy activity on my part with regard to momentum/inertia. i thought double bagging would be a solution but have found that even triple-bagged, the seams burst. i think i have found a replacement biodegradable solution and am sad that i cannot stay with this product.
i am not sure if the recipe for the starch bags has changed over the years or if i am getting really old batches (just like rubber bands, every product has a life-span) but due to my reluctance to get poop on my person, i have to switch away from these.
Taste of the Wild Dry Cat Food, Rocky Mountain Feline Formula
List Price: $37.14
Sale Price: $29.99
Today's Bonus: 19% Off
I've been feed grain-free for many years, back when Innova Evo seemed to be the only company available at the local pet food store (not big stores like Petsmart). I switched off Evo a few years ago when grain prices increased and never decreased... taking my normal $40/large bag to $44 to $46 and now $50. The knowledgeable owner recommended Taste of the Wild as comparable and much less expensive at $30/large bag. This is much more cost effective for us since we have four cats to feed.
I periodically re-research the state of cat foods to check whether Taste of the Wild is still comparable to the best available brands and it's held steady among the more expensive brands for several years (Innova Evo, Orijen, Wellness Core, etc.) Recently, I did more research and found that wet food/raw frozen food/raw homemade food is the best option for healthy kitties, NOT any kind of dry processed food (although grain free is still better than other substandard brands). However, dry food is still the most convenient for early morning automatic feedings, short trips away from home, and having a backup supply.
This food, both this and the other available flavor, has been fine for the cats. They think it's tasty, don't barf it up (only one cat has issues and it's from scarfing his food in two minutes flat, not the food itself), and it keeps their coats healthy. Their weight seems stable (although the two fat cats stay fat from stealing food and human leftovers), energy levels fine (for an animal that sleeps 16hrs/day), and they're not eating scary junk (which is what I now think of the Iams/Eukanuba they ate before I went grain-free). Handling the food isn't bad, it smells like cat food, but not overwhelmingly gross (some dry kibble can be strongly odorous). The price point is the best plus for me for a dry food.
Regarding other posts about unhappy cats... GRADUALLY introduce a new food. If your animal notices that there's something different or just refuses to eat, you're probably doing it too fast.
Also, I'm not that concerned about the ethoxyquin issue that someone else pointed out (that particular poster is also talking about dog food forums too). Many manufacturers claim that it gets eliminated from the high heat (heavy processing that makes dry food so much unhealthier for cats in general) and others claim that all non-human consumption "ocean fish" get treated with ethoxyquin under US law which dissipates over time, yadda yadda, etc. Basically, there's a lot of talk about it and not a whole lot of evidence that it has any provable effects on animals. Just about everything processed nowadays seems to cause cancer or other horrible things. The non-ethoxyquin foods still mislead consumers (farm fish instead of ocean fish, etc.) or just use human-grade fish, which makes it MUCH more expensive. If you're that concerned about getting the best food quality and absolute healthiest diet for your beloved pet, IMO, you shouldn't be using dry cat food at all.
Bamboo Feed & Toss 30oz Blue Dog Bowl with 2 Disposable Liners
I loved the design of the bowl more than anything! I wasn't so sure about the whole "disposable" idea, though. I used it as their main bowls. Maybe if I had only used it for travel, it wouldn't have gotten as dirty. This bowl is VERY difficult to clean. With daily use, it got a lot a dirt around the inner edge of where the disposable part meets the non-disposable part. A sponge doesn't reach down there. I don't clean my bowls every day, but once a week and it still got very dirty with indoor use only. The disposables are also expensive and flimsy.

My little 8 year old Devon Rex has always had a very sensitive stomach and probably has IBS. I have tried possibly all brands of pet food, and she had been doing OK, not great, on the California Natural brand. Lately her tummy has been acting again (I'll spare you the unpleasant details on how I found out) so I decided it was time to try something else, and that's when I found the Halo food at my local Whole Foods.
It's very expensive, but I thought it might be worth a try.
Well, a month later, I'm pleased to report 200% success. The Devon's stomach is settled, and my other cat (a 2 year old rescue mutt) is doing great on it as well.
The unexpected benefit? No more stinky poo smell in the room where the litterbox is! This alone would be worth the higher price, but it's also good in these days of tainted pet food to know the manufacturer is dedicated to producing healthy, nutritious food for our beloved pets.
Well worth the premium price and highly recommended. Try getting the 20lbs bag if you can as it's significantly cheaper per pound than the 3 and 6 pound bags.
Four Paws Honeysuckle and Catnip Mist, 4-Ounce
16 cats and not one even blinked an eye when I sprayed this on their toys and cat condo's. Uselss product. Will go back to buying straight honeysuckle spray available on Amazon. They were sold out for a while. Don't waste your money on this. It's totally useless.
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Calorie Control CC High Fiber Canned
$3 a can is pretty expensive dog food. Our Vet said we are to use this Royal Canine High Fiber, low calorie dog food for our
11 year old toy poodle. She has had plugged anal glands three different times in the last 5 years -so they said to use
this dog food, which we have for 3 years. The price has gone from $2 a can to now $3 per can.
Soon we will not be able to afford to buy it.
We are retired and on a limited budget.
My dog likes the dog food a lot.

Purchased this product for our cat. He is 12 years old and was diagnosed with diabetes in December. He requires twice daily inulin shots. My husband and I like to travel and purchased this so Kitty can come along with us. It is large enough that we can place a small tray of litter in the back and Kitty can stand up and move around (unlike cat carriers which are very small). We strap it into the back seat of our car and away we go. We also have it in the den when we are home and Kitty enjoys lounging inside it.
It is built well enough for our purposes and has great ventilation. Overall, we are pleased with this item. It is working out very well.
