Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Poultry & Beef Feast Variety Pack Adult Canned Cat Food. This variety pack contains 8 cans each of: Beef Feast in Roasted Beef Flavor Gravy, Chicken Feast in Grilled Chicken Flavor Gravy, and Turkey Feast in Roasted Turkey Flavor Gravy. The makers state that this food is enriched with vitamins and minerals and will provide complete and balanced nutrition. The cans come with convenient flip tops.

When I adopted my cat Fiona named by them-at a nearby animal care and control facility, they told me that she loved meat. Am so glad they did, because this very pretty little creature is apparently half-feral, and after six years here, still very skittish, and half neurotically afraid of my husband and me. In the first couple of months we had her, she ran away a half-dozen times, and was once gone for two weeks before we found her. But she does love meat, thank goodness. We think she has decided to stay with us because she loves meat, Treats, our other, male cat, catnip. And warm, soft places.

But, with time, I have discovered that she actually likes gravy better than meat, and found this product. And actually, she will eat several more varieties of this product than just these; I buy them all. Anyway, some days, she will eat the meat in her dish, some days not, but she always slurps up the gravy. She's still a small creature, eats only half a can a day. When I take the second half of a can out of the refrigerator the next day, I simply dunk it in room temperature water for a while to warm it; might add a little bit of water, and a little bit of salt to it to punch it up after its night in the cold.

We have developed a little morning ritual around her meal. She wants her breakfast; will actually get quite close to me, even touch me, will let me touch her for a second or two. It's the highlight of our day.

I really wanted this food to work, as it seems to have good ingredients for a decent price. However, my cats, who are typically ravenous little mongrels, don't even bother to check it out when offered. So much for saving a couple of bucks--now they eat Organix.

It doesn't work. When you order it, they send you the newer product called "Goodbye Odor"...and it doesn't work. From what I've been told, they changed something and they should have kept the old formula. Don't waste your money.

I swear by this food! Daves is great. I do cat rescue and adoptions and give the cats this food. They have very glossy coats, the vet says the cats look great. Unfortuanately it is hard to find, but being I am in Connecticut and this food is made nearby alot of farm supply places carry it. It is alot cheaper though. You can get it here from 25-30.00. This is totally overprices on Amazon.

Honestly, I think this bowl is adorable, at least it would be if any of the four bowls I purchased survived the shipping in one piece. There was nothing wrong with the box the bowls arrived in, but the minute I picked it up from my porch, I could tell from the sound that I wasn't going to be happy with what I found inside. The bowls were wrapped in only a single thin layer of bubble wrap and there was plenty of space in the box for them to rattle around and knock into the other items I had purchased. Come on, Amazon! I expected better from you! I'd even be willing to pay a little extra for better cushioning in the shipping box if it would save me the trouble and disappointment of having to make a return. I will really think twice before buying any breakable items from Amazon again. I don't want new bowls from Amazon. I've requested a refund and will look for the bowls elsewhere.

This product seems to be doing the trick along with another product I have been prescribed by my vet. My cat has chronic constipation. She does not seem to ingest enough water. Although I do a lot of other things to assist her regularity, [pumpkin in in the diet, added water to the food...], the combination of this product and the vet's product seem to be helping to keep her going.

Our two cats are 4.5 and 7.5 years old (so their teeth are good) and they love the no-chunck, pate-like consistency. They love this flavor. This is a great product we include in their feeding rotation (some wet food, some dry food, some treats).

apparently our 1 year old male Persian has a wimpy G.I. system or has a fish allergy. If we feed him normal foods (most have some kind of fish by-product) he gets the runs and atomic smells and gassy. After searching for a food that has no seafood (recommended by our vet) I found this stuff and tried it out on the cats. They did have to warm up to it, but after a few days they like it and eat it all up. Also, the Persian immediately stopped having the G.I. issues, but still occasionally pees on his sac fur.

We have recently switched again to a prescription diet food for him and it seems to have fixed that part of the issue.

Overall, if you have a "normal" cat (a mutt breed) I think this food would be a great choice as the ingredients all sound quite healthy...I wish this was available locally, too.

Thanks, Hill's Science Diet, for reformulating this great dry cat food without telling anyone thus causing my cat to vomit all over the house. My cat had been eating this for nine years. We finished our last bag, went out and bought a new one, only to find the whole thing had been reformulated to contain much more fat. Further, since we were all out of the previous formula, there was no way to introduce this slowly to our cat. She gobbled it up, and has been throwing up for the past five days. We've added water and a little canned pumpkin to her bowl, and started giving her smaller meals to help her sensitive tummy adjust, but I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with the food itself. In any case, it's awful that they changed the formula unannounced.

My calico cat loves the Whiskas Choice Cuts in gravy. She's not a fan of ground food. The Whiskas envelopes bought in the Poultry and Seafood variety packs give her a varied selection that keeps her interested. The only problem now is availability. The past 4 months I've had to buy elsewhere or get some other brand because amazon has stopped stocking them regularly. I was buying the 48 pack of each at a time, but they've been out of stock on one or the other, I'm wondering why. They have the seafood now, but only 1 left. I signed up for Amazon prime because of ordering the catfood every 6 weeks here. I don't understand why Amazon is dropping it.

Blue Buffalo Spa Select Dry Cat Food, Salmon and Rice Recipe

Blue Buffalo Spa Select Dry Cat Food, Salmon and Rice Recipe, 15-Pound Bag
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I have been feeding my cats Blue Buffalo kibble almost exclusively for the past ten or eleven years, and my cats are doing great with it. Two of my cats, from the same litter, are twenty-two, and a third will be twenty-two next month, while the baby is ten years old. One of the older cats has arthritis but it is managed very well with Cosequin, and the twenty-two year-old had to have a couple of teeth removed a couple of months ago. Other than that, my cats are healthy and active, and I attribute this to a good diet.

I came to Blue Buffalo when one of the older cats began losing fur. She was biting and scratching at everything she could reach and, as a result, her fur was completely missing in spots. She looked like she had mange, except that I don't think cats get mange. After a few veterinary visits and some time on steroids, it was suggested that she may have a food allergy, and that cats are commonly allergic to corn, soy or wheat, which are the most common ingredients in cheaper cat foods, and even some of the more expensive ones, such as Science Diet, which is what I had been feeding.

There are several premium cat foods on the market that don't use corn, soy or wheat, and I tried some other excellent foods before I discovered Blue Buffalo. My cat's fur problem cleared up within a couple of weeks but it seemed that one or another of my cats didn't like whatever it was that I was feeding them. Then we came across one of the Blue Buffalo representatives at Petco one day, and decided to try Blue Buffalo kibble.

All of my cats liked Blue Buffalo, and still do today. They like a great deal of variety in canned foods but are happy to be eating Blue Buffalo kibble day in and day out. I do rotate between the different recipes available from Blue Buffalo, but I don't think they would mind eating the same one all the time. Even in canned foods, my cats all like the Blue Buffalo recipes, but I include many other brands in their canned food selections.

Only recently have I begun feeding them canned food on a regular basis, and that has to do with their age. Poor hydration can be a problem with older cats and, with four cats, it's difficult for me to tell how much water each cat is drinking. To make sure that they are getting some hydration, I have begun giving them a 5.5 ounce can of canned food, split between them, in the morning and at night.

While I initially switched to Blue Buffalo for the sake of the one cat who had developed a food allergy, I soon found that all of my cats were doing very well with it. Although I had thought they were healthy before, the difference after a month or two of eating Blue Buffalo was dramatic. Things that I had attributed to age were reversed. Today, at twenty-two, my cats are as active and playful as they were at twelve. When I took the two older ones to a new veterinarian, he thought they were eight or nine, not twenty-two. In the eleven or twelve years that I have been feeding Blue Buffalo, my cats have not had a flea problem. Blue Buffalo is not marketed for flea control but I think that a healthy cat has a built-in resistance to fleas.

Their basic diet remains kibble, however. I free feed them kibble, meaning that they always have kibble available to them. There are many good brands of kibble, as there is in canned food. My choices are to look for something without corn, soy, wheat, by-products, or gluten of any kind. Both kibble and canned food should have poultry, fish or meat as the primary ingredient. Every now and then I will do a taste test, setting out a bowl of another kind of suitable premium cat food along side an identical bowl of Blue Buffalo, and the results are nearly always the same. The first day, they will primarily eat the new food, as if exploring new and interesting tastes, but the first bowl to be emptied is always the Blue Buffalo. Cats like it, and it's good for them.

A few things to consider...

Premium cat food is more expensive than grocery store brands when you are comparing cost per pound. However, most of what you are buying in a grocery store brand (and some more expensive brands as well) are ingredients that cats don't digest well, such as corn, soy and wheat. Cats eating grocery store brands will have to eat more bulk in order to meet their nutritional needs, and much of that will be deposited in the litter box. On a diet of grocery store brand cat food, cats are more likely to gain weight, much the same as people whose diet consists mainly of junk food.

After switching to a premium cat food, such as Blue Buffalo, it is not unusual for the cat to eat a lot of food at first, as real food may taste better to them than what they were eating before. At some point, often within a week or two, the cat may begin to eat considerably less. This does not indicate that the cat doesn't like the new food anymore; more likely, it means that the cat's body is telling him that he doesn't have to eat that much. Cats on premium cat food are more likely to regulate the amount of food that they eat than are cats on grocery store brands, but it might take a few weeks for that to kick in.

Cats don't know how to read labels, so it is your responsibility to learn how to do that. I will let my cats eat whatever they wish, but only after I have limited their choices to foods that are good for them. Blue Buffalo is not the only healthy cat food on the market, and your cat may do well on another premium food. I think there's something to the Life Source bits that makes sense to me, and my experience has been that they have done very well with Blue Buffalo.

I could say more, but I've gone on too long already.

I have a 15 year old cat. He has been a finicky eater all his life but has gotten a lot worse in the last few years. When I could get him to eat, he would eat a few bites then quit and never touch the food until I put out fresh food. Then the same routine.

When I received the Tuna Too Cool I didn't expect him to eat it, boy was I surprised. I gave him 1/4 of the can first and he ate it all then licked the bowl clean. I had NEVER seen him do that before. I gave him another 1/4 can and he did the same thing. I didn't want to give him too much at one time so I put the rest of the can in the refrigerator and I waited 3-4 hours. He laid down next to the bowl the whole time. Then I gave him the rest of the can and he ate it all and licked the bowl clean.

I'll be ordering this again and trying the other flavors from Best Feline Friend. It will be my cats only food in the future.

This is a very nice pellet food for both saltwater and freshwater fish. I will write a quick anecdote as a testament to the quality of this food.

I received four festivums in the mail from a seller I thought was reputable. When they arrived, all four fish were sick and infested with both parasites and bacterial infections. Two fish were dead upon arrival, one fish died in quarantine in a matter of a day while one fish just lingered close to death. I don't use medications for my fish as I never really encounter illnesses because I usually buy from a different and certainly better fish seller.

I didn't think the surviving festivum would live past another day, the festivum didn't seem interested in doing anything other than lingering in the corner of my sick tank. But I went through the motions of keeping his water high quality and feeding him New Life Thera A. Almost the second the food hit the water, the festivum swam over and gently ate the few floating pellets. That a dying fish found this food attractive, is a testament to the quality of this food.

Well, with nothing more than clean water and New Life Spectrum Thera A food, my festivum (Festy the festering festivum as I call him) came back to life with a vengeance. In a matter of weeks he was fully healthy with minimal long term damage. He is now king of my cichlid tank.

This food is very good. Fish really like it, it has a nice balance of nutrients and ingredients and it doesn't cloud the water. There are downsides, the pellets are small and the food can affect your tank's phosphates if the feeding regimen is too heavy or not monitored. For some types of saltwater tanks this could be a problem, but it can be handled. For me and my fish 'Festy", New Life Spectrum Thera A is a sure five star product.
