Taste of the WildCanyon River Feline Recipe with Trout & Salmon in Gravy 5.5oz (pack of 24)

I mostly feed Blue Buffalo, and my cats have done very well with it. With rare exceptions, Blue Buffalo is the only kibble that I feed to my cats. However, my cats appreciate some variety in canned food so I look around for different quality foods that I can rotate into their feeding regimen. Among the things that I look for in any cat food are primary ingredients consisting of poultry, fish or meat, and an absence of corn, soy, wheat, or gluten of any kind. Two of my cats just turned twenty-two, a third will be twenty-two in a month, and a fourth is ten years of age, so I include canned food in their diet twice a day, to ensure proper hydration. While I rotate between the various Blue Buffalo canned food choices, I add other quality canned food choices to the diet plan, as well. My cats are satisfied with the same kibble day after day, but they get bored with the same canned food more than a couple of days in a row.The Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Formula in Gravy was well received by all four of my cats, and I am very pleased with its ingredients. The ingredient list is my first test, and if I don't like the ingredients, my cats never get to taste the food. I happen to know that there are some pretty bad cat foods on the market that my cats will nevertheless like the taste of, so I don't leave everything up to an animal that is unable to read the ingredient list. The first ingredients are as follows: Salmon, fish broth, chicken broth, chicken liver, chicken, dried egg white, ocean fish, peas, modified potato starch, natural flavor, roasted salmon...I am always curious about listed ingredients such as "natural flavor" - natural flavor of what? But that strange ingredient is listed tenth from the top, so there's probably not very much of whatever it is. Other than that, everything in the ingredient list is recognizable to me as being either a natural food, vitamin, mineral or other necessary ingredient.In summary, the ingredients are very good and my cats like the taste, so Taste of the Wild is a go in this family. It's not the only food that I'll feed them by any means, and Blue Buffalo will continue to be my staple, as far as kibble goes, but Taste of the Wild has earned its place in my canned food rotation.

My cats are definitely spoiled and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them. When it comes to their food I read all of the information available about the brand, ingredients and where it’s made, my partners cat was poisoned by the food made in China, I won’t take any chances buying substandard food to save a few dollars. Taste of the Wild is highly recommended for the quality of its ingredients. That being said my kitties love this food but they are picky in that they only lap up the gravy ! For some strange reason pate is what they want. No worries!! problem easily solved I simply take out my potato masher and mash away. Now one of my kitties is toothless, poor baby loves his dry food. Rather than watch him gum his Taste of the Wild dry food I take a handful of dry and stir it in his “mashed” wet food. I then add water in the empty can and divide it into each kitties bowl and voila ! Mushy cat yummy’s and they lap up every bit of this weird concoction. Despite having several cat fountains my toothless kitty refuses to drink enough water so adding extra to his food helps me feel better. This is a brand I trust and the quality is outstanding. I highly recommend you try this food for your fur babies.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This product used to be good, but I’ve noticed in the past two deliveries an extremely strong smell that didn’t used to be present. My cats have largely stopped eating this and as of this morning, one of my cats has diarrhea, presumably from this food. I wouldn’t recommend this flavor any longer and I’m not sure what the quality control standards are. It’s too expensive to have such an inconsistent product (and now questionable for cat’s health too).

My cat really seems to like this flavor/taste. And, this seems to have a good price point compared to others I've bought.

My cats love this food and it's sometimes difficult to find where I live, so I ordered online. The case of food arrived in a box slightly larger than the case, with no padding in the box other than a few sheets of crumpled paper. The box was damaged in transit, and a few of the cans were popped open by the time they arrived to me, and I threw them out. I won't be ordering online again due to the poor packaging.
