If you’ve got a cat that loves sauces more than food itself, creamy lickable cat treats will change your life. Mine licks every drop and then looks offended when I haven’t opened a second tube. I tried the creamy lickable cat treats mega mix because I wanted multiple flavors in one go. Turns out, scallop and chicken & liver tie in popularity. I mix them with Nature’s Domain chicken cans to keep things balanced. No mess, easy squeeze, and even the dog sits politely hoping for a drip.
I’ve been feeding my cats Vital Essentials frozen cat food the rabbit chubs and chicken mini patties. They absolutely love it, especially when slightly thawed. I also sprinkle some freeze-dried Vital Essentials cat food on top. Compared to Nature’s Domain or Nutra Nuggets, it feels more nutrient-rich. I checked Vital Essentials cat food reviews, ingredients, and even recalls no major concerns. Coats are shinier, digestion seems fine, and energy is high. Buying online is convenient, and a few pet stores nearby also stock it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to switch to raw or freeze-dried feeding.
I tried switching from Pure Cravings to Redbarn Cat Food because my vet said I should go for something simpler and less processed. The Redbarn Chicken Pâté was an instant hit. My senior cat, who usually ignores most wet cat food, actually asks for it now! The ingredients are clean, and I’ve seen better energy levels. I’m thinking about trying Redbarn Dry Cat Food soon just for variety, but I’m nervous since she’s doing so well on the canned recipes.
Tried Whole Paws after seeing it on Amazon and my cat showed declining interest over three weeks. She ate it initially but enthusiasm faded until barely touching it. Something about long-term palatability didn’t hold up despite decent ingredients on paper. Quality might be adequate but sustained appeal failed for my particular cat’s preferences. The Amazon association made me skeptical anyway.
Been using Kirkland Signature for nearly two years and honestly surprised by how well it performs. My cat maintains healthy weight and decent coat on it. Digestion works fine without issues. The bulk packaging from Costco means fewer shopping trips. Costs approximately $1.40 per pound which is incredibly affordable. My cat stays healthy and vet hasn’t raised concerns during regular checkups. Sometimes store brands from reputable retailers offer legitimate quality at better prices. The massive cost savings matter significantly for household budget.
Six months with Smalls and perspective has evolved. Initially seemed like luxury expense but health improvements feel worth it now. My cat’s coat quality genuinely improved compared to kibble. Digestion works better with less gas and better stool quality. Energy levels stay more consistent without kibble-induced fluctuations. The convenience of delivery saves time even if it costs more money. That said, this only works because our financial situation allows the expense.
If budget were tighter, quality kibble would still provide adequate nutrition at fraction of the cost. Fresh food offers real benefits but isn’t essential for every cat. For us, seeing daily health improvements justifies the monthly cost. She seems more satisfied after meals and maintains better hydration naturally. The subscription feels sustainable long-term given current finances.
Whether Smalls makes sense depends entirely on individual budget reality and how much you value fresh food advantages. Not judging anyone who chooses conventional feeding – cost is legitimately significant. For those who can afford it and want to try fresh approach, Smalls delivers quality product with noticeable results.
