    We’ve been testing creamy treats for months, and Simply Puree cat treats finally became the favorite. No weird after-smell, no sticky residue, just an easy squeeze treat that both cats actually finish. I tried the Wild Eats Simply Puree variety pack since I wanted to see if flavor rotation mattered, and yesmy cats definitely show more excitement when they don’t get the same one daily. I even add a spoonful to Kirkland Signature dry food on slow eating days.

    My senior cat has been eating The Honest Kitchen Prowl dehydrated cat food for about a month. He’s really enjoying it! I noticed better digestion and a healthier coat compared to regular dry kibble. I mix in The Honest Kitchen MMMIXERS chicken & duck cat food topper for variety. The human-grade dehydrated formula seems much cleaner than Nature’s Domain or Pure Cravings. I buy from the Honest Kitchen Canada store online or Petco when they have samples. Carb content is lower than standard dry foods, which I think helps with his weight and energy levels.

    My indoor cat has been eating Health Extension grain-free dry cat food, specifically the turkey & salmon recipe. Ingredients in Health Extension cat food seem really digestible, and my cat’s tummy has been happier fewer soft stools. I mix in Holistic Health Extension wet cat food for variety, like the beef or turkey recipes. Amazon and Petco are convenient, sometimes with coupons. Price is higher than Nutra Nuggets, but my cat’s energy, coat shine, and digestion improvements make it worth it. For sensitive stomach cats, Health Extension seems like a solid premium option.

    I’ve been feeding the Lotus Venison Stew grain-free canned cat food to my senior cat, and it’s one of the few wet foods she’ll eat every time. The texture looks like real meat instead of a mushy paste. I was curious about the Lotus raw cat food too, but it’s hard to find locally. I might try ordering it online. For me, the peace of mind that it’s made in a human-grade facility is huge. Definitely feels like a better option than Nature’s Domain or Pure Cravings.

    Formula variety available:

    Grain-free varieties: Multiple proteins
    Limited ingredient: Simplified recipes
    Super Premium: Higher protein options
    Wet food options: Multiple textures
    Different proteins: Variety available

    Good selection for celebrity brand. Adequate variety without overwhelming. I use grain free chicken primarily with occasional limited ingredient rotation.

    COST COMPARISON:

    Dr. Marty: $6-8 per day = $180-240 monthly
    Stella & Chewy freeze-dried: $4-5 per day = $120-150 monthly
    Primal freeze-dried: $3.50-4.50 per day = $105-135 monthly
    Premium kibble: $1.50-2.50 per day = $45-75 monthly
    Quality wet food: $2.50-3.50 per day = $75-105 monthly

    Dr. Marty is significantly more expensive than comparable freeze-dried brands and dramatically higher than conventional quality foods. The pricing seems inflated beyond what ingredients and preparation justify. Other freeze-dried options provide similar nutrition at notably lower cost.

    COST BREAKDOWN: 💰

    Blue Wilderness: $2.80-$3.40 per pound (dry)
    Blue Freedom: $2.50-$3.00 per pound
    Blue Basics: $2.70-$3.20 per pound
    Wet food: $1.80-$2.50 per 3oz can

    Mid-to-upper premium range. More expensive than grocery brands but cheaper than ultra-premium like Orijen. Great value for quality. My cat eats appropriate portions and stays satisfied. Good balance of quality and affordability. 💚🐾
