24 x 85gm Optimal Care Chicken Hills Science Diet Adult Wet Cat Food by Budget Pet Products

It's so odd to me, seeing so many 5 star reviews on this canned kitten food. I foster neonatal kittens, and have never had good luck with this food. My adult cats and my Am Staff, who typically go to extreme, sneaky lengths to steal foster kitten foods, won't even touch this. I'm assuming it's a cheaper canned kitten food, because it's donated to our Humane Society a lot. It's one that they typically give out to fosters when they are low on donations. Everyone knows that the kittens don't eat it well. I can get about half of my fosters, at most, to eat it if I mix it with warm kitten formula. Plain, they will rarely eat it. The adults cats in my home and my garbage disposal of a dog don't even want anything to do with it. That really makes me wonder about quality.

Another place to source

Very convenient. The same food as other places so it ensures continuity in feeding my cat daily. They can be very reluctant to eat anything outside of their usual routine. This is what he eats and his recent visit to the vet he weighed in to the gram, the same as last year. Perfect health

Best Food for our cays

We rescued 2 kittens when they were barely 8 weeks old, now they are 2 1/2 and one has had severe constipation from the other dry food we gave him. Was told could only give him wet food from this point on. Our other fur boy LOVES his chows. So researched, and bought a small bag to see how they would like and WOW they loved it. Best part is, our other one no longer needs meds to help with constipation and he acts like a kitten again! I don't let them graze all day, I give 1/2 cup for both and they get wet food as well.

Cat Loves the Flavor!

Kitty eats this like "the end" is in sight. Since we adopted her 90 days ago, she's put on almost 2 pounds of healthy weight. In the past I've usually bought a different brand, but since she came home from the shelter on this we thought it best not to change. She has slightly longer hair, would you recommend your hairball formula? I don't want to cause a problem with a switch and she has only had one hairball in the last 90 days. She's 1 1/2 years old and in good health. All that said, I find the velcro closure is a pain. You must use a scoop because if you pour it out, the food dust gets in the velcro and makes it worthless. I get that some people find zip-type bags difficult, but I feel it's easier to manage and keeps the food fresher. In any event, we'll keep ... MoreKitty eats this like "the end" is in sight.

Great food and great customer service

We have a 9 year old picky Tiger cat that we adopted from the MSPCA where he was fed Science Diet so we conuinued. Our cat loves it and he's very healthy. When he turned 8 we had to change to the food for older cats. I couldn't figure out what to do, so many choices and the pieces in the one I bought were bigger and he had a hard time eating them. The SD staff was great, they figured out which of the food would be best for his health and that was the same size as his other. Their customer service is wonderful - quick and helpful. Luckily he likes his new food- which leads me to believe the taste is consistent. He's a very picky Kitty.

The MSPCA told us Science Diet donates all their food for free and if you buy it there it's cheaper and they get to keep the proceeds. Unfortunately we moved so aren't close to the MSPCA anymore but if you live near one go there. I'm not sure if it's just in Massachusetts but worth checking in your state. The food is a little pricey but well worth a happy, healthy kitty and supporting local shelters. We ordered on a Saturday and received it that Monday - all with free shipping because of the amount of our order.

Hills Science Diet chicken recipe dry cat food.

My first two cats were healthy and happy eating Science Diet chicken dry food. Both died of old age (17 & 18 yrs. of age). My current cat, Marvin, loves Science Diet chicken (the same cat food my vet. sells) so I'm sure he will mature and live to a ripe old age also. Fleet Farm's prices are better than the vets. and customer service is always outstanding, even when I pick the cat food up outside in the yard. I always rely on Fleet Farm for cat supplies, and many other items, and shop there frequently for quality products, competitive pricing, and great customer service.

LOVE THIS

I have been feeding my girl this food since I adopted her and I'm so glad I do. She loves the taste and she's always ready for meal time! While it's a bit more expensive than other brands, there IS a notable difference in her coat and health. Currently, there are two cats in my apartment. My boyfriend feeds his cat Friskies and there is a huge difference between the cats. One huge difference is the smell of their #2's. Obviously, it's going to smell but when my boyfriend's cat uses the litter box I can smell it immediately! But when my cat goes I can't smell it at all! We use the same litter so it's not that. Maybe it's not the food either but everything is the same except that. I am trying to get my boyfriend's cat on Hills Science Diet because the right type of ... MoreI have been feeding my girl this food since I adopted her and I'm so glad I do.

We would buy if food nuggets were resized to larger size

We have 6 adult cats that love your cat food. They are receiving adult 1 to 6 care and are eating well. However, recently you changed the size of the food chunks to a smaller size. So small that our cats are no longer chewing. Instead they are swallowing the chunks whole. Apparently the small chunks are not being digested properly and causing each of the cats to often ***** a short while after eating. There were never any problems with the larger size pellets. Our vet has recommended that we change food and we are currently looking for comparable alternative to your brand. We have continued to use your brand for our animals for years with great results and regret having to go with something new.
