Seems like a good product; but…
I’ve been feeding my cats Smalls for about 6 months. I like the food because it’s been highly recommend by independent researchers; but I’m not sure about some of the ingredients, such as “canola” oil; and green beans as a filler seems a little odd for cat food. My cats aren’t really crazy about it… they are female litter mates, about 2 years old, and I’ve always fed them highly rated cat food. One is a hungry kitty who will usually eat whatever I feed her. The other is a little on the picky side, and will often leave her bowl unfinished. The chicken (“Bird”) flavor seems appealing, and they both eat it; but I think “picky kitty” is sensitive to chicken based cat foods… her chin breaks out when I feed her anything with chicken as the main ingredient… from my informal research, this seems to be a common allergic condition for some cats. I’ve tried “Other Bird” (turkey)… no skin problems for picky kitty, but neither cat seems to particularly enjoy it… occasionally they’ve both left it unfinished. They both seem to like the fish-based products better. One thing that I don’t like is the packaging… getting it open and dishing it out is messy, due to the flimsy shrink-wrapped plastic bag. I can never get it all out, and I hate to waste anything, so I let the dog lick it clean. I would like to see this changed to a semi-rigid plastic shell, with a smooth, rounded shape to make it easier to spoon out the product. Also, a single serving size would be so much more convenient… currently, I divide the package between my two kitties to avoid having to store leftovers. If I only had one cat, this would really be a problem… who wants to have half a package of smelly cat food in the fridge?
