Terrible company. They sign you up for a monthly subscription without your knowledge and then when you asked for a refund of $150, they refuse. I played with them as a 21 year-old taking care of three animals and living on my own with no help that I needed the money for my rent and they also refused. I was hoping to continue to use this company for cheaper and healthy food for my cats but instead got scammed on my money I didn’t have

I am so sorry to hear about the position this has put you in. We never want that process to feel this way or to put a customer in financial distress. Because Smalls is a subscription-based service, the system is designed to automatically send a full-sized box two weeks after the Sampler. We try to make this clear at checkout and in our "Heads Up" emails, but we recognize that if a customer misses those notifications, the charge feels unauthorized and sudden. Our food is packed with dry ice and scheduled with specific shipping partners to ensure it stays frozen during transit. Because of this logistics chain, we have a cutoff of 8 PM EST on the Thursday before an order ships. Once that deadline passes, the order is sent to our warehouse, and we are physically unable to stop the shipment or refund the perishable contents. Again, we sincerely apologize for any disappointment. However, if further assistance is required, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.

My cat has a mushy face and his eyes teared all the time. He was also getting more and more withdrawn and just didn’t seem happy. He’s only 2 1/2. So I decided to try Smalls. Got my sample and went cold turkey. He took to it right away. Loves it. It has changed his whole demeanor. No more teary eyes. Nice and bright and alert. More energy and more affectionate. He’s so much better. Vast improvement. Smalls gave us back our kitty-boy. Tjank you!!

This is such a touching story! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It’s incredible that your boy is already feeling like a brand-new cat. It is quite common for cats—especially those with shorter snouts—to experience chronic eye tearing as a reaction to systemic inflammation or food sensitivities caused by the fillers and dyes in traditional kibble and cans. Seeing that clear up, along with his mood and energy levels, is the best evidence that his body is finally thriving 😸

I think the products are great and so healthy for cats. I love Smalls and hope to be a lifelong customer. But I wish the prices could be a little cheaper and maybe the website a little easier to navigate, but I do appreciate how convenien it is to edit and reschedule orders. Overall I'm a very satisfied customer and my cat is too. Her fur is silky smooth and her litter is not stinky. Thank you Smalls.

It is great to know, however, that the flexibility to edit and reschedule your orders has been a convenient feature for you. We are honored that you want to be a lifelong customer.

My cat Jax loves Smalls, enjoys the free star treats as well. He is a very happy cat and since I have been feeding him Smalls he has a lot more energy and has lost a little weight. He is nine and act just like a kitten again.
Response from SmallsDec 24, 2025
It sounds like Jax is having a total "fountain of youth" moment! We are so happy to hear that he’s acting like a kitten again at nine years old. Losing those extra pounds and gaining a surge of energy is the perfect combination. When cats get high-quality protein without the unnecessary fillers, their metabolism often levels out, and they start feeling that natural urge to play and zoom around again! It’s also great to hear he’s a fan of the treats—they’re definitely a favorite around here too. Thank you for sharing Jax's success story with us. There is nothing better than a happy, healthy senior cat who still has his "kitten spark!" 😸

Cats love it. There hasnt been any variety they dislike. Reasonable price and super high quality
Response from SmallsDec 24, 2025
That is exactly what we love to hear! Finding a brand where your cats enjoy every single variety is a huge win—it makes mealtime so much easier when you don't have to guess what they'll be in the mood for. We take great pride in keeping our quality high while ensuring the price remains reasonable for fresh, human-grade ingredients. It's wonderful to know that both you and your cats are happy with the value and the taste 😸

I've been feeding my cat Smalls for a little over a year now and I feel like they've replaced my cat! As a 7yo cat who was deemed an anxious lazy & antisocial cat, this food has let him relive his youth! he runs up and down the house and everywhere in between. He comes up to greet guests. I can tell his tiny lion mind is firing. WHO IS THIS CAT?! my favorite part is that his waste odors are almost nothing! no more stinky poops that linger all day. his urine isn't pungent at all! It obviously is still cat pee but it's not nostril burning anymore. convenient delivery right to my home (or wherever I need it to go that month) OH and I get to act like a witch every delivery because I get to dissolve the dry ice in a pot and make it "boil" over!!

This review is magical! We’ll gladly take the credit for being "witches" if it means your kitty gets to relive his youth ✨ It is truly incredible how a change in diet can shift a cat's entire personality. When they aren't weighed down by fillers and heavy processing, that "anxious and lazy" behavior often transforms into the playful, social energy you're seeing now. Hearing that his mind is firing and he's greeting guests is just the best news ever. And you aren't imagining things with the litter box—since our food is so digestible, their bodies use almost everything they eat, which means much less (and much less stinky) waste. We’re glad your nostrils are getting a break 😸
