High Protein Dry Cat Food, Freeze-Dried Diet with 98% Meat, Organs & Seafood, No Peas, Grains, or Artificial Additives, Made in New Zealand, Lamb & King Salmon, 11oz

I feed this to my cats on an occasional basis because it is pricy. My cats do love it. The ingredients are good. I splurge a get a bag a couple of times a year and feed it as a “special meal” to both my cats. They get a treat meal.

I use this instead of dry food since one of my cats has IBD and can only eat certain proteins, but all of my cats absolutely love it. It’s high quality though also high priced - always glad to have another reliable and healthy option!

This stuff is really good. PROs: 1) Very high quality ingredients - zero fillers, 98% meat. 2) Extremely high processing standards (New Zealand - which has far higher standards than the U.S.). 3) Critters really dig it -- and now usually go on strike over their "regular" food, as you can see from the pic (Sigh). CONs: 1) The bags are 150% bigger than they need to be. The product settles to the bottom 1/2 to 1/3. Leaves too much air in there to oxidize. Why do this?? In fact, why not vacuum seal these suckers and get them shipped at half the cost? You could turn this into a small brick sized package. Anyway. 2) Insanely expensive. (But understandable given ingredients, quality, and shipping from NZ). They are available on Subscribe n Save.... but you save only about forty cents. Wicked expensive. (Sigh.) 3) This is possibly idiosyncratic -- our cats only eat it dry in the little weird pellet-ish form (like sawdust). When we add hot water to rehydrate to make 'normal' food texture, they respond with mild disinterest and it usually sits there all day with a only few nibbles taken out of the goo. Sot this perplexes me. Would that not be MUCH preferable? (I read somewhere that the zillions of little hairs on their tongues (for grooming) are very sensitive to textures and produce strong likes/dislikes...?) Having said that -- to be frank -- as long as they are drinking enough water (which these do), who cares? Less work for us AND... don't need to worry as much about spoilage throughout the day! So.... upon reflection... this is actually a "PRO" :-) Move to the other column. Win! Win!

My 2 cats loved the flavor. Unfortunately, both of them threw up within 10 minutes of eating this cat food. I won't even feed it to the ferals that I feed daily outside. Don't waste your money like I did.

They eat it most of the time. They ate the chicken and lamb for a while, but then they tired of it and now they prefer the salmon and lamb. One of these days I’ll try the beef, but I have a CKD kitty on prescription food so I’ll pass for now. My main complaint is how much the price has gone up! And then again after the tariff hit. It used to be around $35/bag and now it’s $42?? That’s insane. I have a subscription through their site which came out to $142.48 for 4 11 oz bags and I just saw here on Amazon my Subscribe & Save was about to charge me $164 for 4. F that! Fortunately I was able to cancel! Unfortunately we had to buy 2 emergency bags at the full price. Ridiculous. I’m going to find a less costly option. I’ve heard Open Farm is good. It’s $25/8 oz here on Amazon so Open Farms $3.13/oz vs Feline Natural $3.82/oz that’s basically a $7.50 difference. I’m going to try that brand. BTW with CKD cats, we were using this with Phos-Bind and her values stayed the same after a year, which is much better than elevating, but then she stopped eating it so we started Royal Canin canned renal support and she went from Stage 3 to Stage 2 in two months! I’d put off using the prescription food because I thought I knew best and I thought raw with Phos-Bind would be sufficient, but the blood work says different. I wish they would come up with a freeze dried raw version of renal food. It would probably cost several arms and legs though 😅. Having to keep her canned food away from the other cats is a chore living in a small apartment. Especially on days when she won’t eat in the bathroom and will only do so if I sit her with me. Enough about that.

This is my favorite freeze dried product for meals, but with the price point is high for a small size it’s better off as a topper to boost the nutrient value of something like Friskies or Fancy Feast. The pellets are small so as a topper they’re perfectly bite-sized. Also very easy to crush and mush in warm water or goat milk as a meal on its own. Feline Natural has an awesome blend of ingredients that provide a high protein content, and also recipes that don’t include fish. I like that they include NZ green lipped mussels for joint health. My cats LOVE mussels but I don’t like to buy whole freeze dried mussels since they’re really expensive so to include them in these recipes is a great bonus. The list of ingredients isn’t long and everything is recognizable. Smells like meat and everything that a cat’s proper meal should smell like. It isn’t over-powering or off-putting, but it isn’t appealing to humans of course. Lol. I feel confident when I feed this to my 3 cats that they’re getting a great, nutrient-rich meal whether I feed it alone or as a topper. My female cat, Mia, who is the most sensitive, never has any digestive issues after consuming FN. On top of that, all 3 of my cats LOVE every recipe FN has to offer. I’ve never had a single problem with them eating any of the recipes. Five stars. Love it. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive but it’s understandable as to why it is. (Occasionally our local independent pet store has free 1oz samples so I like to go there and check!)

I wish I'd bought these sooner but price put me off, however, since my cat has been unwell and poor appetite, thought I'd try these, I sprinkle approx 3gr over her regular food 3 times a day and she eats the lot, I'm so surprised as she even stopped eating her tube treats ... 31/10 ... Mitzi hasn't grown tired of these and at 10gr p/day, they last a month I'll continue to buy these no matter the cost as long as my cat stays healthy

Very good quality product, and good to sprinkle on top of their normal food. Frequently order this and mix with the salmon variety. Highly recommended.

Mes chats aiment beaucoup.

よく食べるし、うちの子は軟便のときはウンチも固くなる。 ふやかさずにそのままでも、粉々にしてふりかけにもできる
