Everwhere I look you and other sites talk about the cat food thats never that good for cats. Unless it so exspensive. Why do you consentrate on someone bringing a quality cat food at a affordable price. All the name high cost brand say they have best for cats inmind but this must be only for rich people, make a good cat food at a good price and reap your rewards not by money but by alot more healthy cats in the world!!!!!

I gave my cat this food last night, and my dog also stole some from him and started eating it. They both started throwing up blood, my dog is fine now, my cat didn’t make it, he threw up blood non-stop and started seizing. I woke up and he was gone.

This used to be a 5 star product. It was out cats favorite in all 4 varieties. It has been temporarily out of production since July of 2022. It’s not the first time. It’s the 3rd time. After more than 8 months I was elated when Chewy was given a restocking date and a call to Purina confirmed it was back in production. It appeared on Amazon Via brand new 3rd party sellers asking 2 to 3 times the average price plus shipping as well. $52 to $80 for a 24 pack of single flavor or variety. Purina keeps stocking these new 3rd party dealers with fresh new product ( I bought one & checked the dates good until 4/2024). Chewy has received no stock only pushed out dates. The same with Walmart, PetSmart and other partners. I feel like I’m getting robbed if I do pay $3 per can and like I am letting our cats down if I don’t. After 63 years, I will be looking for a new cat food company. I cannot trust Purina was of doing business. I hope they improve. We all deserve better and so do their employees as well.
