My cats really enjoy this food and the great thing is that the nutritional value is ideal. I am extremely picky about pet food. They stay much healthier when fed a proper diet. Cats don't do well with grain. Cats are obligatory carnivores, which means they need meat, not corn. When did you ever see a cat hunting for corn in the corn field? If a cat is in the corn field, she is only interested in the meat products often found there. The manufacturer is a solid reliable company.

A fed cat is a happy cat.  I wish there were more fish free and veggie free options out there.

After trying tons of other dry foods, I finally found something my cat loves! I give my cat a half a can of wet food morning and evening, but I like to let him have dry food to supplement his diet when he's having a busy day. He's an indoor/outdoor cat (we live on a farm, and I let him roam during daylight hours). When he comes home from playing in the afternoon, he is sometimes famished and needs a snack before dinner. He started turning up his nose at the high-quality grain free I was feeding him (don't know what happened, maybe a formula change). I knew he was hungry, because he was doing that silent cry (his way of saying please feed me now!), and curling around my legs, but he wouldn't touch the dry stuff in the bowl. I then started looking for an alternative, and nothing was doing it for him, until BINGO! Farmina! He attacks this food (and I forgot to put it back in the cupboard the other day and he attacked the bag!)

Good, solid-quality dry cat food. Not my cat's favorite (meow mix) but they eat it.

This is a grain free recipe dry cat food which I like.  My cat's previous owner fed this to the cat - so I was following through with that.
I do free feed this dry cat food and the cat does not over eat.

This is the best of the *affordable* premium dry Cat Foods.  Palatable, and most importantly, does not contain grains not well digested or beneficial to the Obligate Carnivore.

When we adopted a family of abandoned cats 4 years ago we tried to help make up for their abuse by treating them like special members of the household, and they have returned our love by being warm, friendly and non-destructive. We started by feeding them whatever was most expensive and worrying when they didn't eat it. Through much research and expert advice we learned that it was more important that a get an adequate amount of nutrition and liquids, even from "cheap" foods, as opposed to picking at something that may have ingredients that we think are "better" for the cat. Remember that cats are scavengers, opportunistic feeders that will eat whatever food is easiest to find that will satisfy their nutritional needs, and the majority of cats live outdoors and fend for themselves. While there is no disputing that special expensive foods could provide certain nutrition benefits for a cat, the jury is out whether they are necessary.

Toward that end we researched the best combination of what would be healthy and nutritious for our cats with what they would actually eat proper quantities of. The right balance seemed to us to be foods that they would learn to eat proper quantities on their own without the need for their humans to ration it or monitor their feeding times. There is a lot of consensus that the Kirkland brand of dry cat food sold by Costco is a good blend of nutrition and taste. We started using it early on and our cats at almost 4 are at the perfect weight and body tone with smooth soft fur, lots of energy and wonderful personalities.

Also through a lot of research we learned that when it comes to canned foods, some of those tiny cans with the fancy names can actually be harmful to cats. We found a brand that is very moist and feed them a small portion a few times a day to help keep their mouths and digestive tracts moist in our hot, dry climate. They are pickier about the brand and "flavor" of canned food than they are with dry foods.
For that reason we have occasionally experimented with some of the more expensive brands of dry cat food and in every instance our cats tell us they can't tell the difference ... they eat exactly as much and the results as far as their well-being are the same.

Hill's Science Diet is a respected brand and we have nothing negative to say about it. If you can afford it, and your cats like the taste, then by all means buy what feels good to you. For us, our cats maintain a perfect weight with a diet of Kirkland cat food, whose ingredients are similar to Hills if not a bit better, healthy exercise and an upbringing that has taught them to moderate their own food consumption 24/7. And the savings of Kirkland vs Hills is significant.

This is one of the best dry cat foods on the market. We use it as a supplement to the canned Wellness. Both are highly recommended by our veterinarian. We are so happy to have found the Wellness cans here as well as the manageable sizes of Hill's Science. The cat loves this dry mix so much, and we know she's getting the best.

One of the most recommended and healthy dry foods a cat can eat. Both of mine like it and eat it with relish. One preferring it over
other dry foods offered. I have reordered this item multiple times and neither has tired of it yet. I only wish it came in a formula for
cats that need a diet like Royal Canin does.

I've actually only given my cats Blue Buffalo dry food for the three years I've had them.  I don't have anything to compare it to but it certainly hasn't made them sick or given them any other problems.

After going nuts looking up "good" cat foods a few months ago, I've come to the conclusion that nothing out there is 100% good. I'm not feeding my cat a raw diet anytime soon. So I compromise and try to get more of the good and less of the bad.  The first ingredient is deboned chicken, so that's good enough for me.

With it's raw coating and grain free ingredients this is one of the best dry foods out there. Dry food is not a good staple for cat because they would not get any dry food in nature. But this is one of the best for snacks.

My cats devoured this food!  They loved it, and I was happy to feed it to them since it is the healthier option.  I really like that this food is grain-free and healthier for my cats. The food contains no grains, no soy, no white potatoes, no artificial flavors, and no preservatives! This food also contains a probiotic to promote digestive health.
