Smell & Appearance:
When I opened this food, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the smell (smelled like tuna and prawns, very natural smell), and the way the food looked. The tuna looked like it came right out of a human-quality can of tuna and the prawns were whole and a good color. The juice was clear and runny, (that would be the vegetable oil and water).
I'm sure if you feed your cat foods that have by-products in them, they will have a certain, not as fresh smell to them. If you think this food smells bad...You need to rethink what you're feeding your animal. It smells just like tuna and prawns should naturally smell if canned. (I was even tempted to taste it...)
Taste & Popularity:
I have one senior cat, 7 years, who loves this food. I have an older adult who has suffered weight and appetite lose who will devour this food, (she's 5). I have an older kitten of 10 months who loves this food, and another young adult who's 1 year who loves it too.
Digestive Factors:
In regards to how this food relates to bowl movements, (sorry guys, but is important to know), I haven't noticed an unpleasant or significant difference.
My cats also have no gas and not been bloated after eating this food either.
Overall:
I have to REALLY disagree with the person who said this food is nasty. It is anything BUT nasty. I suppose once you have fed and been around highly-processed and minced canned cat foods, you compare them all to that.
This food has no colorings or by-products in it, however it does have preservatives and sugar in it, (it is a canned food).
I really think, that for the price and availability, this food is nice as a supplement to dry diets. You can find it at Walmart for about {BestCustomerReview}.90 a can/dome. I personally am trying to add wet, meat and protein based foods to my cats' diets, so this will work well for now. My only alternative to feeding this food to them would be to cook something for them myself.
I adopted two very undernurished kittens from the Humane Society, whose on-staff vet said that AvoDerm dry and canned food is the best on the market for cats. When I took the kittens for their vet checkup 6 months later, my own vet also agreed that this is the best food available and was so pleased with the health of the kittens. My older cats have also seen a huge improvement in their coats -- much more silky and shiny, shedding is reduced and their weight is easily maintained on this food. I recommend trying this food if you have finicky cats or they have health problems.
My cats absolutely LOVE all the Avoderm Select Cuts (chunky-style) flavors AND all the flavors of this pate-style food. The seafood flavors seem to be the most popular among the cats, but many vets recommend avoiding too much seafood for male cats due to the urine crystals it can cause. I started feeding the beef and chicken exclusively and they eat every last drop.
Bottom line: It costs more than your average food, but it's worth every penny (buying it by the case can give you a pretty good discount from most vendors). If you consider that it keeps them healthier, which can save you from expensive vet bills in the long run, then it's worth it. Plus, think of the time you'll save not having to clean up after their shedding! Also, I've noticed that this brand does not result in the runny, smelly poo that some other, cheaper brands do. Try this food out on your cats -- you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Cat really enjoyed this " Feast". After I went to the store to check on pricing, I can understand why the name "Fancy Feast"If the cat would take me to a Steak restaurant, wanted to feed me that for a month, I would purr like she did!!! Good product, Good introductory price, Thank You for the opportunity.
I ordered this food a few weeks ago for my 2 year old cat, Jade. I have always added wet food to her dry kibble, but at almost for a 5.5 ounce can, it wasn't very cost-effective. So I ordered the Eagle Pack Holistic Select variety pack (13 ounce cans), and Jade LOVES it. I would recommend this food to any/every cat owner, it's a good high quality product.
