I adopted a very sweet two year old female cat about a week ago and, of course, researched endlessly about what kinds of wet food to give to her. My rescue generally feeds the cats Wellness so I tried that. My cat turned her nose at the stuff. So I researched and found out about Before Grain. The second I put the food down - my cat runs to the stuff. I say my cat gave the food a full five stars (paws). ;)

We've just started transitioning our cats to raw food and were mixing small amounts of raw meat with their usual canned Friskees that they used to get twice a day in addtion to the 24/7 kibble buffet (I know, I know, mea culpa, I am so ashamed, etc.). Unfortunately the 3 youngest of our 9 cats never really ate the canned food to begin with and they certainly weren't going to touch it with raw meat mixed in. Being a concerned if not obsessed cat mommy, I panicked after a few days of them eating almost nothing and hunted down a store locally that sold natural pet foods. I chose the BG brand because it says "96% [meat]" in bold letters right on the label, and bought a case of assorted flavors. To my incredulous joy and relief the three hold-outs gobbled it right down, and since then they are slowly getting with the raw food program, though they are still lagging behind the other cats. My cats have always eaten the chunkier flavors of Friskees, so the smooth blended texture of BG is not ideal, especially when one of the points of the raw diet is getting them to chew their food, but they like it and it's good for them so I'm not complaining. They absolutely love the tuna and salmon flavors so I am ordering cases of that today (pet store is far away with inconvenient hours).

My cat likes this food, I have tried other brands of canned food from stores, some of the name brands, he does not like them, but this he does, the first time I put it out for him he ate half of his serving right away, which for him is not normal, that being said, the chicken formula is definatly a keeper in this household!!

My 15 year old cat normally eats homemade food (ground raw chicken breasts, liver and vitamin powder) and sometimes I need canned food (out of town, too busy, holiday). This is the closest I have found to my homemade food and she loves it! Has the nutritional value I want and the taste that she wants so it's a win-win. It's a little bit more than I want to spend but well worth it.

Our male cat has IBS and cannot eat anything with grains or brown rice. He also likes food that is "pasty" or easy to lick/sip. He is crazy for the Salmon and I'm sure that he would love to eat it everyday. As of now, we rotate it every 3 days for some variety.

My miniature Poodle loved it...she licked her bowl clean. I've been feeding her the original Merrick dry and canned dog foods and decided I would give the Before Grain a try since it's ingredients are just meat and water. Well, I bought the cat cans because they are smaller and wont go to waste. (The ingredients are the same as in the larger dog cans, just in a more convienient size). I added it to my dog's dry kibble and she gobbled it up so fast. I've only tried the chicken and turkey so far, the aromas are yummee. Merrick is a company I trust.

I use this amazing product when one of our more finicky cats decides he doesn't want to eat. All I have to do is pop open the can, and he's changed his mind! Besides, it looks good enough for me to eat (although I haven't taken that step yet)! Smells good, must taste wonderful because I have not had one cat refuse it, and is a good supplement to regular diets - like giving them a prized, nutritional treat!

Sorry to say, all 4 cats would not eat it.
Just didn't smell good and fresh, like Newmans or a good quality free-range turkey product.

i like it tasted it, never give anything that i do not try first.to see if they are right in turning it down.my siamese little girl loves it plain or mixed with a little cooked peas or beans,or rice.mixed with water in can is what cats need. my older siamese are as little picky on this, they are used to kibble,but we are working things out. then again, it is hard to impress lotus blossoms(siamese)any way.my older male is out of sorts lately, so he is eating this ,but is not happy right now. BUT GOOD STUFF.

I use this to mix with my dogs' food. I prefer no grain or veggies in the added meat and this food is tasty (no leftovers) with the smell and nourishment they need. I don't have a cat, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to feed this brand. The quality is very consistant and worth buying for your pet.
