almo nature HQS Complete CAT Wet Cat Food Chicken Recipe with Cheese in Gravy - Grain-Free Cat Food Canned, 2.47 oz (Pack of 12)

my cats LOVE almo nature is great quality

"Owned by Animals", Italian gourmet pet food, what is not to love?

My ten year old cat has a lot of trouble eating because of his bad gums now and we use this to keep his weight up. Definitely recommend it, even though its a little more expensive.

Our two ragdolls turn there noses up at everything else besides the Chicken with Cheese in Gravy. It must be the cheese because we have other Almo Nature and the cheese is the bees knees. I'll ask the cat, "meow, meow, meow" Translation: "OMFG, its so GOOD!"

Food is great, but this used to be a 24 count, now a 12 count. Watch out if you just reorder, half as much product same cost. Very disappointing.

I have a senior cat with asthma and stomach issues so I try to feed her a grain free diet. This seems to have been helping her with both issues. However, she grows tired of the same food very easily and sometimes I can't get her to eat anything. However, she ALWAYS will eat this. Whenever I'm at my wits end trying to get her to eat and I give her some of this she licks her bowl completely clean. I would highly recommend for a sensitive cat or even just a picky cat!

Edit: Starting sometime in end of summer 2023 all the chicken flavors started coming in a gray gravy, completely different food, used to be small soft pieces of chicken in a whitish gravy my cat loved, the last past few months chicken doesn't look same and gravy is different grayish my cat smells it and walks away I continued ordering for a few months unfortunately that's not same food my cat refuses to eat. My 2 years old cat hates wet food,once in a while he is willing to have a bit of something but only if it's a fish ugh... I tried all the brands that available out there and I've been throwing out tons of wet food. A few months ago friend of mine who lives in Europe messaged me about almo nature I looked for it in all the pet shops in my neighborhood and found it in only one.. My cat loves it! His favorite is chicken with green beans, chicken with duck and chicken with turkey and he is a cat that never touched any wet food but fish he also loves mackerel with sweet potatoes and salmon with apple, I can't speak about tuna because I don't give him tuna he eats fish a lot so at least I'm trying to avoid tuna. I love that almo nature adds veggies, besides that chicken is really soft and gravy smells good (my cat likes only in gravy), I checked ingredients and it's a really good food. The only minus there's little fat in it, small can is only about 60 calories so if you looking for lots of calories in small can almo nature is definitely not for you!

TL/DR: Great but VERY expensive cat food. Supply issues make it a hard pass if your cat isn't already addicted. Also be aware that chicken and cheese both tend to rate extremely high as allergens to cats (my vet was perplexed they even made this combo), so if your cat has food sensitivites, that is a reason for a hard pass on this particular flavor. The details: My cats are very picky. We were doing pretty well with Weruva, until Weruva decided to change the forumulation (and even texture) of the various foods with zero warning on the labels. Cats went from happily eating it to barely being willing to SNIFF it. They literally preferred to vomit from an empty belly. And to be honest, I couldn't blame them. I wound up tossing a fortune in food because I'd ordered cases not knowing of the change. Soooooo, I tried Almo Nature. Cats decided that they long term only liked the Chicken and Cheese flavor (one also ate the Salmon and Apple flavor for a while but is indifferent now), so it's been an exclusive food. I have NOT been happy with the teensy cans and their very premium price, but when the other option is throwing away bigger cans of food that barely get eaten, there IS no other option. The problem is that for the past several months it keeps going out of stock EVERYWHERE, or is only available from sellers charging insane markups on what are already ridiculously high prices for the amount of food you get. I got an email one morning from an online pet food store (not sure if I can name names) that this food was finally back in stock after WEEKS. I immediately placed an order...and somehow it was completely sold out again and they couldn't honor the order. My latest order on Amazon was also shorted, although I at least was able to get ONE case. I have geriatric cats (16 and 17 years old) with delicate tummies. Randomly swapping out their food is even worse for them than usual; you're always supposed to gradually introduce new foods to avoid stomach upsets. And I am not always succeeding in keeping it in stock, because the tiny cans don't go far, and I'm lucky if I can get delivery of even a partial order lately. Unless and until Almo gets their inventory issues under control, I wouldn't risk introducing your cat to the Almo Complete Chicken and Cheese, or the Salmon and Apple (which also keeps going out of stock). Sure, I don't want or need the competition, but more importantly, I don't want you in my shoes. If your cat decides the food is IT for them, you are going to have perpetual supply issues - you (and your kitties) are going to be very unhappy campers.
