My cats absolutely love this cat food! You can really see the difference in quality compared to regular brands—the food looks like real meat and fish, not processed mush. Even my pickier cats, who usually sniff around before eating, dig right in the moment I put this down.I also like that the ingredient list is simple and straightforward, so I know exactly what they’re getting. No fillers, just wholesome food that keeps them happy and satisfied. It’s become a regular part of our feeding routine, and I feel good knowing I’m giving them something healthy.Highly recommend for anyone with cats who deserve a little upgrade in their meals!

Absolutely the BEST CAT FOOD! My cats are obsessed. They have been eating both seafood flavors for 2.5 years and they never seem to get tired of it. They aren’t big meat lover fans, so we stuck to the seafood. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend. Only downside is that it’s very pricy.REAL whole baby shrimp and thick chunks of fish. Losts of juice so they get moisture. It keeps them looking so healthy and their coat is so shiny.

My eldest cats (age 4) are horribly picky. Not just your regular, to be expected cat pickiness. These girls will not touch about 70% of wet foods on the market, and we have tried a ton of them. The ones they will eat, is often just to trick me into a false sense of relief, as they won't eat it a second time. This is usually after I buy a 24 pack in my foolish happiness that they are eating. Luckily I have 8 more cats that I take care of who are not so difficult; some are my friendly ferals in my yard).Signature Select shreds is the holy grail. They eat it rapturously each and every time. (They don't care for the other styles). It has good ingredients and even looks hi-qual; doesn't stink and doesn't splatter out when I open the can.Unfortunately, this joy comes at a high price: $3.50 a 5 oz can at full price. I only buy it when it's a good Subscribe n Save deal, like $28 for 12 x 5 oz cans, making it $2.35 a can. Even that is a lot for me, considering I go through 5 or 6 cans a day, supplemented with dry food. I'm not down to spend $90/week on wet cat food, so my diva darlings eat it when we get it, and the others get a little scoop here n there.Hey, the squeaky wheel gets the most oil!

I don't know what I'll do. My ferret will burn down my house if I ever run out of these to feed him.Great food, vet approved for ferret.Keeps the weight on (if you have ferrets, you know how difficult this can be).Only thing I wish Core would do is sell the beef version without chicken shreds, as he constantly picks them out.Also, if you have a very picky animal like I do, just know that the pouches under the same brand and flavor (beef chunks with chicken) have a slightly different recipe than what comes in the can. He knows the difference and won't eat the pouch variety.

Had finally found a food my cat liked. Can’t remember exactly where it was manufactured. South America or Thailand? It’s stamped on the box. Leaning towards Thailand. Should that matter?Anyway, was impressed by how tightly the package of 12 was. Needed scissors to cut through sealant to remove cans. When I had, discovered at least six were dented, but that should not affect contents, I thought, based on my cat’s response. He loved it. But the pattern continued with the next delivery. This could only happen if the cans were already dented when packed.But the second delivery was significant different from first. I opened a can after several others and discovered the proportions of meat and juices was off. The formula should have been thick and require some stirring (for me, at least) to ensure the thick and rich gravy, which he loved so much, and meat blended well.Instead this formula was so watery you couldn’t even refer to it gravy. This was a liquid. Ok. So there’s more than the other this time. So I scrapped my concern and scooped the usual amount into the bowl. The liquid had drained from the meat and formed a halo around the meat. That’s odd.Buster approached it cautiously before he walked away. Next morning same. Food untouched. When I finally woke up, decided to look closer look. Took a sniff. The odor was rancid and I pulled away. He didn’t touch it because it was contaminated. That’s when I should have called Amazon to report it, but delayed due to other circumstances. In fact, this should be reported to the FDA, or whichever agency is responsible for contamination of animal food products.There are two issues here:First, who ensures food manufactured outside the U.S. is safe to consume before distribution?Second, who is the liaison between manufacturer and distributor? Who inspects product before it’s shipped?There is so much more we can learn. To know when it’s safe to approach and when it’s not would be invaluable. To trust our instincts and senses as the experts do. And for Amazon, to recognize the scale of importance to consumers be communicated.

5 stars from my cats—they refuse to eat anything else! I wish there were lower prices or discounts for long-time customers like me, but still 5 stars

I honestly have tried almost every brand of canned cat food for one of my 2 cats who is very picky. This and Earthborn Holistic Harbor Harvest are the only 2 foods he will eat.

Along with Wellness "gravies" I continue to buy Wellness Signature skip jack tuna and wild salmon because of the quality ingredients, especially the wild salmon. Although marked "flaked", it is mostly liquid with scarcely any solid pieces. My cats are not impressed. The Signature chicken and wild salmon is marked "chunky", and this food has very large pieces more suited for a dog. My cats are typical in that they will refuse all "pates". I question why all the cat food companies push "pates" when in fact they are not popular with their clients.
