I literally just received this in the mail 15 minutes ago. My cat hasn't had kibble in a couple of days, only wet food, so he was really excited; however, he is the pickiest eater in the world, so I was worried he wouldn't like this kibble. I have purchased many different types of food for him and he's turned his nose at most of them. Lots of money down the drain. But this kibble...when I pulled the unopened bag out of the box, he immediately started sniffing excitedly. I poured some out into his bowl, set the bowl down, and he immediately started eating it. This cat barely devours kibble this way except this one brand I used to buy for him that isn't all that healthy for him. He just finished a bag of Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Dry Cat Food, which he really would only eat if he was really hungry, and the kibble pieces were too small. He likes bigger kibble pieces which makes it easier for him to chew. I've noticed if the kibble are just tiny round pellets, he just swallows them without chewing. So this Solid Gold kibble is bigger and has a shape to each pellet that helps my cat to chew. I could hear him crunching away after I set the bowl down in front of him. I can honestly say I am thrilled that he loves this stuff, plus it's healthy for him and the price is perfect for a 4 lb. bag. I like that this is not filled with by-products and ingredients that I don't want him to ingest. I will absolutely be repurchasing!
Really great quality food and a great brand. Our cats loved it, but the kibble is shaped in little x's and little nubs of the x would break off as the cats ate and they wouldn't eat the little pieces. I ended up throwing out about one quarter of the food at the bottom of the bowl, which was just a waste of food and money. Fortunately there are several great choices within the Solid Gold brand, and we switched to Indigo Moon that is shaped in little saucer-shaped circles. The cats love it just as much, and there's no more food waste. Yes Solid Gold is a bit more expensive than the more mass market brands, but it's SO much better than crap like Science Diet (what a sham). Compare the ingredients and you'll see exactly what you're paying for, and it's all the better for your cat's overall health and well being. Small price to pay for the little fur balls who give us so much in return.
I was going through all kinds of special foods, clean food, wet, dry, home made, for my young boy whose system went totally out of whack after a vaccine. For five months I was adding betonite, grain free, enzymes, pro and prebiotics, no beef, only wild game, and just could not get him to have a normal poop. He would have powerful poops wherever he happened to be, cramps, and not able to get to the litter box. Always mud puddles. Not watery diarrhea. I could hear his tummy grumble when he'd sit next to me. Then I saw this food again at a holistic vet's office. I had used this food a few kitties ago and forgotten about it. I didn't want to go dry being he is a boy but with the cranberries, I thought I would give it a try. The change is remarkable. No more accidents, he is a happier guy, poop is firm, he is much more active. Both he and our new little girl love it.
The best food for cats who have lots of hairballs. We have a few cats who threw up alot with many different types of cat foods, most of those foods prescribed by the vet. We love this food as it is not smelly like most cat foods.
The cats eat it fine and did not fuss too much when we switched.
We added the Ziwi Peak grain free lamb wet food and its been great.
Our cats LOVE this cat food. When we got our cats a year ago, we tried several cat foods- our main concern was to feed them something from a reputable brand that used high quality ingredients. So we looked online for lists of such food (this brand was on there), and also tried the various foods that our "new cat owner" coupon book from petco had (also there). I should say our cats tried maybe 6 different brands of dry food, and they both just LOVE this stuff. They took to it right away. So much that one of our cats, who used to love wet food, just begs and begs for this kibble when we "treat" our cats with wet food. If we accidently buy a different brand, that cat will reluctantly eat the kibble, but our other cat will resort to begging and stealing food from our plates/mouths, never touching the food. Of course, as soon as we swap back to this, they go for it and the begging stops.
While our default is this formula, our cats also really like the other dry food from this brand- they just seem most excited about this one.
While this is minor, I do like that the kibble is shaped like pluses- it seems to roll away a lot less than the round stuff, making it less likely to find stray kibble on teh floor (or the cats just gobble it up because they like it so much).
Be aware, when it arrives put the box in a high up place- our cats can smell it and if left on the floor for the day while we are at work, we come home with the amazon box destroyed, a hole in the bag, and kibble all over. (Never did that with any other kibble).
Totally worth the price. Your cats will love you.

We have have many, many cats over the years. And with that, purchased many different types of dry cat food. Our current fur person loves this and he is full of energy, his coat is so shiny and his eyes are bright. Another company did make a lamb and rice formula, and quit years ago. We are so glad we found this brand and especially this product.
I was at a loss what to feed one of my four cats. She would eat kibble, walk away from the dish and several times a day, throw it all back up. Incidentally, I also feed them wet canned food morning and night. This brand really seems to work for her. I recommend it, especially for cats which thow up a lot.
Good ingredients, looks good, smells good - really nothing to not like, but it only matters if your cat will eat it. The cat at my house seems to like it, as he often skips wet food for this and I hear him crunching away late at night. Been eating it for a couple of years now, and he looks great!
My cats love it! lol I have 2, they are now 9 months I've had them since they were 2 months and 3 months. One boy and one girl. They get full off this. Some brands as I'm sure if you buy these kinds know, your cats don't get full. They love the taste, right away, and they both loved the little shapes. Something about X's, it was easier for them to eat. The bag lasts about a month, each cat getting 1/2 a cup scoop in morning and night. they have beautiful coats and they are very active cats. I can tell you this food and feeding them Greatness helps a cat have 9 lives. All the best Laura.
I always like to give my cats and hedgehogs variety of foods to keep them happy and going strong. Solid Gold is one food that will never leave that mix. My kitties and hoglets happily gobble it up and have shiny fur and healthy skin. Would highly recommend for hedgehogs as it contains quality ingredients and has a good amount nof protein and fat for heavy runners. Always remember to give hedgehogs a mix of various cat foods. Five star product!!!
