Review: منتج رائع واحببته قططي جدا ومفيد خالي من الحبوب
Review: This is the best food for a good price. Not just grain-free, but better quality meat sources as well. I did tons of research and have owned many cats my entire life. I also used to work at a locally owned exotic pet store, and we also sold top shelf cat a dog food, this was one of our brands. We only sold the best of the best. But that’s not where I’ve done my research, I have compared invented and their sources for pretty much all brands, many times I update the research to make sure the ingredients stay the same. Nowadays I use ChatGPT I know I know, ai is bad for the environment but it cuts my research time to just a fraction and gives me all the sources so I can check, as well as gives me side by side comparisons of all the brands I input into the ChatGPT app. There are better (albeit much more expensive) food options out there, but if you want the best of the affordable food out there, this is it. 🌞 I highly recommend Wellness Core cat food. ———————————— Also, (nothing to do with Wellness brand, but as a word of advice for any pet food, or human food for that matter) note that lots of brands will say “grain free” but actually have other stuff in their food that isn’t great and/or will have poorly sourced meat products and other fillers, giving your pet similar if not the same low quality as grain foods because the advertising label is not telling you about the rest of the stuff inside. TLDR: “Grain-free” labels on super cheap pet foods are often there just as advertising but still aren’t actually good. Do your research about the ingredients even on “Grain-Free” labeled foods.

My two 18 month old cats did not like there previous food and were loosing alot of weight. So I decided to put them back on kitten food for awhile so that they can regain the weight they lost and it has been 2 weeks now and they seem to like it. Alot of broken pieces though!
