Holistic Cage Free Chicken Cat Food, Grain Free Dry Cat Food, For Healthy Weight Support, Kibble for Indoor Cats, 3 lb Bag

I switched to Halo Holistic Cage Free Chicken Cat Food to help my indoor cat maintain a healthier weight, and it’s been a great choice—she actually enjoys eating it (which isn’t always the case with “healthy” dry foods), and I’ve noticed she’s become a bit leaner and more active over time; I also feel better about the ingredient quality since it uses real cage-free chicken and skips fillers like grains, and the transition was smooth with no digestive issues at all, though it is slightly more expensive than other options, the quality and results make it well worth it.

My cats have been eating Halo for years rotating with Freedom chicken dry and wet food. I discovered it years ago when a local Petco was clearancing it out and I got it for dirt cheap. My kitties gobbled it up like candy - but then I couldn’t find any more in stores except from Amazon or Chewy. Amazon prices are better and it’s less of a splurge for the babies - quality is great - kibble is easier to eat (small, flat, 3 pt star shaped) - and mostly I love the fact that they don’t use any unhealthy animal meals as fillers like most all the other brands do. I do notice when they eat Halo there is almost no puking, which seems to be more common when they eat other brands of dry food (Blue Freedom and Wilderness lines, Merrick, Acana etc).

The quality of this brand is excellent, the first ingredient is chicken! Theres no meal fillersand my cats LOVE the taste! They dont get bad upset stomachs and no diarrhea! Everytime it comes in the box my cats know what it is and are always excited when it arrives! Cant say enough good things about this brand! LOVE IT!

The first 5 ingredients are basically what most pet food critics use to review kibble. Above average content and appears to be recall free, not chemical free and no guarantee that the sourcing of products is clear of problems. That is something I watch since the 2007 recall. The largest recall of pet food in the history of the World revealed almost all pet food companies were using the same sources for their protein booster. The melamine used to inflate the rate of protein in pet food months later also caused a recall in baby formulas. I've followed the many lawsuits against pet food companies and the one woman criticizing the Pet Food Industry and AAFCO for their lack of regulatory control over pet food ingredients Susan Thixton. Her Truth about Pet Food, Petsumer Reports caught HALO using some cans that were not BPA free. I rate a food on the overall production quality of the company as well as the individual food because unknown factors are what killed 2 of my pets. It was a long slow death. I have one mom and her grown kindle. First, they all loved it. Second, I have UTI's amongst the group. To fight the cost of feeding all soft food I moisten kibble, then use a topper. The topper is often home cooked, even that has chemical problems. The issues of food safety for pets is so complex that I've come to think it very important that a company reveal the source that provided their extra food additives. Halo does not do that. In that regards they don't make me feel any more confident about their product than some of the formerly recalled companies. Halo is quick to become soft when distilled water is poured on it. I refrigerate it for the process and then pour something warm over it. That is a good thing for feeding a group of cats where more than one has repeat urinary tract problems. I purchased mine at a discount, again one reason I could afford it. I find it pricey. At full price this is in a price range that I can also buy Honest Kitchen. A company that does publicly post where all their ingredients are sourced. Their cat food is chemical free, to the extent any food is chemical free. Thumbs up but with precautions.

My 18 year cat has CKD and this food is rated to have pretty low phosphorus levels. I'd rather feed him only wet food, but he's a food licker (vs. taking bites) and has a hard time finishing a full daily serving wet food. When he started losing too much weight, I gave in and began supplementing his diet with this dry food. So far, so good. Between his weekly IV fluids, a little daily lactulose (buy from dr. foster and smith) and some miralax in his wet food, he's had no serious constipation issues, which I'm so happy about. I know WAY too much about cat poop and cat enemas at this point and I was terrified that he'd be pooping dry little rocks with the introduction of kibble into his diet. PHEW. I'd actually say this food has improved his stool. .... Aaaaaanyhoo, enough about poo. Totally suggest giving this a try if you need to add some calories into your CKD kitty's diet. If you're cat is not CKD, you can afford a bit more and your cat will eat it, I highly suggest just feeding wet food though. It's believed that most older kitties suffer from CKD due to eating a kibble diet for most their lives, which does not provide enough hydration. Without hydration, their kidneys pay the price in the long run and they wind up needing to be on a special wet diet and/or need to be hydrated by IV with sub-q fluids daily/weekly... this can get all get pricey and stressful. My cat's health is worth it and it keeps him healthy and happy... but it's still a stress that could have possibly been avoided for the both of us.

My cat loves this

My cats regularly eat Simply Nourish® Original Cat Dry Food - Chicken & Pea, Natural, Grain Free. They love this food, I wanted to add another type of food to it for a variety for them. I purchased this Halo, grain free chicken dry cat food, added it into the box that I keep their other food in, and mixed it in really well. Then I gave them some of the mixed combination. They loved this food! They were pushing their other food out of the way to get to this food! I have noticed less vomiting's, and their fur coats are so soft! I have 4 cats, they all like it! Also, everything in the litter box looks good too!

Very over priced - more than double the cost of what you would pay at PET SMART I wanted to return the over priced item and it says not eligible for return. don't waste money on this product
