Customer review: "I am happy with the purchase as my 5-month kitten likes this food. He had a running stool when on a dried kitten door or mixed diet. I switched to AVA wet food and chicken breast and his poo is normal now. I am taking away one star as the packaging is not recyclable."

Customer review: "My kittens love this brand, I haven't any fault with it apart from the price, as I have 2 kittens and its £10.99 each it's costing me a lot of money per week but as they have been brought up on this brand I don't want to change, it's just a shame that I never receive any vouchers for discounts on this brand from pets at home as I buy it every week."
