Only food my Persians will eat!

Persians can be tricky to feed because of their flat faces; they have a hard time grabbing kibbles so it may take a series of trial and error to find a kibble shape they can actually bite/grab/eat. When we brought our kittens home, they refused to eat the food the breeder sent home with them. They refused to eat wet. They refused to eat our 19 year old senior cat's Purina Urinary diet. Being a veterinary professional, I knew it had to be because they couldn't grab the kibble shape, so I began studying the bags at a local feed store until I found one with appropriately shaped kibbles. I brought a small bag of this home and they fell face first into that food bowl and didn't stop for a good twenty minutes. They really seemed to enjoy the meaty chunks, and the kibble shapes were easy for them to grab with their mouths. Our senior cat was so enticed by the food, he also decided he would rather eat this than his urinary diet (which he is only on for prevention, rather than treatment due to his age.) The bags of this at the feed store were really expensive, so I compared a few online retailers and Amazon was cheaper than Chewy since they offered bigger bags with lower price per oz size. We have an auto-subscribe set up for our food to ship, and now all three of our cats are eating it. There was a few day adjustment with our senior cat where his stool really stunk, but now it appears to be ok and is back to normal. Haven't had any problems with the food having a strong odor or anything like what was reported in other comments. I have all of my animals on Purina diets and recommend Purina to my clients.

Excellent Food That Is Well Worth The Money -- We Have Fed It To All Our Cats For Years

We have been feeding Purina One cat food products to our sanctuary cats (and house pets) for years. It has enabled us to feed even the two feral colonies we provide food/water for on a daily basis with good quality food to maintain their health. Unfortunately, the raccoons come out of the woods and eat the food alongside the feral cats -- but they are some of the healthiest raccoons out there!!! Whether you have one cat or several, we would highly recommend trying Purina One. Some of the cats prefer the chicken flavor, where most are perfectly happy with the salmon/tuna. We have tried other higher end brands, but always go back to Purina One. You can spend more money (if you want to), but I don't know that many of the fancy-schmancy brands are worth their high cost. Our dogs have been fed Purina Pro Plan for years (grain free), but I will admit that I have switched them to Blue Buffalo recently due to health issues with one of our Black Labs. I tried Blue Buffalo with the cats, but they just didn't seem to like it as much as the Purina One, so we went back to what has been very successful for our cats for years. Wish I had bought stock in Purina years ago, because we go through several bags a week. Hope this information is useful to anyone out there considering feeding your cat(s) this brand of food.

A step-up in quality from cat junk food from the grocery store

I've taken over feeding responsibilities for a beautiful feral cat in the park, and I can't bear the thought of feeding her garbage junk food, even if it is cheaper. I settled on Purina One, because it is a step up from garbage grocery store foods, and is still palatable enough to coax her out of her hiding places. I've tried several other brands, such as I and Love and You, Rachel Ray Peak, Nutro, and Royal Canin, and the Purina One ranks roughly equal to Royal Canin and Nutro from my visual observations of the cat, and far above Rachel Ray and I and Love and You. (Don't worry, I also feed her wet food, and bring her bottled water to drink, AND I've seen her catch mice with her exciting patented "fox dive bomb" attack. So she has a well-balanced diet and retains her survival skills----I'm just taking the edge off the wet and cold San Francisco nights with food assistance...) The Purina One has small kibble--so this might be troublesome if you have cats that do not self-regulate well. In my experience, cats are pretty good at self-regulating, so the ones I know do not tend to overeat. but small kibble is something to keep an eye on if your cat shovels giant mouthfuls down their throat. There are larger beige meaty bits---or I suppose they're "meaty" in the sense that they are a different texture than hard kibble pellets. They're sort of spongy in a firm way, and they're irregularly shaped. These pieces must have more oils to make them delicious, because these are the pieces that get eaten first. The Salmon flavor and the Chicken flavor both seem equally palatable, as I've offered both with good results. This is in stark comparison to 2 other types of kibble (Costco and Friskies) being left as offerings occasionally by well-intentioned but clueless people in the park. Costco and Friskies rarely get touched, but the park cat sits patiently and waits for me to show up with my Purina One, wet food, and water so we can have lunch together every day. I pay close attention to her moods, her health, what she eats, which flavors she picks, and how fast she gravitates to them, so after several months, I can safely say that the Purina One is a reliable option. She appears to be in good condition, and her coat is the thickest and densest I have ever seen on a cat. When you brush against her coat, there is no way to part the hairs and see all the way down to her skin--that's how thick her fur is. So I'll keep doing what I'm doing, and keep feeding her Purina One.

No Problems for Me! Would recommend to anyone

I was hesitant to buy this product due to some of the reviews about the stench and possible danger of this, however, I noticed that when Purina started adding the chewy bites that it smelled even when it was store bought so I took my chances. I am very pleased. Yes, it stinks a bit but nothing different from the store bought version. I love being able to have this delivered fast and it's cheaper, even if it's only by $5-8, than the store. I will be buying it again from Amazon, no doubt! I would recommend it to anyone. As far as a review of the food itself, I cannot say this is necessarily the healthiest cat food available. However, for my cat it is the only one he tolerates without violent, constant vomiting so my vet has recommend I stick with it. I am pleased that Purina seems to be trying to keep up with the demands of pet owners to include more real meat, less filler.

My cat devours this like a maniac!

I bought this the first time only because they were out of my 8 year-old cat's "normal" high-quality brand at the store. Goodness gracious what a difference. She practically attacked the bowl! I have been feeding this to her for about six months now, and she seems happier, her eyes are clear and bright, her coat is glossier, and she still goes after her food bowl with an aggressive enthusiasm I had never seen her exhibit before! So, I guess my cat highly recommends it! :-)

Let's talk poop...

Yes, poop. We have 4 cats, one we have had for forever and a day. Our oldest cat could clear the Aerium in a single movement. No matter what box\cabinet\enclosed self cleaning containement unit\ robots, litter or additives or even whole room freshners, when he went you wished for Anosmia. Then we got 3 more. Needless to say, they didn't smell that bad but it was far from pleasant. Finally, my wife went online and looked up what we should do, it was FOOD. There are people who cook each meal for their cats and then there is reality. For dry food, this was rated 3 of 10. The first two had cons, like ingredients known to cause allergies in cats etc. This one's (salmon only not any other type of meat ONLY salmon) had only one con which was smell. Knowing it could not be worse than what we were suffering through, we gave it a shot. We opened the bag, took a whiff and it smelled like normal dry cat food. So we fed our cats. They currently were on Purina so the change did not disrupt their digestive tracts and the difference was almost instant. Granted it still smells like poop but the smell is contained where it is suppose to be and you do not need a gas mask to change the litter. We would not be even able to tell he's going if it wasn't for his song he songs while he's going. This stuff is amazing and priced at a normal price. If your cat is stinking you out of house and home I'm telling you try a bag (only the salmon flavor, the others will not work) you will never look back.

My cats like this brand and I've got 3

My kitties like this food and they all scream for their one handful at night. My vet said no hard food, but tell my cats that, especially Davie, who gets really angry and demands it. If I don't give it to him, he's a terror and goes on my dresser, purposely knocking things over until I get up and give it to them. He's got me trained. Don't forget the wet food and use this as supplemental. All my cats are thin so although the vet says dry food makes kitties fat, my kitties are skinny enough to have and enjoy their treats.

My Cat's Go-To Meal

I originally bought Purina Beyond when I was searching for an affordable,nutritious alternative to canned cat food. My indoor-outdoor cat just sniffed at all the canned brands except for the most expensive. I invested in a small bag of Purina Beyond as an experiment and she loved it. It made sense to order this larger package on Amazon because it ensures a steady supply. Since it is dry, there's no mess and I just make sure her bowl is full. She has developed a habit of running in and going straight to her food, then having a snack. She doesn't eat big meals, just satisfies her cravings and then is off. She' full of energy and is very healthy.Purina ONE Dry Cat Food, Salmon & Tuna Flavor, 16-Pound Bag, Pack of 1

Horribly Stinky but Okay Now

I don't know which is correct to give, a 5 star review or a 1 star one. I chose 5 star because I buy this kibble all the time through Amazon and my cats love it. But, I recently purchased it and it stunk to high heaven, like something was terribly wrong with it! I called Purina and they took information from the bag to try and determine the source, use-by date etc. I also contacted Amazon and they told me that the stinky bag I received was provided through Amazon directly, not another party, and has since been removed. The bags now available for sale, as of the date of me writing this at least, are all from 3rd party sources and should be okay. So, if you choose to buy it, you should be getting a quality bag and not have to worry about the stinky stuff. Amazon also reimbursed me for the purchase. Unfortunately I had poured the whole 16 lb. bag into my big storage container which had other good kibble in it as well. Once I got the whiff, I ended up disposing of all the kibble in the container, including the good stuff, and thoroughly cleaning the container to be safe. I don't know what was wrong with the stinky kibble but I sure wasn't going to let my cats taste a morsel of it!

The strays rumble with happiness as soon as they see me step out onto ...

I started to buy this food as a cheaper alternative to feed the strays I take care of vs the exorbitantly priced stuff I buy for my indoor cats. The strays rumble with happiness as soon as they see me step out onto the porch with this food, and they eat it right up. I put out a bowl inside to see if my indoor cats would like it to, because $40-50 per 10lb bag of the food I was feeding them was becoming silly expensive. They voted with their tiny tummies, and this food won the day with a crushing victory. I have a maine coon that weighs 15.6 lbs and he loves both the Chicken/Turkey and Salmon/Tuna. I have another domestic shorthair that I took in from being a stray when I found out she had FIV. She's gone up from a sick 6.0 lbs when I took her in to a healthy and happy 9.0 lbs eating the Chicken/Turkey and Tuna/Salmon. And further, this actually smells like the cats enjoy it. I went vegetarian last year, and sometimes I get jealous of the cats as I'm scooping this out (I always keep 2 10lb airtight containers full of this) to feed them, and I'm almost tempted to have some. Huge extra bonus, this is always on sale at my local supermarket, and while it is more expensive there vs. Amazon, it is still inexpensive vs other foods, and means I never have to worry about running low and having to scrounge for something else the cats will enjoy. I do sometimes notice the food looks different from the supermarket vs. from amazon, but there seems to be no difference in smell, and the cats show no preference for amazon bought bags or store bought bags.
