Halo Spot's Stew for Cats, Wholesome Turkey Recipe, 3oz/12cans

 (3 customer reviews)

After my cat was diagnosed with renal failure, he refused to eat any of the canned versions of his vet prescribed food for kidney disease although he would eat Hill's Science Diet k/d dry food, but he was vomiting it up regularily. Since his diet requires low protein after searching online I finally found Spot's Stew. My cat really likes it and readily eats the chicken, turkey and salmon varieties. Granted sometimes he eats around the carrots, peas and green beans, but he does eat them. I really like that Spot's Stew is an all natural cat food with no by-products or fillers, and especially that it is an alternative for my cat that he really enjoys.

My cat loved the dry version of spot's stew. When she was sick with a UTI, I purchased this in hopes of adding some additional fluid to her diet. When I dumped it in her bowel, she looked up at me as if I were mad, and I couldn't blame her. It is literally "stew," with whole chunks of peas, carrots, etc. in it. Cats are carnivores. I have owned several, and I have never seen one of them willingly eat a piece of fruit or vegetable, grain products excluded, that hadn't been completely ground up and disguised in something else.

She took one sniff and walked away. Of course, cats are unpredictable creatures and YMMV. But there are loads of good quality pate-style wet foods and all-meat wet foods that most cats are more likely to prefer.

I wasn't sure what would come of my venture in buying this food for my 2 cats that can eat poultry after reading the mixed reviews, but thought it was worth a try. I am so glad I did! I was expecting a stew like another reviewer said, and I guess you could refer to it that way. When I opened the first can that is what I was expecting to see, but instead it is a course pate with chunks of veges in it. Kind of like a toddler food. Cats are tricky to please for sure, but mine loved everything about this food. They not only ate the chunks of veges, but licked their bowls clean. I love the fact that it was such a hit, and will continue to buy it for them. I also love that is like something you would make for them at home, only with all the right vitamins and minerals added. Very user friendly. My 3rd cat cannot eat poultry, so until Halo makes one without chicken in it, she will be fine with her Nature's variety instinct rabbit and Tiki foods.
