NuloFreestyle Cat & Kitten Wet Cat Food Pouch, Premium All Natural Grain-Free Soft Cat Food Topper with Amino Acids for Heart Health and High Animal-Based Protein

So, picture this: my cat, born in the chaos of a COVID lockdown at my husband's friend's house (think three kids, easy-going parents, total mayhem), came to live with us. He's an absolute delight—energetic, simple, funny—basically, the perfect cat. But for the first three months, he only drank water straight from the faucet, delivered via my hand. Adorable, right? Until he decided, one day, to stop drinking water. At all.Cue the panic. I tried every trick in the book. Watched videos, read articles, bought six different water systems. Amazon's cat hydration department owes its profits to me. Nothing worked. My cat, stubborn as a mule, refused to drink. The inevitable happened: struvite crystals. I became a full-time pH checker, syringe-wielding water enforcer, and occasional medicator. I had to push water into his mouth with a syringe. (Yes, I was that desperate.)Following the vet's advice, I stuck to wet food, sneaking in extra water. Of course, my cat caught on and gave me the "No way, human" look. Even his "treat" was reduced to a spoonful of Hill's CD dry food. I kept experimenting with different cat foods, hoping to find one with more liquid. For two years, my cat sniffed, turned up his nose, and walked away.Enter my sister, talking about her dog's love for vegetable broth (pre-salt, obviously). Broth! Why didn't I think of that? Off to the local store I went, where a kind staff member guided me to a tiny, hidden section in the vast cat food aisle. There it was: Nulo. Whatever that meant, I was willing to try.I bought every variety they had and then some from Amazon. Six kinds. One try a day. On day one, he licked "Tuna & Salmon." Hope! By day four, miracle of miracles, he started drinking "Yellow Tuna & Shrimps." Spoiled? Absolutely. But finally, he was drinking!Fast forward to today: my cat is now a healthy 4-year-old. His pH strips are consistently a healthy yellow (knock on wood), he poops regularly, and his coat is silky smooth. On the outside, he's still my same simple, funny cat, but I know he feels better inside.Thank you, Nulo, for ending my hydration nightmare and making my cat's life (and mine) so much better! 🐾

Loving this basic chicken product with none of the garbage they normally put!!! My four cats LOVE it! A bit expensive but it’s worth it to have healthy cats! I’d rather pay for quality food t than have vet bills and sick animals from the garbage they put in most animal foods!

My cats didn't care for it, but the neighborhood catsLoved it.

My cat loves the broth but does not like the shreds. I don't like the packaging because when the pouch is opened the liquid squirts out all over the dish and then one has to fish out the remaining food particles. Not sure if 'pate' is the name of the name from here on out.

Honestly my girl wouldn't touch anything in this lineup. It's not the food but the texture. The only flaked texture she eats sadly is from Purina. I stopped buying their products only to find out any healthier brand like Nulo, Applepaws and Tiki Cat with a flaked texture she refused to eat. She won't even drink the broth on these foods. It's quality treats or toppers but atlas I have to stick to the puree ones in the tubes.I ended up passing the lot off to a friend whose cat eats flaked texture. Their 3 cats enjoyed their options no problem. My girl, nope.Regardless of my cat not touching these I'm still giving 5 of 5. I buy from Nulo all the time generally their puree treats, kibble and the fake shredded/minced canned foods. Nulo makes quality food for births cats and dogs. Overall it still a good buy.

Our cats and kitten love this food

I have a diabetic cat that needs to take pills (Bexacat) and the easiest way for him to eat them is cutting and crushing into the wet food. One pouch lasts for a few meals. I open and save in a container and strictly use the wet food topper for the cat's meds. He gets dry food the rest of the time. So then he knows it's a special treat with the topper and gobbles it right up!

My cat really likes the broth. But every time he ate it, he would immediately vomit after. I thought maybe it was just the shrimp or other particular flavors so I tossed those. But then he vomited all of them. They make him feel so sick afterward. I’m not buying this product anymore.
