Dr. Elsey's cleanprotein Duck Cat Kibble 2 lb. Bag

My cats absolutely love this food. It is a dry food, and I've noticed that they drink a lot more water than they did before with this. It's a more concentrated protein, and they tend to eat less than they did before when they were eating the junk filled commercial products from the supermarket. It does have a little bit of a smell. But that's only when you're opening the bag. It doesn't linger around the plate of food.

I researched quite a lot until I found this particular dry food brand. Note it is more expensive than "regular" cat food. However, it has a much higher protein content and I found my cats not eating as much, not because it isn't tasty, but likely it is more filling.

This is our cats 2nd favorite food they love it. We love the amount of protein which has been good for my diabetic cat. We buy it in small amounts to keep it fresh. The bags seal well which also keeps it fresh.

One of the brands recommended for diabetic cats. It was a hit for my kibble loving cat, but it raised his glucose, so had to discontinue its use. Darn! He has since gone into remission, but don't want to test it again and knock him out of the remission.

Good food . My cats do not have any digestive issues or throw up . They like all the flavors .

We like this brand overall and have been using it for about a year. They had some quality control issues with their "chicken" variety and then it went out of stock. We had to switch to the "duck". We liked the chicken because the only filler it had was flax. We have a little carnivore cat that we keep carnivore because it eliminated bladder stone issues. But he likes his munchy crunchies. This does have some fillers but less than most and he just gets a teeny bit each day. All the cats like it.

First, anyone complaining about diarrhea, really needs to introduce this food incredibly slowly over one to two weeks. It absolutely will cause diarrhea in many cats if you just straight out, feed it full force. The amazing thing about this food, at least for my cat, is the quality of the ingredients, and incredibly low carbohydrate content. My cat, Devon Rex, develops skin issues with most dry foods. It’s because most dry foods even hypoallergenic, have tons of carbs. Even if they are grain free.

UPDATE: NEW FORMULA CAN BE DANGEROUS! MY SENIOR CAT BECAME VERY SICK! Dr. Elsey's in a kibble we'd fed our cats for many years and always trusted. Recently, however, the formula was changed, apparently for cost reasons! 🤨 Yet, the price was increased also! 😡 I was happy to pay more for a good product, given increased costs across the board, but this feels like a betrayal of my trust in them. Our kitties only eat one of the best (and unfortunately most expensive) canned cat foods -Nulo, freeze dried 1-ingredient cat treats and the healthiest kibble we can find. However, for months our 14 year old senior kitty kept frequently throwing up bile and food. It was determined that either food or stress were the most likely causes (we did loose our 16 year old cat and introduce a new one). We did everything recommended both to reduce stress and hange her diet; we gradually tried eliminating each canned food and freeze dried food. Nothing worked until we eliminated the kibble. Research then told us of the major change to the 'Dr. Elsey's Chicken Formula' we've been using for years! They sneaked in a change of ingredients without announcing it? They even dare to still call it 'chicken'? HYDROLYSED PORK & PORK PLASMA ARE NOW THE PRIMARY FIRST INGREDIENTS IN THE 'CHICKEN' FORMULA! I'm pretty sure it is not as healthy for kitties, and like for my senior kitty, it can be dangerous to some. So, I no longer trust this food and have switched to Instinct (one of the recommended brands in cat food reviews I follow). The ingredients of 'Instinct - Original Formula' appear to be just as good as this one used to be and it's cheaper! I wonder if perhaps the owners have changed, as this brand seems to care more about profit now. PREVIOUS REVIEW FROM 2017: It's good to know this isn't just junk food for cats that'll kill them faster! I guess it is sort of like a more nutritional 'take-out' at home, in our minds. Most kibble these days is guaranteed to harm your cat, though they don't tell you that. After all, there's good money in selling people junk pet food and even better money in treating feline diabetes, right? Yet cats love kibble like we love McDonalds and we all love convenience, right? When our vet told us our older cat was way overweight and possibly pre-diabetic, we raced to take our cats off the cheap stuff years ago! We literally have had to tighten our own belts to feed them better, but vet bills are much worse! We now feed them grain free, low carb food for the most part, with half their diet being freeze-dried raw and the other half high-priced canned food - Nulo grain-free and human-grade tuna occasionally. This is the only kibble we give them, in very limited amounts a couple of times a week. So, this is a good quality treat they cherish! Oh... and our old kitty has lost a ton of weight though she eats all she wants now! She has aged issues, but so far we haven't had to treat her for diabetes! It is interesting how easily she gained weight on cheap food and how many cats have diabetes or are killed by cheap food these days, isn't it? One hopes there'll be better control of what goes in pet foods, more honesty on packaging in future and that'll lower prices of quality food. The price on Dr. Elsey's bulk bags isn't bad considering!

Hi, I monthly order Dr Elsey cat dry food but last batch was not good at all, see pictures. All cats start vomiting and I stopped giving the food from that batch. I don’t know what happen, is that due to production batch? transport? please advise if replacement is possible. Thank you with best regards Osterlind Alain Taher
