My black cat would only eat True Instincts chicken. I tried the Ocean Fish-nah! Fed that to the stray calico cat. From reviews, I tried Instinct. Accepted! I was so happy. Then I thought, why not try American Journey grain-free chicken, it's cheaper, too. Yahoo, winner, winner!

I bought this much more expensive feed because it’s from an independent company and comes in heavy paper sacks. We are so tired of throwing plastic bags into the garbage. The chickens seem happy enough with it but how can you even tell what chickens like? Anyway, we’re reordering, at least for now.

I'm new to Chewy and I was looking for a new food to feed the cats. I purchased American Journey Chicken. 5 out of 5 cats ate every crumb at their afternoon meal. This never happens. I'm definitely putting this choice into the mix of foods they get.

I have fed my dogs American Journey for years and finally switched my cats over. The difference on quality of food was noticable immediately. American Journey even looked like it had more moisture. Both my cats went crazy for it immediately and there was no irritation when making the switch. Super satisfied.

My cat will eat it most days, although some days he goes on a hunger strike. Is it the food or his delicate sensibilities? Hard to say. Still going to buy the food

Every single one of them prefers this dry food. When I've run out or am late reordering and buy something to substitute for 3 days, several of them turn those sweet noses up and walk away. I guess it's their kitty crack.

This food appealed to them but they are not picky cats.. however the diarrhea and constant begging for food clued me in that this food isn't filling them up. They had to eat so much to be satisfied that the bag ran out quickly. Though cheap it made for some uncomfortable cats. It also made their poop mold which I have never seen before I got this food and I scoop their boxes at least every other day.

I have been buying purina true instincts grain free and serving it as a treat. with 26 cats regular treats are getting to be a bit much. And my cats love that. It was out of stock.. Both flavors. When i needed it so i thought well this is just as expensive it must be good. But my cats just sit and wait for me to get something else when i give them this. Nothing special. I am sure it's probly good. And if you only have a cat or two you could use it for your regular chow. I did like it was tiny little pieces. sometimes they like that or for old kitties or little kitties. But i guess it isn't worth the splurge for us.

I switched flavors, because they were seemingly just ok with it. They love this flavor and come running whenever they heard the bag. I also love the packaging. It's tough unlike some others we have had. It's a nutritious cat food for a good price. Win, Win!

I was very impressed with the way chewy handled my situation, I tried to order what I always have for my cat, mistakenly ordered the wrong thing. When talking to chewy, they asked me to donate it, which I did. And they sent me my next order. Took no time, very happy with the chewy company
