Halo Purely For Pets Halo Indoor Wet Cat Food, Grain Free, Salmon Pate, 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Good quality healthy product that my cat loves
Halo food has good ingredients. We are particular which food we give our kitty. This is her favorite flavor, and the Chicken Pate is nice and solid, not a lot of water like the stew versions.

Cats love it, just wish it didn’t have the carrageenan
First, let me say that I have never obsessed over my consumer choices more than I have over cat food. I’m always searching for wet cat food that is affordable, low carb, high quality ingredients… but most importantly, that my cats will eat (and do well on).Originally when I decided to switch my cats entirely to wet food, I fed them Evo 95% Cat/Kitten food. They loved it and it worked great, but for some reason it gave one of my kitties diarrhea. Then I switched to Wellness Core, which they also did very well on, but WOW… the price. I couldn’t handle it. Finally I ended up buying Halo Spot’s Pate and they LOVED it. Plus they were doing great on it – solid stools, shiny fur, and feeling full after meals (no begging for more food!) I fed it to them for months and they were doing well, but the downside that bothered me was the fact that it isn’t available in 13 oz cans and is therefore a little pricey. So when I found Innova canned food, I tried to switch. My cats weren’t crazy about it, but they would eat it eventually and I bought a case so I kept trying to feed it to them. Until I realized that one of my cat was losing hair on his face (!!!) which is a common sign of a food allergy.So long story short… we are back with Spot’s Pate and the kitties are happier and everybody has all of their fur. Looks like we are sticking with it. Only downside is that I wish they used less veggies in it (cats! don’t! need! vegetables!) and I wish they didn’t use carrageenan. I may still attempt a switch to a food that is carageenan free (before my obsessive self eventually switches them to an all-raw diet).

Cats wouldn’t eat it.
I selected this brand because of the ingredients. My inside cats would have nothing to do with it so I fed it to the outside cats. They ate it and I added it over some dry cat food. My inside cats are very selective when it comes to their food. They will only eat pate and mostly Friskies. I wanted them to have a larger selection of flavors so I tried Halo. I kept trying to get them to eat some of the Halo brand, but they would eat a few bites and quit eating. I left it out because they always came back and finished their breakfast or supper, but they didn’t eat any more of this cat food. Maybe if I had started feeding them this brand of cat food from the time they were big enough to start eating they probably would have liked it. The outside cats ate it right up and loved it. I ordered a case of three different brands hoping they would like them. Most of the flavors they like from Friskies are not available now and haven’t been for several months so I was trying to find a substitution for their favorite flavors. I would recommend this brand of cat food if the cats aren’t too picky about their food.

5-star product, 1-star supplier. Buy Local Instead!
I love this product, and so does our cat. But let me tell you about the most recent delivery, which prompted me to cancel my “Subscribe & Save” to this product and vow to buy it at the local pet food store (which I am glad happens to carry it, but if it didn’t, I’d try to find a different online retailer from which to purchase it).The latest box of it arrived today, and every single can (12) is dented. Some of them are badly dented. Some are dented in multiple places, even! The packaging was fine — this did not happen in shipping. The position of the dents and the undamaged packaging led to the inevitable conclusion that these items were this badly damaged before they were packaged. The fact that they are ALL damaged, and the fact that some of them are SO badly damaged, again leads to the inescapable conclusion that the person who packed these items did so knowing full well that they were damaged.Let me also note, although I am sure that for most people reading this it will be something that you already well know, that a damaged can is not the same as, say, a chipped ashtray. A can with a serious dent can cause botulism to breed. Some of the dents are small, but some of them are serious enough that there’s no way they can be used, for this reason. Our kitty is already sick, and this is the food he’s been eating for awhile. Now I suddenly am in the position of hunting through these cans to find the few that are usable, to get us through until Monday when the pet store is open, so that I don’t have to change his diet abruptly (if you have ever had a cat, let alone a sick cat, you’ll know what I mean about how hard that is on them).In the end, Amazon ended up giving me a little store credit, but it was like pulling teeth to get that (think: over an hour on chat with multiple customer service people). I don’t know whether this was done by an inept packing clerk, but I suspect it is bigger than that. I’m not buying this again, nor any other canned goods from Amazon. I also realize that the world’s largest online retailer does not have to do anything for me. It won’t affect them at all. If this were a real store, the proprietors would know me (given that I’ve been shopping here quite a bit, for years) and would be horrified at this, and would have done something immediately to make it up to me. It wouldn’t have taken an hour, it would have taken 15 seconds. That’s how it is with a real store.I ended up canceling ALL my “Subscribe & Save” items and vowing to shop local as much as possible. And it will help my local economy, as well. So, Amazon, that’s what you get for sending me products you knew full well could kill my cat. The cat is sitting here next to me as I type this, and when I wrote that last sentence, he started purring like crazy. Coincidence?
