Reviews of Happy Cat food for cats
If you are interested in hearing the opinions of furry pet owners, then read on.
Maria: “When I got a British cat, I was determined to feed him only natural homemade food. But such food did not suit him. According to the vet, my cat falls into the category of “cats with sensitive digestion.” He also recommended Happy Cat ready-made food to me. It's amazing that this food came right away. The cat eats the food with pleasure, has gained noticeable weight and his fur has stopped falling out. I am pleased".
Andrey: “We have an ordinary mongrel kitten Vaska, whom we picked up from the street. He was dirty, shabby, sick and terribly hungry. At first we fed him pure meat, but it was clear that the kitten had difficulty chewing it. After this, my wife bought Happy Cat dry food to feed the kittens. We pre-soaked the food in water and gave it to Vaska to try. At first he refused, but gradually he began to eat. Within a month, we noticed that the kitten had become noticeably stronger and grown. I’m glad that the company has a very large selection of food, although you can’t buy it in all pet stores.”
Yasmina: “I started feeding my Persian cat Pouchi food from Happy Cat. He was absolutely delighted with them and ate the entire portion. Over time, I realized that the cost was hitting my pocket hard and decided to try Happy Cat in preserves and canned goods. The cat's reaction remained unchanged, and the portions were also eaten completely. However, in canned food the pieces are larger, a lot of broth and vegetable additives are not visible at all.
The brand has a large assortment, a lot of different tastes, which I alternate every day. The pet’s stool is regular and there is no strong odor.”
