Cats seem to like it
They eat like I've starved them for years regardless of what I feed them BUT I did lots of research and Orijen seemed good and healthy for kitties and I haven't had any issues with it! Plus the delivery from Mill & Feed is AMAZING, really appreciate this new service!

No objections
I have personally not tried it so I can't attest to the flavor, but the cats seem to like it. Theoretically pretty healthy too based on the label but who knows. Seemed like a good bet after a few hours of googling healthiest cat foods.
