These little tins are amazing!
I have a very healthy, energetic and bouncy little kitten which Im attributing in part to this food.
Hes not exactly fussy with his food (Ive seen him chewing on spiders the dirty beggar), but I am - and reading the contents of some marketed cat food horrifies me (Potato flakes? REALLY? When have you ever seen a cat hunt Smash?!) - Anyway. He already has Royal Canin Kitten dry food which he goes crazy for, but, I thought Id try the young man with this stuff as it claims to provide all his dietary needs with no artifical colours, flavours, and none of that filler nonsense - and I wanted to make sure his diet is varied.
The cans themselves are very small, but Ive found one can is sufficient for 2 feeds - sometimes I use one full can a day, but often, half a can is more than enough for him (presumably he gets everything he needs so doesn't want more!)
The food is simple but premium looking - its just shredded chicken meat (cooked), in a sort of... white gravy sauce... I cant really describe it, but its not gelatinous or watery. In fact the contents are quite reminiscent, in look and smell, to that canned "Chicken in White Sauce" you can get that ends up in vol-au-vents at wedding buffets! Anyway, it doesnt look appetizing to me, but why does it need to - Im not eating it! (again, I have massive issues with artificial colouring in cat food - cats dont care, so why is it in there?!)
Anyway, kitten LOVES this stuff; he purrs as soon as he sees the can come out for breakfast. He's in the habit of licking off all the sauce first, then eating the chicken in dribs and drabs, but its usually all gone within the hour. As mentioned, he sometimes takes the second half of the can for his evening meal, but more often than not hes satisfied with this for breakfast, and his dry food for the rest of the day to munch on.
Yes, its quite expensive at just under £1 per tiny tin, but complimented with dry food you should be able to feed half a can a day, and to give kitten the best start, it's worth it.
Plus you tend to find with more costly, quality, high protein food that you need to feed them less than with food that has a lower "meat content" - so its an expense Im willing to make.
If there is one down side, unfortunately Thrive does make for VERY smelly kitten-pumps, and his number twos are eye-watering; but thats a high protein diet for you!
