Only Natural Cat Food: Only Natural Ingredients?

Only Natural cat food is NOT a brand I am too familiar with, though I will admit I have come across the brand in a few specialty pet stores. Nothing really caught my interest in this food. Not the branding or the bag design. However, I think it is time I look into this food to see if it actually contains all of the natural ingredients it claims to have in its formulas.

For this Only Natural cat food review, I will be focusing on the Poultry Dinner formula.

Only Natural Cat Food Reviews by Cat Owners

Most of the reviews you will find on Only Natural cat food that has been left by actual cat owners tend to be pretty mixed. Let’s take a closer look at some of these reviews below.

“This food was great for a while, until my cat decided it wasn’t anymore. After a few months, my cat refused to touch this food for nearly a week. It turns out my cat has food allergies and one of the flavors I was feeding her was one she was allergic to. After switching to a different flavor, she went back to loving it.” -Kanwaldeeop K. Sekhon, January 13th

“Success at last! I own a cat that vomits non-stop without medication and if I don’t feed him the right food. This is the only brand he will eat and keep down. He loves it too. Thank goodness.” -Sigi Holmes, March 8th

“I highly recommend this food. I have a cat that has tummy issues and often throws up after eating. I have tried many different brands, but this is the only food she will eat. If you struggle to find a quality brand for your cat that isn’t super expensive, I highly recommend this food.” -Graham, July 31st

“This is a great food, but it is incredibly hard to find at local retail stores. Thankfully you can buy it online without much of an issue. I just wish this food were more readily available.” -Rose Harris, July 10th

“My 3 cats love this food. They look healthier on it and have so much energy now. I love the natural ingredients too.” Healthnut, October 1st

 

Only Natural Cat Food: The Bottomline

Look, the bottom line with Only Natural cat food is that it is a quality food consisting of healthy ingredients and listed at an affordable price. However, it does have a few too many pea ingredients and can’t be easily found in local retail chains. However, if you want a relatively cheap and holistic brand of food, then I highly recommend giving this food a try.
