ORIJEN Chunks & Shreds Wet Cat Food Variety Pack: Original + Duck & Liver Recipes, 3oz Cans (12 Count, 6 of Each)

ORIJEN is a great cat food brand. They are known for using quality ingredients and developing healthy recipes. This ORIJEN Chunks & Shreds Variety 12 Pack lives up to their reputation.These recipes have no grain, potato, carrageenan, pea, lentil or legumes and are 95% protein. They have “whole prey” ingredients, meaning they include not only meat but also organs. While they advertise that this includes “raw chicken and duck”, this is a shelf stable product in cans, so the contents are not raw.The contents of the cans include small morsels in a broth, topped with a small amount of shredded meat. The odor is not strong, so my husband did not have to leave the room as he does when I feed their usual canned meals.I started by dividing one can amongst five cats as a treat to test it. The one with duck turned out to be the favorite with my cats, but there were no leftovers of either recipe. My Sparky did have some digestive upset after eating this, but he does have a sensitive stomach and he may have eaten more than just his own portion.I also tried it out on the batch of feral kittens we have been caring for since they were born in our shed over the winter. They all were quite happy with it as well.I wish I could feed them this more often but, like all premium brands, while worth the price, it is too pricey for our multi-cat household.

If you’re familiar with the brand, you probably know that Orijen has a reputation for high-quality pet food, and in my experience, this wet food offering only serves to bolster that reputation. Seeing as it consists of 95% animal products, has an 85% moisture content, and lacks any unnecessary fillers, it’s hard not to be impressed.If the speed with which she gobbles them down is any indication, our cat also seems to be impressed by both flavors on offer here. Of course, she naturally goes for the gravy first, but even when she does walk away for a break, it’s not long before she’s back to clean her dish.Based on the quality ingredients and the response from our feline friend, I think it’s safe to recommend this food to just about any pet owner—if you can afford it. That’s probably the toughest thing for us, as at the recommended four cans per day based on our cat’s weight, it would cost a small fortune to feed this to our girl regularly.I can’t and won’t say anything bad about the quality of Orijen products, as they’re simply among the best at what they do. I’m just not sure I know many folks who could afford to spend as much feeding their pet as they do feeding themselves—and that’s the sole reason for my four-star rating. That said, if you can afford it, by all means, buy with confidence.

One of my 2 cats like this, looks and smells jsut like most other cans.

I started giving my cats the ORIJEN Wet Cat Food as a supplement to their regular meals, and they seem to like it. The pack comes with two flavors—Original Entrée and Duck & Liver Entrée—so there’s a little variety for them.The food is mostly made from meat, with 95% animal ingredients like chicken and duck. It doesn’t have grains, potatoes, or peas, which is nice if you’re avoiding those ingredients. It also has nutrients like Taurine and Vitamin A for eye health and Omega fatty acids for their skin and coat.So far, my cats eat it without hesitation, and I feel good knowing they’re getting quality ingredients. It’s a solid option if you’re looking for a wet food with a high meat content.

I love the all natural ingredients in this cat food, but it's not a hit with my picky cats. They love the gravy and the shreds but they won't eat the chunks. They lick up all of the gravy and leave the bowl dry, but the chunks stay behind. They also prefer seafood flavors and textures which is probably why they only like the shreds. I am not giving this a lower rating because I think it would be appreciated by other cats. It looks really fresh.

I'm torn on this review. This looks like obviously very good cat food. The meat is diced and there's a bit of gravy, there is a LOT more meat packed in here than in my usual cat food and other cat foods I've tried. The slick, metallic label and packaging all give "premium" feel.Unfortunately, none of my four cats liked either flavor at all. They licked the gravy and left the rest

I love that the list of ingredients is very meat forward. Yes there are other stuff added, but it's canned food, what else do you expect. My picky cats devoured this in record time. Could be because it's new food, or because they really like it, can't really tell for sure, but i can tell that they loved it, and it didn't give them any digestion issues. Yes the price point is pretty high, but i think it's acceptable given the high food quality

My very active orange cat was so excited as soon as she smelled the duck and liver flavor. I gave her a quarter of the can, and she inhaled all of it, and she ate most of another quarter can as well, so I figure you can get two meals out of each can, which makes the cost more manageable. (My cat also gets some dry food though, so it might be just one meal if your cat is only getting wet food.) The quality of the food seems pretty good, with defined meat bits in a broth and not just a slurry you get with other cheaper cat foods, and the ingredient list looks pretty healthy.
