Novel protein except the fish oil

Corrie

7 months ago
This would be great except it contains fish oil which makes it not really a novel protein - fish isn't novel.

Finally found a food that my special needs cat can tolerate as he’s allergic to everything!! He’s 21 months & just under 3lbs. In 3 days he’s gained 3.9 oz which is absolutely amazing!! I hope this item never goes away!!!

Worked until the dryness caught up

My kitty is allergic to everything under the sun. But this one actually didn't cause diarhea OR make her itchy. The problem came though, when she got so constipated she almost had to have surgery. Unfortunately the kibble are just -so- dry that it dried her up inside too apparently. I tried soaking some in water to make a mash, but even then it only became rubbery instead. Over all this would have been THE fix for her finally, but she just couldn't make it work in the end. Would try a wet version if its ever available!

Both cats loved it…but it didn’t agree with one kitty

My kittens have had constant GI issues since they were kittens. My vet switched them to this food in attempt to fix their tummy issues. One kitten was doing FANTASTIC but the other ended up getting colitis from the switch….they have had so many issues it might be them and not the food. I would have given 5/5 stars if both kittens could have eaten and stayed on this food.

My cat loves this

My cat, Bach, was diagnosed with IBD 2 months ago. Since he has had allergies for years, his dermatologist and internist think a food allergy may be contributing to the inflammation and advised trying a novel protein. It has been a bit difficult finding novel proteins that he likes. He loves this and also does not mind the hydrolyzed fish kibble (he will not eat the canned version). My other cats also love to steal this food. I wish the canned NP alligator were available. Also, would prefer if this did not have potato and pea protein.

Probably a lifesaver for my cat with IBD

nhcitymouse

First of all, this is very expensive food, so that is a negative point. Beyond that, however, since my cat *needs* a novel protein diet, I have to say that this alligator food has probably literally been a life saver. Before our vet and I knew this food existed, we tried my cat on several other brands and flavors and he didn't take to any of them - at least not for any length of time. He would seem to like them for a little while, but not be too excited about them, and then abandon them within days, or weeks. Well, that was not the case with this alligator food - he has been eating it willingly for months and months - and I believe I am currently on my third bag. My vet and I have both expressed how grateful we are that the BB rep came in and told them about this alligator flavor - without it, I don't know where we would be in my cat's treatment at this point, if anywhere.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great for cats with food allergies

Mother Fonzy

I learned about the alligator cat food at my vet’s office. The entire staff was using it for their dogs and I decided to try it for my finicky cat. She has IBD and can only have novel proteins. It’s now her favorite dry food. Highly recommend.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Cat with Irritable Bowel needs novel protein diet. Probably good food but wouldn't touch it...even with just a little mixed in with his other kibble

No, I do not recommend this product.
