    This has worked great for my two couch potatos. Just wish I could purchase in a larger bag.

    Why is this food so hard to find? They only make a small bag which is annoying enough but I can only find it at Petco online, WHEN it is in stock AND you can only buy one bag at a time. Ridiculous- what gives Tiki Cat???

    Larger bag size please!

    My cats love it. We have one who is very picky, one that is a little picky & they don’t always like the same thing, but they like this! Just wish it came in a larger bag as this won’t last long.

    Bigger Bag Please

    Blair

    My two cats are losing weight steadily on this food, but it get so expensive having to buy a lot more smaller bags than one big bag (compared to the price of the regular tiki cat dry kibble). Please make this into a bigger size for my wallet and cats sake!! Other than the bag size and price, this food is perfect!

    LARGER BAGS PLEASE

    MyThreeCats

    I love your foods, & so do my cats… & this less fat recipe has really helped with two of my chubbier indoor only kitties… I didn’t really notice until I was not able to find it anywhere & bought your regular recipe in a nice big 11lb bag. Sure enough, my big boy is noticeably bigger… PLEASE make this in larger bags! I can’t help but notice that I am not the only one who has shown interest…

    My cat lost two pounds!

    hs

    At my last visit eight months ago the vet told me my cat was over two lbs overweight and with her asthma it was important for me to control it. I put that to heart and switched her food to this Light Turkey recipe dry food as well as to the Special Light turkey recipe wet food. Today we had another vet check up and the vet was so happy to see she lost two lbs on her diet and is now in her perfect health weight range. She also got a great bill of health. The vets even asked me again what food she was on and I was happy to tell them Tiki Cat.

    Satisfied

    Gwen

    This product is excellent for my chubby kitty and the calorie count and fiber allow her to have a normal portion and she even leaves a few pieces for later because the compulsion isn’t present when she eats this food ..and guess what ,even though it’s a small bag Petco has made that work by offering great discounts!! Check them out..you won’t be disappointed ?

    PLEASE SELL A LARGER BAG

    Patti Rothbell

    My 5 cats LOVE this food. It gets real expensive, though, with a 2.8 lb bag being the only option.

    Senior Shelter Chonker Loves This!

    Kmom

    I recently adopted a beautiful shelter cat who had been in a shelter for several years. She is 8-10 years old (conflicting documentation) and overweight. She was on another premium brand “light” food, due partially to a history of digestive issues, which has a high grain content. I am in the process of expanding her diet and transitioning gradually toward lower carbohydrate dry food and also wet food. She showed a preference for the Tiki Cat when mixed with her old food from the very first serving and is having no apparent digestive issues with the transition. I plan to keep her on this for a while, then transition to a combination of wet foods and regular Tiki Cat dry food. Thank you!

    Bigger Bag Needed!!!

    Mara

    This food is great! It’s helped my cat lose weight and is the only “light” food I’ve found that doesn’t upset her stomach. But the bag is so small!!! Please make a larger bag!!!

    Wonderful for Heavy and Hungry Cats

    Matt

    Fantastic food for my guy on a weight loss program. He has no trouble making it between meal times without long sessions of ” Singing the Songs of His People” as hungry chubby cats on a diet often do. Sure wish it came in a larger size AND was more often distributed to stores that carry their other varieties.

    Love it, need a bigger bag!

    Salem’s Mom

    My cat loves this food and has lost weight on it. His coat is glossier and he seems healthy and full of energy. PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A BIGGER BAG!!! It’s my only complaint. I struggle as a pet parents to keep up with ordering the little bags.
