My cat goes fanatical for these freeze dried products! While I'm preparing it he stretches up my leg and gives a little 'love' bite to say, "Hurry up!" which he never did with the canned stuff, and I was feeding him high quality cans too!
Yes there is a bit of prep with the patties, but if you love your furry friend it will be of little issue. What I do to speed up the process is break the patty into little pieces, then add some water and then continue to break the pieces with a fork until I get the right consistency. The whole process doesn't take longer than 3 minutes, but the rewards for your kitty are worth it! I highly recommend this product and will continue to be a returning customer.
