Questions & Answers

13 Customer Questions


Are the food pieces in the new classic formula less than a quarter of an inch across? In the old formula, the kibble was larger than that.

Answer by Chewy • Aug 11, 2019
This kibble measures 8.5 x 4.5 millimeters. While there was a packaging update, the formula is still the same.

What is the difference between this product and the indoor formula.

Answer by Chewy • Sep 10, 2019
Both formula are very similar, however the Chicken Soup for the Soul Indoor Dry Cat Food is designed for indoor cats.

On an as fed basis, this formula has approximately 1.10% phosphorus and 27.44% carbohydrates. On a dry matter basis, this formula has approximately 1.23% phosphorus and 30.48% carbohydrates.

Higher fat, happy cat

I was guided to this brand by a knowledgeable pet food store owner in Brooklyn, NYC, who showed me that it had the same ingredient list as the more expensive brand

I was guided to this brand by a knowledgeable pet food store owner in Brooklyn, NYC, who showed me that it had the same ingredient list as the more expensive brand I had been feeding my cat, Velcro, for many years. After a serious urinary tract issue, Velcro did well on Chicken Soup; but recently, supplies of the Senior Cat Hairball Formula became scarce, and I tried the Adult Formula. I checked with experts, both here and on other sites, about the danger of such a switch, and was told that while the fat content was quite a bit higher, the protein was about the same, so if Velcro tolerated the new food, it would be fine. He devoured it! He's almost 20, and, excepting a recent flea-induced bout of anemia, has weighed the same for many years. Though he has dental and vision issues, his penchant for flying-squirrel-like jumps remains undampened, and I expect this fine food to fuel many more takeoffs in the future.

Our cats are fat so we mix this 1/2 to 1/2 of the weight control Chicken Soup catfood. It's like mixing rice and french fries - they get a little of both. They love it and it's a great price and a wonderful food with many nutrients they need but no fillers and icky stuff they don't need. It's worth every penny we pay for it - we have healthy cats with beautiful coats. We also love some of the other holistic foods Chewy.com offers. We order for them exclusively. We do feed ferals but they get the outdoor feral catfood such as friskies, etc. It will do them well as I had an indoor cat that lived on it 19 years and was fine but it is less expensive and they don't belong to us; we just feel sorry for them. But this time for our indoor only cats we are going holistic and will see if it does them better in the long run. Most sites say it does so we spend the extra pennies. But whatever you choose to feed - Chewy.com has it all and the service and fast shipping is great. We order over 49 bucks each time and we get free shipping. How wonderful is that!!!!

We recently adopted Mya, a young 3 year old female Chocolate Seal Point Siamese from MIchigan Siamese Rescue. Based on their recommendation, we purchased this dry cat food for her. We found out two of our other cats (Coco [Siamese Seal Point] and Rocky [Snowshoe]) also like it. When checking ingredients chicken is the main ingredient. Definitely recommended.

Great food

I have 3 cats, one is diabetic and has food allergies. We've used Halo products exclusively for years but due to financial issues I decided to shop for something less expensive but I didn't want to sacrifice quality. I'd heard good things about this brand in the past and decided to give it a try. No regrets. Her diabetes symptoms are under control and she's had no allergic reaction (it's not labeled as being hypoallergenic, it just works for my cat), plus all 3 love it, even the picky one. I will continue to use this brand long-term. Good price & reliable shipping from Chewy, also glad autoship is available in increments of 2 weeks - having this shipped every 6 weeks seems about right.

I have been trying to get away from the cheap "big brand" foods for our four cats - the ones full of fillers like corn products. I tried Wellness Core which they ate, apparently because they had to since the "checkerboard" brand had been vanquished and there was nothing else to eat. WC has a lot of potato products in it and spuds give one of my cats gas - very bad, stinky gas. Of course, he's the one who likes to cuddle with me. It's too early to tell if the Chicken Soup brand is as healthy, or healthier that anything else but the ingredients look to be very good. And the cats sure love it. I have three bowls out, two with WC and one with CS. The latter empties out the fastest. Some of them even come running when they hear me filling it. I can't imagine what another reviewer was talking about when she said in her "honest review" that her cats didn't like it. She must have been feeding them pate foie gras and caviar previously - or is a shill for another cat food maker. My daughter has been feeding her cats CS brand food for some time now, her cats love it and they are healthy.

I had been feeding this food to my two cats for about six years and they've always done well on it. I knew it wasn't the best food out there but it was really good and extremely affordable compared to others. However along with the recent packaging change they must have changed something in the ingredients as well. I was delighted to see updated packaging (now it looks like it's from the 90's rather than the 80's! Catching up with the times slowly but surely) and bought it like usual. Scooped some of the food into my cats' bowl and they pranced on over, smelled it, took a small bite, then left. Odd but maybe they weren't hungry. Did the same thing for the next few days until I took the bag back to get an exchange thinking it was just a bad batch. This was from a different batch and they still weren't eating it. I did some research online and ended up settling on Orijen and Acana for their new diet. So far they've been gobbling that stuff up and even leaving out the pieces of the old food I had mixed in for the transition. Not sure what was changed since I don't have a list of the old ingredients but I was very disappointed that my cats will no longer eat this food.

Years ago I had a 20-year old cat that started losing weight, throwing up his food, and looked all-around unthrifty. I read some great reviews on Chicken Soup for the Soul, and found it at a local feed store. He tolerated it very well, and I was so happy not to be cleaning cat puke out of the carpet every day. Not only that, he put weight on, and his coat got glossy and dandruff-free again! Well, he's long gone, but we have more cats and now a dog, and that store closed down. Thanks to Chewy I can have it delivered to my door (we're very rural) and shipping is free - I always love that!

I didn't realize that my cat had been having a reaction to the dry food I was giving him, although he gladly ate it. Then a person suggested Chicken Soup for the Soul. Since my cat was having itching problems and kept licking the fur off his belly till it was pink, I decided to give him the new cat food without mixing it with some of the old one. To my surprise and relief, he practically "woofed" it down. He seems to love it, and all the ingredients are healthy.

I have done a lot of research on healthy cat and dog food, this brand is healthy but most importantly is affordable! I was feeding my dogs this brand (they eat it up like I'm feeding them milkbones) and was feeding my cats another brand, but some of my cats didn't seem to care much for the other stuff and were always sneaking food out of the dogs' bowls so I decided to try this food for my cats as well. They LOVE it! My older cat that typically doesn't like anything but wet food gobbles it up!
