| Birdfeather's Full Review: Purina Tender Vittles Gourmet Flavor Dinner |
If you have been reading my reviews for awhile you may remember reading about Patches, a beautiful persian cat that adopted us last year. Patches came from a neglected home and was underweight. Since he is a persian cat, some and most dry cat foods was too hard for him to eat, hence my purchase of Tender Vittles Gourmet Flavor Dinners. Patches had no trouble eating this food and added put on some weight!
Why Tender Vittles Is Exceptional
Most cat and dog foods contain fillers, artificial colors and/or artificial flavors. Tender Vittles Gourmet Flavor Dinners contain no added artificial colors or flavors. It is also made into a moist formula which makes it easy for any cat or weaning kitten to eat. Tender Vittles comes in easy to serve pouches which makes feeding your cat easy as pie, just open a pouch and pour into the bowl. Since each serving is sealed in individual pouches it remains fresh until it is served to your cat. Each box of Tender Vittles contains 8 pouches of food. Total weight of the package is 12 ounces.

The "Patches" Taste Test
Patches loves his Tender Vittles Gourmet Flavor Dinners. When Patches first came home with me he ate and ate. He couldn't get enough food. He was severely underweight and I let him eat 3-4 times a day for the first week and then put him on a regular schedule of two feedings a day. Tender Vittles Gourmet Flavor Dinners has helped Patches gain weight and also helped make his coat more healthy looking. I have tried other brands and flavors of cat food for Patches but this one is his all-time favorite. He eats all the food in his serving each time he is fed Tender Vittles Gourmet Flavor Dinners where other brands he will turn into a finiky cat!

Final Thoughts
I give Tender Vittles Gourmet Flavor Dinners 4 stars only because it does contain by-products. Otherwise, taste and quality passes Patches' taste test just fine.
