    This food my cat vomit regularly. It is not goo food! I thought it was initially a problem with switching the cat food even though i did it slowly so I bought a second bag. Vomiting continued every few days. As soon as I switched him back to his old food it stopped.. do not buy this it will make your pet sick!
