I originally had a different kitten food, very similar quality and ingredients, but I accidentally forgot to bring the bag with me when my kitten Layla and I went on vacation. There were no pet stores within a decent driving distance, so I ended up going to Kroger not that concerned since it would only be a few days without her regular food. I chose this based on the ingredients, and MY CAT WILL NOT EAT ANYTHING ELSE NOW. So once I got home I tried to feed her her regular food, that she had been happily eating for months, and she REFUSED. She will now only eat this food. I then did a lot of research on it, as I had done for the other one, and thankfully it is a very high quality, so that's all I buy now! The ingredients in this compared to the other were very similar, so I think it's the shape/texture that made her like it much more. They are tiny little round pieces instead of the 3 legged X type shape. I am unsure but regardless my kitten LOVES this food, and I am going to continue her on it and switch to the same brand adult when she is older.
