Tasty Thursday

Newton: What’s in the package? We heard that there were some Natural Balance Platefulls on the way from Chewy.com for us to sample. Is this it?

NB-01

Hurry, hurry, before Pierre or Ashton wakes up. I don’t want to have to share with them!

NB-03

Do I have to pick just one? They all look so good!

NB-04

Umm… oops. Okay, how about the Turkey, Chicken and Duck flavor?

NB-05

The first ingredients on the label for this food are turkey broth, turkey, chicken liver, duck, and chicken. No mystery meat. They also contain no corn, soy, or wheat. Also, no carrageenan, which is hard to find.

Newton: Hey, who invited you, Pierre? Get your own plate!

Ashton: Too bad this isn’t smell-o-vision. This Chicken and Salmon Forumula in Gravy is amazing.

NB-08-CkSalmonGvy-Ashton

At Newton’s request, Pierre got his own plate of Chicken and Giblets Formula in Gravy, and soon, there was nothing but the steady slurping sound of happy cats eating.

Newton won a special award as messiest eater. This illustrates why he usually eats from a much deeper bowl.

Pierre: Are you going to finish that?

Everyone: I want to taste yours. Switch bowls!

The Natural Balance Platefulls were a hit. We’re still in the process of transitioning from a dry food diet to a soft food diet, and this is a lot more than we usually eat at a sitting. We ate most of the three packets we had during the taste test, and we liked them so much, we will have to paw wrestle to see who gets the fourth one for breakfast tomorrow.

NB-13 Leftovers

These are also packaged in handy plastic packets instead of cans. While our paws can’t open either one, cats like us who live in hurricane-prone areas and and have evacuation kits will benefit from having these lightweight packets instead of cans.

Overall, we give the Natural Balance Platefulls six paws up! Thanks for introducing us to these, Chewy.com!

    Newton must have really enjoyed the broth, judging by how he nosed the chunks off the place. MOL!
    Mommy wishes more companies would remove carrageenan from their canned food. We love Spot’s Stew but sadly they aren’t available here (Daddy brought it home from the US during his last trip).

    Mum has got us some organic chicken and turkey food to try. There are some other flavours too but she only sent for two in case we wouldn’t eat it. We think it is very delish.
    Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

    Newton, you made my mom laugh right out loud!

    We’d probably just eat the gravy part.

    I gotta say I really don’t like Chewy since what they did to Abby. Did that food have peas and carrots? Gasp! Enjoy your dinner.
