9Lives Cat Food Reviews

We ran out of my cat’s usual food so I stopped at Walgreens on the way home & picked up a couple cans of 9Lives. We fed him half a can & went to bed. Within 3 hours he violently threw up (he’s never thrown up) & was extremely lethargic. He’s been sleeping all day, has no interest in food, & has thrown up bile & had diarrhea. I feel dumb not googling the food before I bought it. How is this company still in business? Disgusting. Never again!!

I went on vacation and my asked my mom to buy my cat her food, she got a bag of 9Lives and it’s been about three weeks since my cat started eating it, she got sick vomiting after her meals. I couldn’t understand what it was and found out a lot of bad reviews on this brand. Thank gosh she is okay. They should banned this product!

I have 20 feral cats. I like to feed them food they will like and I am retired do I need food that is good and will work in my budget. I had been giving them a mix of food with the 9lives tuna and egg. Then I came across the Morris's catch. They ate the dry food mix good before, but now they really go for it. When I put it down for them to eat, they jump on it like they are starving. I think this food is just as good as any other. I like it and my cats do too. Thank you

It's been a year now and I'm only finding out these reviews. Everything that everyone described from finding bones in the can just before taking him to the ER to throwing up to after every meal and the fact that he developed kidney problems ... all in hindsight makes sense. It's been a year since my cat died and we could never pinpoint the cause. How 9Lives gets away with murdering so many cats is beyond me. It's not as though they don't know.

I recently bought a case of can food for the many strays around my house. Only one cat ate and all others turned their nose up. After reading other reviews about cats getting sick and dying, I will not buy 9 Lives can food again.

5 of cats have ate this food to come home after work after a few days of eating the cat food to find them all dead on the floor. The only cats remaining are the 3 that refused to eat it. Please don't buy this product. Family isn't worth losing like this.

I have given my cats 9Lives for years without any problems. I now have 3 cats with severe diarrhea, vomiting and lethargy. After several hundred dollars treating them for parasites and a trip to the vet I realized this started after the food packaging changed. After a little research I discovered there was a change in ownership. Since then numerous people have complained it made their pets very sick and even death in some cases. Please do not give your pets this food.

I purchased 9Lives Cat Food twice and both times it made my kitten sick. The first time him started vomiting and the second time he had diarrhea and was lethargic. Do not buy this food for your kittens.

I had 5 8 week old kittens. They was healthy before I started feeding them 9 Lives and they started to get sick and 2 has passed away after eating the food. I will not buy it anymore and hope others stop buying it.

All 3 of my cats started having diarrhea which turned bloody. I switched their food from 9Lives and 5 days later none of them have diarrhea. My older cat was so sick I thought we were going to lose her. She's now back to normal running and playing as before I started feeding her 9Lives.

It is too rich for my cats. Within five minutes of eating they will vomit the food back up. Generally this is on the pates, but the hearty chicken cuts can bring the same results also. In the pates it appears the supper super makes them vomit the most.

I am absolutely disgusted with 9Lives. I buy this for my 3 cats, went to get them fresh food and there were clumps of mold in the bag. I have been feeding this to them for 2 weeks. They can get sick. Never again will I buy from 9Lives.

I normally feed my cat special kitty can cat food. I broke my ankle and had to go to Family Dollar for cat food.. I got 9 Lives can.. A few minutes after she ate it she was throwing up and then had diarrhea.. Don't buy this cat food.

I always buy 9 Lives Meaty Pate with Real Tuna and Shrimp. It is bought as somewhat of a special treat food for my 2 cats. They love love it. Or at least they did until this afternoon. I opened a can from a new delivery and it just wasn't the same at all!!!! I gave it to them, maybe I am wrong, and the 2 of them didn't even come near the bowls. It's still sitting there. I know know that this is not the same product. What can I do?? I am so mad. I bought a lot from Chewy. How can I return heavy amounts of food. I really need an answer. Maybe they mislabeled the cans. HELP.

My cat is a beautiful healthy indoor 9 year old who has never been sick! My cat was HEALTHY AND FINE in the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds leading up to eating that poison of a can this company calls "food." I bought a can for my cat because the shop I was in didn't have his regular cans. I thought why not, he's had the 9Lives dry food plenty of times. When his 9pm dinner time (Wednesday.) approached I gave him quarter a can and let him be. 15 minutes later I came back to pick his bowl up and found him laying there with vomit surrounding him. His head was wobbly, his eyes were going back and forth. He got up and couldn't walk straight. He was stumbling and falling over himself like he was drunk.

Normally, I feed my cat Friskies, but I found Tuna & Egg by 9 Lives and thought my cat might like it. I gave it to her, and she started vomiting shortly after. She has started itching all over and has sores on her skin. She is just not herself. I decided to look on the Internet to see if other people had this experience with 9 Lives. My heart is broken. So many cats have been sick and suffered due to this food. I called my cats vet, but they can’t get her in until the end of the month. I’m so scared. I don’t want my cat to die. Something is wrong with this food and this should be stopped.

I'm am surprised to read that some folks cats will eat this because my cats over the years have all refused to touch it. They simply sniff and walk away. Something is definitely wrong with this company's cat food and seems they are out to kill rather than help cats with their food. Please avoid at all costs. Friskies is the best affordable option.

My cat is 13 years old and has never had any health issues. After eating food from this bag of Plus Care cat food, she’s lost weight due to not eating, been lethargic, and hiding from us. I noticed moths in the airtight container in which we keep the food. Even after getting rid of them all, when we would close the container and open it the next day, tons of moths would fly out. I’m confident they were in the food all along. I guess that’s why my cat won’t eat it and why, when she’s starving and finally does, it makes her sick. I’m an angered pet owner!!!

I currently have 3 cats, 20+, 18 and 13 years old. They have all been fed 9Lives dry & pate foods their whole lives. The only other dry food they will eat is Dad's. They choose to go hungry instead. They grudgingly will also eat Friskies pate, but only if 9Lives is not forthcoming. They believe in 9Lives, so I do also.

Please Don't feed your animals 9Lives canned food. It made both my cats repeatedly regurgitate, they've been throwing up all over the house right after eating this. I only bought one 12 pack. They always are Friskies before and I thought I would try 9 Lives because it too was inexpensive. I just switched back, I hope my cats recover from this, so far had to clean up 5 throw ups. This has Never happened before and my cats are only 3 and 4 yrs. old.

This food is dangerous & ended up in tragically making one of our cats to pass away. Ever since switching to this food he got sick and today he died. I want to warn all cat owners. Please be careful if you purchase this!

Usually my cat eats either Iams or Purina's Urinary Tract Health hard food. We couldn't really afford those options starting late 2019, maybe early 2020, so we started getting less expensive bags & experimented with the different options & seeing what he seemed to like best. Once we tried the 9 Lives Indoor Formula. Not long after, my cat started getting sick. We were moving at the time, so at first I thought maybe the stress was getting to him, or his age (8 years), or a toothache, or such. I then got him wet food and kept him on that for a few days, slowly introducing the hard food back in. The problem, repeated, but it was a small bag, so we were quickly out of it. My friend mentioned her cat being allergic to a dye that some foods had in them. So I thought it was that. She gave me some food to get me through another week or so. Then, my boyfriend accidentally bought the same kind of food AGAIN!

45 years I used 9 Lives Cat Food, not no more. They must have changed the formula. Even the dog turned his head away from the can. I called Heart Pet Foods & asked what was going on. THEY hung up on me. Pate is ** in a can. I had cats get sick. Now I know why. Recall your so-called 9 lives. They will lose the other 8 live if they eat heart pet food. The message is a clear. Recall your can pet food. The dry 16 lbs is fine. ROBERT **. MEATY PATE HEART CUTS TENDER MORSELS AND THE NEW PROTEIN PLUS I TRIED THEM ALL. A CAN OF PET FOOD SHOULD NOT STINK STANK STUNK GOODBYE.

I have had 3 cats. I always fed them 9 Lives Daily Essentials. They would refuse anything else. In September I had to put my female cat to sleep after she got very sick from an unknown illness. She had horrible breath and would regurgitate after eating within minutes. Her weight diminished quickly and she gave up eating altogether.

Do not buy 9Lives for your cat. I bought the 9Lives protein plus dry food for my cat and soon after my cat started throwing up and he got very fatigue. Well he died today which is Christmas Eve because of the 9Lives food. This all happened within 36 hours. This food is poison!!! So heartbroken.

I was given some of this cat food by a friend, and I fed it to my cat for 3 days, he began to violently vomit and had severe diarrhea. After 3 days I stopped feeding my cat the food. He did not get better, he began to scream for food all the time, as if he was starving. For 3 weeks he continued to vomit a couple times a day and the diarrhea continued. It was so horrible, it literally smelled up the whole house when he went poo. He lost a ton of weight, and started to poo outside his box. Just an awful experience. I tried everything. I put him on a boiled chicken diet, gave him probioticcs, gave him chicken broth via a syringe to keep him hydrated.

My dad bought the 9 Lives dry food. My cat ate it and now we are at the vet because his colon is inflamed. We are looking at $1500 - $3000 worth of vet bills. He was fine before we started feeding him this, one day on it and now he is at the vet. DO NOT FEED THIS TO YOUR PETS!

If you love your cat do not feed them any 9lives products. When I adopted a recuse 9lives was the first food I tried. She immediately started throwing up but I had been told the other cats were pushing her away at feeding time so I assumed it was because she learned if she could eat fast enough she'd at least get something. I bought her a slow feed bowl and she still continued to throw up. Changed the food and she stopped. I accidentally ran out of cat food and realized I had a sample bag figuring it would get me through the night. Lo and behold 5 mins after eating the 9 lives she started throwing up. Looking at all the other reviews I'm not sure how this brand hasn't been pulled from the shelves. Moral of the story is don't feed it to your cats.

My cat ate 9Lives Homestyle Classics case the pate. Made her start throwing up and diarrhea! If you have this issue call 188 496-4837. The Hearty Cuts she didn't throw up or diarrhea! Bought it at BJ's! So call 9lives!

This only got 1 star 'cause I had to pick something in order to post! I beg of you if you feed your pets this stop immediately! I have fed my cats 9Lives wet food for years. Recently my cats have gotten sick and then my dog ate it and also is sick. 2 of my 3 cats have died after eating it and my dog is looking like she may not make it even after hundreds of dollars of vet bills. This needs to be recalled before any other pets suffer!
