    My cat ate Meow Mix for 3 years and the bag I bought 2 weeks ago has made her violently ill. Vomiting bile & blood. She stopped eating. I took her to the vet and didn’t find any blockages or other issues. I changed the brand of food and she got better.

      My cat got sick with this food. He started throwing up and losing weight after a while. I won't recommend to give this food always, my cat eat this food for 3 years. The first year he was ok and the second year he lost hair and he got red spots on him, I searched if this was something normal, and it said that is not very normal.

      Have ordered for years to feed stray cats. Recent 32 pound bags from Sam's Club the kibble is a brown green color, not the usual orange red. Contacted manufacturer and no changes to product and they confirmed it should not look like this. I ordered and received product last week exp date mar 13, 2027. Returning to sams and told them they should discard the two bags I opened to see what color were the same weird green. Did not open third bag since all from same manufacturing plant. Have bought for years but not sure I will buy again.

      Having issues with larvae in the cat food which become IndianMeal Moths. I have found them in new bags purchased at Big Box stores. This is the second bag I have purchased with this issue. This is the first time I have had this issue after buying this product for years. They have lost my business. Quality sucks.

      Have no idea what is going on with the Meow Mix formula but it's made my cats very sick. One of our cats has had diarrhea, the runs and vomiting. The other has projectile vomiting. I have no idea what is going on with the food before we were able to utilize as a substitute for their normal food. We feed Meow Mix to the outside cats in our feral colony and had to do a quick sub for our inside cats due to financial circumstances and other factors like temporarily availability and shortages. Never again.

      My Maine Coon is so sick he farts. He has diarrhea and the poor cat cries that his tummy hurts. Never never again will be utilizing the product. I don't know what has changed but definitely not something we would purchase ever again. In fact we will be switching the ferals in our community cat colony out to another brand. We've even communicated with several other feral guardians in the area and we've all come together and decided not to ever feed me a mix again. Something about it is making the cats ill. I have no idea what it is. I know the cats that live inside have some sensitivities to grain but it has never never been this bad.

      The last two times I have purchased Meow Mix from a pet store I have found disgusting maggots coming out of the bag. I have indoor cats and feed them a higher quality of food but I buy the Meow Mix for the stray cat and other wildlife in my backyard. This company that makes this product obviously has a huge quality control issue at their facility. I believe the person in charge of oversight in quality & safety control is most definitely asleep at the wheel and needs to be replaced. Someone needs to do something about this company. It is unacceptable to spend money on cat food and all you get is a bag of disgusting maggots that is brought into your home then have to clean up. Animals deserve better than this.

      Meow Mix dry food has changed the 30 Pound crunches to a smaller nugget and the cats will not eat it. Why did you change the crunches to a small, harder nugget, and probably even change the flavor, going to have to purchase a different cat food.

      This brand has been bad for my cats because it gives them diarrhea, and dehydrates them. EVEN the stray cats Don't want to eat this food. The gravy is watery and nasty. As a cat owner, I highly recommend cat owners to steer away from Meow Mix. It is poor quality cat food and it gives cats diarrhea. For a little more money you can get quality cat food.

      I just bought a bag last night for my 5 indoor cats and all night and today 4 of them are vomiting bright orange. I wish I had read reviews before I bought it. I'm going to try to return it to the store or something. If I can't return it then it is going in the garbage! Many other people have reported that Meow Mix has made their cats vomit, caused kidney stones/urinary problems, or has caused the death of their cats.

      I have been feeding my cats Meow Mix for years with no problems. In the last week, I’ve noticed none of them will eat it. Even the strays outside won’t eat it! They have all been vomiting and I have one very sick right now. I had one healthy cat die last week and another tonight. Perfectly healthy, just dropped dead. I didn’t put it all together until now. Cats can sense things in foods we can’t. Maybe they stopped eating it because they sensed something was wrong? I can’t say 100% but I believe in my heart of hearts it’s the food. They’re 2 and 3 years old. I would not chance it with this food. I thought I was doing the right thing because they loved it. Now I’m scared to feed them anything. :(

      My cat was vomiting on the average of a few times per week. I finally figured out that the Meow Mix dry cat food was causing this. I have two cats, but only the one cat got sick from this food. I feed both a variety of different dry and wet foods. Once I took away the meow mix, my cat no longer was vomiting. The pieces are larger than many dry foods which may have been causing the problem, or there was something in the food that she couldn't digest.

      Meow Mix is an affordable brand for those with tight budgets, What I like about it is that they have different mixes for different age group for cats. If you're a pet owner who's concerned about what's in the food don't read the ingredients list! While it does have fish chicken broth and whitefish listed first, there's other ingredients that may make think about the more pricier products

      As proud cat owners of 30 cats we have always purchased Meow Mix dry for in the 32 pound bag either at Sam's Club or Walmart. We like that it comes in large (multi-cat) size, very convenient and the price point works for us. The cats seem to enjoy it, they are healthy and have beautiful coats of fur.

      Every cup I feed to my cats has a little piece of bone or multiple pieces. It’s kinda sad this company can sell this stuff. This quality in this wet food is terrible, I feel bad I ever fed this to my cats. I’m gonna start making real food for my cats. Not some random junk in a plastic cup with a fancy logo. All these random dyes and fillers make me sick. I wouldn’t eat this, why should my cats eat it. Sometimes my cats throw up from it. Not often tho.

      I recently got two kittens (and already have a one year old cat). I got them the Meow Mix dry kitten food and it’s disgusting. All my cats (even the babies) started throwing up, having diarrhea and either blood or red dye from food in their diarrhea. Their ** are irritated and red and they aren’t feeling well. They’ve been on it for TWO DAYS. I then did some research and saw other people having the same issues and some other cats have died from this disgusting food. Ingredients are trash. I don’t know how they can still sell this they should have multiple lawsuits! Awful product. Made all three of my babies sick. I’m disgusted.

      I've tried other brands including the store brands but my cat seems to prefer Meow Mix. She can't wait till it's time to eat. With the other brands, it's as if there's no excitement. She doesn't eat as much with the other brands, but she devours Meow Mix. Guess she's very picky... or that this brand is better tasting.

      I help with a feral colony and try and get the 16 pound bag. That’s the biggest size I can manage on my own. The product is one of the least expensive and the cats really like it.

      I have been giving my cat hairball control dry for years. She is a long hair and it decreased her vomiting. I also give her a Meow Mix wet food a few times a week. After doing some research I decided to switch her wet food. I’m going on 3 weeks now and can’t believe the increased amount of energy she has. It took her awhile to start eating the new wet food. Meow mix puts so much junk in there. I think she was kind of addicted to it, she didn’t want anything else which I also read about. It might sound crazy but I feel like she already so much healthier. She just looks more alert. Looking for a new dry food now also.

      The Meow Mix dry cat food causes my cats to vomit. We stopped feeding it to them and they stopped vomiting and seem to like their new food better. My husband mistakenly brought out the meow mix again and the dogs started eating it and they would vomit too along with horrible diarrhea. Finally figured out what happened and since throwing away all of the meow mix all of my pets are fine. I don't know what's in the stuff but it isn't safe for any animal to eat.

      I switched over to this brand because of the price I noticed that my cat started vomiting. Then the day before she died she slept all day with my family and peed in our bed. She ran to the basement and the next day when we came home we saw her laying on the blanket. I picked her up and she started meowing horribly. I brought her upstairs and put her in a blanket because she could not walk. Her Mouth tongue and nose and ears had no color. They were white. She laid on me and was panting then went into seizure. Vomited. Went back into a seizure and died. We were all crying and buried. She was my daughter's favorite cat. :( Please don’t this brand and look for something natural. I wish I read the reviews before buying it.

Now months later, me having the kitten, she's having same problem! As well using this brand, which my friend gave as a donation for taking her in. Poor thing been going for my other cats adult kit-dadoodle food brand instead. So I allowed my adult to have a little of what's left of the Meow Mix & is now getting the same smelly gassy flatulence!

      I have been buying this same brand for years now, my cat would only ever eat the Tender Favorites with REAL salmon & crab meat in sauce. I have always purchased in lots of 30 to 50 at a time, this last batch I have now opened 7 containers and have thrown out the remains of 7 containers after our cat has thrown up each time. When I took a good look at the container I noticed a sticker on the bottom saying Made in Thailand. I don't remember the previous containers having this sticker. Also the gravy is not the same anymore and the texture is completely different. I have 23 containers left which will be getting returned to the store. NO MORE MEOW MIX for my cat, she is too precious to us. This Company needs to do something about it.

      I have been feeding this brand (Meow Mix) to my cats for many years especially because they are so gosh darn picky. However, I recently noticed that my cats have been vomiting and having loose stool.
