0% Nonsense Food — My Cat Loves It!

I absolutely love Thrive cat food — and so does my cat! It’s one of the few brands I truly trust because it’s all about real, no-nonsense ingredients with nothing unnecessary added. You can actually see the quality in every bite, and my cat can’t get enough of it.
It’s such a relief to know I’m feeding something that’s genuinely good for her — simple, clean, and nutritious. No fillers, no gimmicks, just honest food that delivers exactly what it promises.
Highly recommend to any cat owner who wants quality over marketing fluff — Thrive really does live up to its name! 🐾

Your Cat food is great and our cat…

Your Cat food is great and our cat loves it. But, the packing of my parcel was not great. That is why I have taken a star away from my review. The parcel looked like it had been thrown around and had holes in the box and tins had dents in them.

No consistency

It’s such a shame that this is an inconsistent product.

My cats loved the white fish and chicken flavour. But the difference between batches is huge. I have just spent £40 on two tubs of chicken treats and the ones that have just arrived are very had and brittle with a funny smell. They won’t go near them.

I appreciate cats can be fickle but the product is too inconsistent to trust.

I won’t be spending £40 again just to throw them away.

What more disappointing is the complete lack of a response from thrive when I emailed about this.

Why would I waste more time emailing batch numbers for you not to reply again?

This isn’t an isolated incident. I threw away 2 tubs of white fish when I emailed you in July.

From delivery to the food, it has been quality all the way.

Have used Thrive for a few years now for my Feline companion wet food and chicken dry and treats. From delivery to the food, it has been quality all the way. Human grade meat and fish, grain free and packed with all the nutrients needed for cats. Thank you.

My cat absolutely loves the chicken treats. She won't eat any other brand though so the process must be different. Highly recommended for fussy kitties.

Excellent Cat Food - Awful New Tins

Our very fussy tom cat Nero won't eat anything but Thrive. We have just started using his latest batch of Thrive and the new tins are absolutely awful. The ring pull is so stiff it is hard to lift up and pulling the lid back almost impossible. When it does eventually give way it is so sudden, the lid flies off one way, the tin flies the other and the contents end up over hands and worktop. Please go back to the original tins, so easy to use.

Thrive chicken breast was very watery

Thrive chicken breast was very watery. Have been purchasing this for our Oriental cats for almost 10 years and once or twice every year the quality and consistency changes.

Wonderful product

I recently took my cat to the vet who coaxed her out of the carrier with some treats. I told the vet I normally gave her Dreamies, which the vet compared to giving a child a McDonald's! I went online and ordered the Thrive chicken treats. They arrived quite quickly and now madam won't eat her food, all she wants is the treats!!!

Thrive is certainly a premium product

Thrive is certainly a premium food for cats and ours really do wolf it down and really enjoy it. It important to provide the best food possible for our animals and Thrive is leaps ahead of supermarket and cheaper brands that are the equivalent of a constant fast food meal and are basically full of no proper nutrition. Thrive actually smells good enough for humans to eat although I probably wouldn't try.

Thoroughly recommend.

The removal of one star is due to dispatch times can vary and spending over £90 a month with Thrive directly, I'd really expect to see a delivery framework that gives free next day delivery when spending over a certain amount. I would also appreciate additional variety for kittens rather than just tuna or chicken and the website account management being linked to SHOP! is difficult to use.

Having been invited to the taster club…

Having been invited to the taster club I purchased some treats for my two cats, unfortunately after a week I emailed to say the treats I ordered stilled hadn’t arrived, I received an email back the same day and my order turned up the next day, unfortunately no treats from the taster club were included, I can only presume this was a marketing idea to allow people to buy something and not include them in their new promotion, so not really the best experience and I shall now stick to buying my own treats for my two from now on

£11 and the Cat won't touch it.

I've fed him Thrive before, the chicken flavor. This time I thought I'd try the Salmon Herring grain free dry food. He's never been picky, but I do spoil him. He always loves a fish option. I know cats won't starve themselves but he's so unhappy. I can't afford to throw away £11 on a very full bag of food.

Hello Adrienne,
I am very sorry that your cat isn't enjoying the salmon and Herring dry food. It sounds as if he prefers the chicken flavours.
Please let us know if you order from us again as we would love to send you a sample of something else to try. Are you able to donate the unused bag to a cat shelter so they can make use of it?
All the best,
Thrive
