  Has made such a difference in my cats' health June 11, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
For years I struggled with trying to help my obese cats lose weight -- they were very restricted in how much they were allowed to eat, but just couldn't stop gaining the pounds. I was feeding them what I thought was a high-quality food, Nutro, especially given the price. The vet suggested I switch to all wet, which I did but they still didn't lose any weight. Finally the vet suggested a grain-free diet, and I began purchasing Innova Evo. WOW, what a difference! It did take about 2 months to adjust the cats to the new diet...which I did by feeding them a mixture of Innova (non-grain free) and Innova Evo grain-free, but each week scaling back the amount of non-grain free. Both cats have really started dropping weight at a healthy rate. But that's not even the most amazing change. One of our cats had always had bad dander, but after switching her food the dander has completely cleared up, and her fur is so soft! Our other cat had episodes of not only chewing her paws, but of throwing up her food. The chewing has stopped and she hasn't regurgitated once since the food change. The only down side is how strongly the food smells, but they use the litter box less, so it's a trade-off.
 This Food Will Change Your Cat's Life! January 23, 2008

When my cat suffered severe weight loss due to vomiting after a misdiagnosed case of bladder stones, I did extensive research on what the best possible food would be to nurse him back to his former self. EVO dry, Orijen dry and Nature's Variety dry were the three foods that I chose, and both of my cats preferred the taste of EVO (though I'd recommend any of them as excellent grain-free choices). I wanted to integrate canned food in order to help him keep up the best urinary health I could. Unfortunately, he is not a fan of canned food. Until I tried the EVO canned formula! He loves it, especially when I add an extra half can of warm water to the food. It's packed full of nutrition, protein and lots of all-important moisture. Try it and you will definitely see an improvement in your cat's health (skin, coat, energy level -- everything). The first time my other cat tasted it she meowed at me for 15 minutes while licking her chops as if to say, "Yum!"
THE BEST CAT FOOD - PERIOD December 16, 2007

I have four older cats. One of them seemed very, very ill. Two of them had horrible skin. I changed their food to this after a trip to the vet. Within a week - their skin was healthy again & they just looked gorgeous. This is worth the $. More than any of the Iams, Science Diet - any of them. This is what cats would eat in the wild. I am one of the cheapest people on the planet - but this is worth my hard earned $. AND is way cheaper than a trip to the vet. I truly believe this food saved my cat's life.
Extremely picky eater loves this food October 12, 2007

My cat is extremely picky when it comes to food - I had to get a new brand of cat food each month or two, and he would only eat wet food that's sliced or cubbed in gravy. After the poisonous wheat glutten incident I had to stop feeding him those cuts and gravy style foods because all of them contain wheat glutten. Even if they are not contaminated I still feel uneasy about it. So I research all of the web and found this unique food. It's not available in regular stores so you have to go to their website to find specialty stores that carry them. Anyway, I was so happy to see that my cat loves this food, both the dried and the mushy canned version. I now feed him 1 can of EVO wet food and some dried EVO kibbles plus low-sodium chicken stock (he won't drink plain water) each day. It's been 3 months since I switched his food and he still seems to love it. In fact, he's getting FAT on this diet because I over fed him (he asks for food whenever I go to the kitchen, and he gives me that sad look so I feel guilty if I don't feed him). I am starting to cut down on his ration and minimize my trip to the kitchen. I also hope the cooler weather will encourage him to go out more and burn off those extra calories.
I read a lot about benefits of this food but honestly only my cat knows. His fur is very soft but not really shiny (don't remember if it was ever shiny). Don't know about litter box odor because he goes outside. Energy-wise, well, he's a lazy cat and sleeps a lot and nothing can make him run a marathon.
Great for my picky 7 year old September 25, 2007

When I ordered this food, I was expecting to wait longer than usual for it to arrive, but it came in less than one week. I was also worried that my 2 cats, especially the older 7 year old, would not eat it, because since Petco stopped stocking Innova pouches, their favorite food before the pet food scare in early 2007, I've had some problems finding a reliable replacement.
I decided to upgrade their food to something more nutritious, and tasty, away from Science Diet, which had been their emergency food replacement, and Innova was recommended on a holistic pet nutrition website, as an all wet foot diet (which is supposed to be the next best thing to a raw food diet), so I bought a case on Amazon, hoping for the best.
When I opened the can, the cat seemed more interested in sunning at first, but then was soon seen eating half the can, much more than she usually eats.
The food has 12% protein content, while Science Diet is only 9%. It also has Vitamin E, amino acids, mineral chelates, and some vegetables that are good for carnivores. It doesn't contain any grains or meat by-products, but does have carrageenen, which I believe is a thickener, but I could be wrong.
Overall I'm very pleased with this product. I will be ordering again from this merchant because the process went so smoothly and it arrived at my door sooner than expected.
