Pretty good for the price
Smilla is a decent grain-free food and very reasonably priced. I have gotten it for my cats quite a few times.
Occasionally I will find a large piece of fat (1-2 inch) that hasn't been broken down properly. I tried to see if my cat could chew through it once, but it was discarded, and I fear could lead to a choking hazard if left unsupervised. It's quite prominent, so easy you pick out and discard before serving though, but just a rare annoyance with them.

Good quality great response
We have 4 cats all with different tastes but all really enjoy this food. It’s cost-effective and packaging is environmentally friendly, and we’ve never had issues (other than slight fat separating in some cans, but that just goes to our slimmest lad!). Group favourites are chicken with fish/duck, and 99/100 bowls are licked clean!

My cat would not touch it
He is not a picky eater. This food turns him away completely. At least dog loves it, so it won’t go to waste..

Not liked by all 7 cats!!
We have a household of 7 cats and none of them would touch this food! It’s cheap nasty pate type food. Don’t buy it!

Batch dependent
I started to believe that there must be some quality difference from batch to batch.
We have been buying Smilla for over 2 years and both cats would wolf a batch and then completely refuse another one.
I can’t explain it in any other way.
From wolfing one week to starving the next.

Dodgy Batches
Initially my cat loved this brand and cleared his plate every time. In the summer we placed a large order which he refused to eat. We noticed that the food smelt odd and the tops 'popped' like there was air in them. Zooplus replaced the entire batch, and the same thing happened. We thought maybe the heat had got to it in a warehouse so left it a couple months and then ordered more. Cat refuses to eat it and all the lids are 'popped' again, so have gone in the bin. giving up on this brand!

Delicious!
Our older (fussy) cat just loves this. It's a pate-style cat food which I think she prefers and because it's not full of jelly/gravy, you get a whole can full. We've tried the fish & poultry flavour and I'll definitely be ordering more. It's so tasty that I don't think it's a problem that all six cans are the same flavour, I was a bit worried we'd have to mix it up. Will be sure to try more flavours in future.

Makes cats vomit
I bought this food due to the higher meat content and lack of grains, but when I fed it to my two ragdolls they threw it back up about an hour after. My mum was looking after them and she fed the food to the local cat who eats all the leftover dinner scraps in the garden and it was also sick! My cats did get used to it, but this food smells awful and goes off very quickly.

Great find for diabetic cat parents on a budget
My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and I set out to change her diet to get her on the right track. Most widely-available supermarket foods are pretty rubbish with sketchy labelling and have grains/sugars/whatever else -- just not suitable for a diabetic. I was happy to find Smilla has a high declared meat content without grains, sugars, or other fillers, and at a great price. I add a little water, and the cat gobbles it up without any GI issues or sugar spikes. Her new go-to food!

Good quality cat food
Our cat is quite fussy and isn't keen on the tuna but she loves the limited edition poultry with veal and it doesn't have the normal cat food smell- it smells good enough for humans to eat too! Will continue to buy.

Tuna! Smells great, looks like fish not corn beef!
My 2 cats loved the tuna. I was very impressed by the smell, consistency and price.

Tuna is a hit
My two moggies really like the Tuna (only) version of this food. The food itself looks just like human grade tuna but is darker in colour. I feed them this every couple of days as a change to their other wet foods that are chicken based.

Couldn't be better.
I'm a relatively new cat owner and have been following the crowd and adverts mistakingly believing that some pet foods were good for my kitties. It wasn't until I read the ingredients and discovered I was feeding my babies complete rubbish that I started looking for an alternative that was nutritious, tasty and had a decent meat content whilst being affordable. What I was surprised at was that even some of the 'recommended by vets' food was still low in meat content and full of grain and additives. I have already been using Zooplus for a long time buying decent litter so I decided to look at their food range and came across Smilla. The difference has been immediate. Their coats are shiny, they go for it as if they are piranhas and they adore this food. What Ive found is that they need less as its more nutritious. Their poo's are more compact and they no longer smell bad. I'm using both Smilla adult and Kitten as I have both and I would recommend it to everyone who has cats. It smells good enough for humans to eat and doesn't make me feel ill first thing in the morning when I have 4 cats crawling all over me wanting to be fed. If you are unsure, just give it a try-I promise you, your kitties and your purse-wont be disappointed!!

We love Smilla!
This is undoubtably the best quality food I have ever fed my cats, forget all the fancy adverts for supposedly amazing but expensive cat food packed with cereals, this knocks spots of it! Very high fish content and zero grains or fillers, my bengals sensitive tummy loves it and so does she. Since changing from "high street brands" to this, her dull lank greasy coat now gleams, her bloated tummy has deflated and her naughty streak has returned alive and in abundance. I cannot rate Smilla highly enough, its simply fab, so good I've even considered putting it in hubby's sandwiches!

Fish Cat food
My cats love this. Really impressed that it has actual fish in, as are my cats!

Smilla Fish Pots
Very good quality food, the cats love it! It fills them up for longer than supermarket foods do as the meat content is much higher.
Very satisfied and will use Smilla all the time from now on.

The best food on the market 1000/10!
I have a Bengal who has a very sensitive tummy and cannot eat grains. Until I put her on Smilla she was lethargic with dull fur and continual diarrhoea. She has been eating Smilla with gusto for the last year and is a different cat, very mischievous, glossy coat and solid poo's. The food looks and smells amazing and is grain free. I highly recommend it (so does the dog!)
