Darwin’s Intelligent Diet is good food

I am very happy with Darwin’s intelligent diet that I’ve been feeding my cat for over two years. My cat has CKD lost a lot of weight on another wet, but not raw food I was using. Darwin is a very responsive company and it’s nice that they also provide a pet line for medical information to customers who subscribe to their food service.

Have you changed your formula in your cat food?? I have noticed their eyes don't seem as bright, their fur doesn't seem as shiney, your chicken formula has SO much fat in it anymore, and now they are refusing to eat it!

Hi Alannah,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing this. I can imagine how frustrating it must feel to see changes in your cats’ appetite, coat, and overall brightness, especially when they’ve been doing well on the food before. I have forwarded your review to the CS managers, who will be contacting you this week to talk about what you're seeing with the cat chicken. Thank you.

High-Quality Food My Cats Love, but a Few Cons

I’ve been using Darwin’s for both their standard poultry formulas and their prescription Kidney Health options, and overall I’ve been very satisfied. The quality of the food is noticeably high, and most importantly, my cats genuinely enjoy eating it. Since switching, I’ve seen consistent healthy body weight, good bathroom habits, and they even seem to drink less water—likely because of the moisture content in the food.

One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed is in their litter box. When my cats eat other brands, the change in stool and urine quality and smell is immediately noticeable—in a bad way. With Darwin’s, everything is much more consistent and noticeably improved.

That said, I’m giving 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5. I’m aware there have been past recalls and quality issues with some dog and cat batches, which gives me some pause. Additionally, with the kidney formula specifically, there have been a few times where the quality seemed off enough that my cats wouldn’t eat it. To their credit, Darwin’s customer service was excellent and sent replacements at no cost, which I really appreciated.

Overall, I trust the product and will continue using it, but I do hope to see continued improvements in consistency and quality control.

Hello Kenny,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. It’s wonderful to hear how well both the standard poultry formulas and the Kidney Health diet have supported your cats, from maintaining a healthy body weight to improved litter box consistency and overall enjoyment of the food. Those day‑to‑day changes you’re seeing, especially with moisture intake and stool quality, are exactly the kinds of improvements we hope these diets provide.

I also appreciate your acknowledging the responsiveness of our customer service team when something hasn’t seemed quite right. We’re glad the replacements were helpful, and your feedback about occasional inconsistencies is important. While we’re grateful for your trust and long‑term use of the food, we also take seriously the responsibility to continue strengthening quality control so every batch meets the standard your cats are used to.

Your balanced perspective — recognizing what’s working while being honest about what you hope to see improved — is incredibly valuable. Thank you again for being a dedicated customer and for sharing your experience so clearly.

Leaving 2 stars because the shipping and packaging. But my cats won’t touch it. Got 2 flavors, beef and turkey, I have 2 cats, they mostly eat wet food, but from time to time they get fresh meat, and that food they are just not want to eat , sniffed and walked away.. I tried to brown int a little on the pan - still nothing..for sample they should offer smaller options, now I’m stuck with 10lbs of cat food…

Mo,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly sorry your cats haven’t taken to the food yet. Many cats who normally enjoy wet food or even fresh meat still hesitate with raw at first because it doesn’t match the sensory profile they’ve imprinted on. Cats learn to recognize their food based on smell, texture, taste, and even temperature. When something new doesn’t match what they’re used to, their instinct is to sniff it and walk away. It’s a completely normal reaction, even for cats who aren’t usually picky.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

My cat will eat the food. Yay!

# 1 reason for the rating is that my cat likes the food. The packaging is just right for 1 cat. I would prefer more variety, but realize that is likely unrealistic. So I'm still doing a homemade diet with reduced phosphorous. More training for your customer service department would increase the rating to a 5. A supervisor interceded and my order went through without a hitch.
