animonda Carny Adult 6 x 400g

I tried a few varieties of these after moving on from the single protein version when reintroducing foods after trial elimination diet. She wasn't as impressed with these as the single protein ones and I needed up having to give most of them away. Probably more as she also started to be treated for overactive thyroid so became even more picky. Even after a month's break and tried again and she wouldn't eat them. The cats the food was donated to ate happily

I have a cat that is allergic to chicken & poultry. I thought animonda Carny beef varieties were the answer to my prayers & it was…..my cats skin was perfect!! And then my cat started biting & scratching himself raw again just as the packaging changed. To my horror the recipes have changed & now in the ingredients all the beef varieties now contain…. Chicken!!!! I am so disappointed.

This is another used to be great cat food, that was a reasonable price. I've now stopped purchasing it because more of a tin goes in the bin than the cats were eating. Between the chunks of visible fat throughout the food and anything from a a teaspoon full of fat or more in the bottom of the tins, my six cats started refusing to eat it, even the local stray would rather look elsewhere than touch it.

My three all said no to this one. Been good if I had the choice of a single tin, gets a bit expensive when your trying different things out.

Good volume tin with several meals hit cats not into it

Looks and smells good, but none of my three cats will touch it, even when I left it down with no alternative. Can't give a better rating as I can only be guided by their reactions

I've tried different flavours with my cats, but so far they only like the beef & chicken one... Overall I like this brand as it's grain and sugar free but it has gotten more expensive oder the years.

I wanted to try a new canned food for my cat, Beefy, who has become quite fussy, turning his nose up at firstly Butchers and then Whiskas. The food looks quite meaty, he ate it all up and asked for seconds. A few weeks later, he is still eating it - win! There was a slight issue with the tins in that the lids were a bit bulging - this is nothing to worry about - Zooplus contacted the manufacturer who got in touch to explain their canning process- excellent service!

Its not the most appetising looking food - though full of meat, with little jelly or gravy - the cat was not a fan.

Used to be really great and now full of skin snd gristle. Odered one more time, but also trying other brand. If they won't improve, they will be loosing many clients

I ordered Thai food on account of the excellent reviews. That’s the last time I pay attention to reviews! I cannot possibly state how terrible this food is. It has large (!) chunks of skin tissue and gristle in it, has congealed fat at the top and bottom of the cans, smells rotten and our cat won’t touch either flavour, preferring kibble which says a lot! I couldn’t bring myself to donate this to a shelter it is so bad. cheap supermarket brands would be 100% better than this junk. Why Zooplus?

We've been buying Carny (most flavours) for our two cats since 2013. Our cats really enjoyed the good quality, grain free, high meat content . However, during the last few months the 400g tins have contained considerably more solid fat, and the entire contents are now encased in a 3-4 mm layer of jelly. Our Boys don't seem as keen, even after I have painstakingly removed most of the lumps of fat and jelly. We're having to look at alternatives. A real shame.

I've been buying this for the past 3 years and it was always good quality, until this latest batch. The quality has definitely gone down! With this latest order there is now 1/2" thick layers of pure fat at the bottom of each can!! All previous cans have had actual cat food right down to the very bottom of the can. I ordered 24 cans but if this continues through them all, I won't be buying this again.

My two cats loved this brand for over six months, absolutely wolfed it down every time. They won't touch it now, not even when crying for food. This happened between one order and the next. Has the maker changed the recipe?

I bought that food, as I am still trying to find the substitute for Gourmet. Unfortunately, none of our 4 cats touched it...

I ordered the beef & cod flavour because our boy likes fish and he absolutely loves it. Normally he goes for his dry food first and you sometimes have to trick him into eating his wet food. Not with this! He loves it and finishes it (almost) every time, sometimes even asking for seconds. So happy as we have been trying to find a brand of cat food that is healthy and which he likes. The price is really good, too, esp. if you buy a multipack. Excited to try the other flavours!

I have 3 house cats and 1 feral stable cat, only the feral will eat this. It looks and smells nice but obviously my house cats disagree. I won't purchase the very large tins again, I will just buy smaller ones for my feral.

I decided to switch from pouches (mostly Hills, Sheba & pets at home own brand) to cans - mainly to save costs. Frog didn't like this one at first - I think it was because the texture is very different to what she'd been used to - high meat content, so dry-ish without so much jelly or gravy that she'd been used to. In the end I mixed the first can with water to change the consistency, then stuck to the new foods that she seemed to like more. After a few weeks' gap, I've just tried a second can, and she has wolfed it down without any problems. It's very meaty - looks a bit like corned beef.

This food is great and I think reasonably priced. We used to buy Lily's Kitchen as one of my cats suffers from digestion problems, but Lilys was a bit hit and Miss and he still got a funny belly from it, so I looked around for alternative fuss free (grain, colouring, additives etc) cat food's and tried this. We use the Turkey and Rabbit and all 4 cats love it, are healthy and my problems cats stomach has improved greatly. And this is cheaper! Would definitely recommend!!

Decided to try this as I'm on the constant quest for good quality food that doesn't break the bank. Our three had been fed on Shiny Cat for a while (with RC dried food) because of some digestion problems and it was getting to the point where they were actually getting fed up of chicken. We've got a 3 cats with range of ages from 5 months to 17 years and there's little point on feeding age specific food as they all swap around. Decided to try Carny as it had a high meat content, no nasty additives and was suprisingly cheap. All three of ours absolutely love it regardless of variety. You can definitely tell it has a high meat content as you can play "guess the animal part"! It doesn't look great but actually doesn't smell too bad and you know that they are all getting a high quality food.

I used to buy the 800g size, but decided to get the 400g format for more convenience and to have it open for fewer days. Nagi has responded really well to it—the pâté is firmer than the 800g version and it seems that this has led to a definite acceptance from the cat. You can tell (at least I think so) that he enjoys it, by the way he licks his lips after eating and how playful and energetic he is after each meal.

Lots of fat inside, especially at the bottom of the tin. Really poor quality.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the negative reviews: for 4 years we've been feeding our two cats Carny, which always had a very good price-performance ratio, good quality, pleasant smell, and our cats tolerated it really well. For the past few months, however, the texture and smell have changed, our cats no longer feel full after eating it, and worst of all: for some time now, they've constantly had diarrhoea. And it smells exactly like the food! Such a shame, Carny used to be our favourite!

Every time I open the food, it makes a little explosion. There's a lot of fat settling at the bottom of the cans, forming a layer of lard. The mix contains lots of strange hard bits – some cartilage, tubes, etc. It's awful to look at, and my older cat refuses to eat this food.

The can used to be different, it smelled lovely. The changed recipe is just poor-quality rubbish... Now there's a 1cm layer of fat at the bottom and I won't even comment on the smell when you open it. My cat used to love it, now she avoids the bowl completely. She got diarrhoea and started vomiting. Never again!

Different consistency and smell of the food, the cats don't want to eat it, one got diarrhoea for several days. This was my last order.

Our Maine Coon suddenly refuses to eat this food. She used to love it, but now she won’t even go near the bowl. She’ll eat any other food. Very strange—something must have changed in the food. It’s annoying for me, since I bought it as a subscription and still have lots of cans left.

...unfortunately not anymore. All my cats refuse to eat this food now. One of them sniffed it and started gagging. It used to be completely different. They used to love this food.

In every box, no matter the variety, there's almost 1cm of just fat at the bottom of the box. We're paying for a whole box of food our cats can actually eat, not for almost an entire portion that's unusable.

Unfortunately, this food didn’t work at all for our cat. He regularly vomits after eating it, no matter which flavour we choose. Previously, we bought kitten food from the same manufacturer and had absolutely no problems. However, after switching to the adult food, our cat started vomiting frequently. We tried different flavours, but nothing changed. Because of this, we can’t recommend this food.

My oldest cat, who has chronic kidney failure (won’t eat kidney diet or anything with chicken in it), is sensitive to things like chicken and turkey. I used to feed him, among other things, the Beef & Cod variety and was happy with it, but recently I noticed he was having allergy symptoms again (dirty ears and itching)... only to now discover that chicken has been added. Really disappointing! I also see that chicken has now been added to other varieties where it wasn’t before. Chicken allergies are actually quite common!

The food is very hard and none of our four cats will eat it.

My cats don't like it at all.

The quality of the food has changed. And not for the better.

I was encouraged by previous good reviews, but as you can see, the quality has really gone downhill.

My cat got diarrhoea from this. Thick layer of fat in the food and at the bottom of the can.

I've been ordering Animonda Carny for cats for a few good months now. Even after the recipe changed, the cats still eat it eagerly and I haven't had any digestive issues or problems like them throwing up the food. In batches with beef, I've noticed there's more fat in the food – I don't see this issue with the other flavours.
