What happened to Mac’s - again!
I previously gave this food 4 stars because of shrink-flation, without affecting the quality though. This time, a year later, I can definitely say that this is NOT the food it used to be. I recently bought poultry/beef/cranberry variety and couldn’t believe my eyes - and nose! Smelly, mushy, with a LOT of beef fat visible. My cats have to be REALLY hungry to eat it and even then they only eat a little and leave the rest. Not the colour, not the structure, not the smell and not the taste anymore.

My cats love it…
Well. They actually love four different varieties. And I love the fact that they love it. However, there’s something I don’t love. You no longer get 800g food in an 800g can. There’s a thick layer of jelly now, which in the case of chicken with chicken hearts is close to 20-25% of the can’s content. So naturally, I’m going through much more cans a week now than I used to. And the difference is massive when you have 11 cats at home. Hence only 4 stars.

Drób i żurawina
Only this is eaten by three cats at once
They've tried different flavours, but this one tastes the best. Occasionally, there are bloated cans.

Łosoś i kurczak
Decline in quality
I had been buying food from this brand for several years and at first it was great. Over time, my cat became more and more picky about the flavours, so we mostly stuck with salmon and veal. Unfortunately, after the last two orders, my cat got sick three times after eating freshly opened cans of salmon from different batches. Once, he ended up on a drip for a week because he refused to eat anything after this food. The cans themselves have recently seemed swollen and the texture is watery. We're giving up on this brand. 😞

Geflügel & Cranberry
Actually good, but
In my opinion, cranberries have no place in cat food. I also think that's probably what some of my cats can't tolerate. That said, it's still a good mix—good and affordable.

New formula? Quality is declining
I used to always like the food, but something is different with the new order. The food is suddenly much fattier, no matter which variety – there are actual fat droplets in it, and the chicken with chicken hearts variety is slimy? I don’t even know how to describe it. I threw it out straight away, it didn’t look healthy. Even my cat, who isn’t picky and usually eats everything, now leaves half of it or doesn’t touch it at all.

Geflügel & Cranberry
High Quality & Affordable
Luckily, the occasionally changing recipe doesn’t bother us – the cats eat both the new and the old batches really well and tolerate it perfectly. But I’ve noticed the changes too, and I get why other owners might find it annoying.
Still: Especially for this price, the food is great, so who says good cat food has to be expensive? ;)

Κοτόπουλο με Ολόκληρες Καρδιές Πουλερικών
Very bad food
Very bad food, rubbish. My cats have never vomited with any other food, not even the supermarket brands, but with this one they did. And I don't just have one cat.

Geflügel & Cranberry
Siam-Persian cats: Really well received
Our Siamese-Persian cats really like this variety and took to it straight away. We'll be happy to order it again and again!

Nötkött
Good food for sensitive stomachs
I have a cat with diabetes and a sensitive stomach. I switched from using Venandi mono-protein beef to this one because Mac's is a bit cheaper. It works well for the most part and even my other cat really likes it. To a human nose, it smells much more appetising than, for example, Mjau wet food which they ate before. I do wish they would skip adding things like carrot, but it's grain-free and sugar-free and has a good composition for diabetic cats.

Huhn PUR mit ganzen Geflügelherzen
Both love it
We tried all the varieties at first, and they all went down really well! Unfortunately, one of our cats has developed an allergy to pretty much everything with chicken in it, so now we only feed him Pure Chicken. Luckily, it's one of the only brands that doesn't cause him any reaction!

Huhn PUR mit ganzen Geflügelherzen
Favourite food
When my cats moved in a few years ago, I tried several brands and have stuck with this one ever since. They always eat it well, except when they have tummy troubles ;). If I gave them the recommended amount of food, my cats would probably be meowing at me all day out of hunger, but they're also young, active, and playful (indoor cats). The batches often vary a bit; I have to take off a point because sometimes there's a different unchopped organ in there (stomach?).

Kaczka, indyk, kurczak
Different batches
All batches except for DE are very good, but my cats don't want to eat this one—it's very hard and has a strange texture.

bœuf
Quality doesn't seem to be there anymore.
Not only has it been out of stock recently, but there’s also a really high amount of fat and jelly. I did the maths on an 800g tin and ended up with 158g of fat. On the 400g tins, I’ve found up to 106g of fat/jelly in some of them. I think the company knows about this but just doesn’t care about the feedback. I’ve called several times and every time I was told, “they’ll pass the information on”…

Lamm & Pute
Very good
My tomcat is autistic or something, and this is the only food he'll eat. Since he's been getting his favourite food regularly, he's much more balanced :)

Kitten Vițel & inimi de pui
His favourite when he was a pup
When Porto was a kitten, this was one of his favourite wet foods. Every time I put it in his bowl, he finished it right away. He loved both this flavour and the other variety from the Kitten range. He tolerated it very well, with no digestive issues, and the ingredients are a big plus for us. We definitely recommend it for little kittens.

Rață, curcan & pui
High-quality wet food
We've been using MAC's food ever since Porto was a kitten. We started with the kitten range and now we've switched to the adult version. We like the ingredients, with a high meat content and no grains. He tolerated it very well from the start, with no digestive issues or other problems. He ate it with great pleasure for a long time. Lately, he seems to have got a bit bored of this flavour, but I think it's more a matter of taste preference than a problem with the product. Overall, we're very satisfied!

Lamm & Pute
Constantly changing formula
I'm really getting super annoyed now. As many cat owners know, cats are very picky when it comes to food. The Lamb & Turkey variety is the ONLY thing they'll eat. So it's all the more frustrating when the recipe keeps changing. The tins used to be dark green, now they're light green – and unfortunately, it's not just the colour that's changed. The texture and ingredients are different too, so my cats won't eat it anymore. Every order is a gamble!
