Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 274 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the product quality, noting its high meat content and suitability for even the fussiest cats or those with dietary sensitivities. Many reviewers highlight the ease of the ordering process and the prompt, reliable delivery service, often arriving quickly and correctly. People appreciate finding healthy, natural options that their pets love and thrive on, especially for those with specific health needs. However, some customers also noted that while the product quality is superior, the pricing can be on the higher side. A few other people also felt that delivery times were occasionally slow or experienced issues with specific couriers, leading to lost or delayed parcels. There were also mentions of product inconsistency between batches, with some receiving treats that were brittle or powdery. Despite the general appeal, a small number of pets, particularly fussy ones, did not enjoy the food or treats.

We’re sorry to hear that your recent experiences with the treats haven’t been as consistent as your first purchase, especially after Leo enjoyed them so much initially. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and for giving us the opportunity to send replacements previously.

Please do contact our customer care team again with the details of the batches you’ve received, as we’d be happy to investigate this further for you.

One of the Few Foods My IBD Cat Can Tolerate

I have a senior cat with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and several other health issues, so providing high-quality food is essential to keeping him comfortable and well. I’ve spent a long time researching cat food, focusing on the cleanest, most natural options available, and Thrive pet food stands out as one of the best brands in the UK for quality and transparency.
I’ve been ordering Thrive for nearly 10 years, and it’s one of the very few brands my cat consistently tolerates well. At present, he can only have Thrive treats and one other brand as snacks, which says a lot about how well it suits sensitive digestive systems.
For anyone caring for a cat with complex dietary needs, especially conditions like IBD, Thrive has been a reliable and trustworthy choice.

We also really appreciate your kind comments about the quality and transparency of our products.

Thank you, on behalf of your cat, for choosing Thrive.

I have what seems like the world’s fussiest cat so to find natural treats that she loves is fantastic. The bigger bits of thrives natural treats I just split in half for Phlixie & she happily eats them before demanding more. 10/10 Thrive, thank you for making treats for even the most fussiest of cats. We will be trying your wet food next

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Hayley.

We’re delighted to hear that Phlixie is enjoying the treats so much, especially as she sounds very particular about what she likes. It’s also great to know that splitting the larger pieces works well for her.

We hope she enjoys trying the wet food too. Thank you, on behalf of Phlixie, for choosing Thrive.

My cats used to love the chicken

My cats used to love the chicken. I've just had a new delivery from a supplier and noticed a packaging change. On opening the tin, I realised that the product as also changed and now lacks the creamy texture it used to have. My cat won't touch it.
