A Game Changer for My Cat’s Health!”
I recently tried Wysong Archetype Raw food for my cat and I’m thrilled to report that she absolutely loves it! In fact, anything I give her from Wysong receives the same enthusiastic response, which makes me extremely happy. As someone who goes out of their way to buy pet food from Wysong, I already know how healthy and nutritious it is for my beloved feline companion.Wysong’s commitment to providing high-quality, natural ingredients is evident in every product they offer. Their Archetype Raw food is no exception, featuring a blend of fresh, raw meats, organs, and bones that mimic the diet cats would consume in the wild. This ensures optimal nutrition and promotes overall health and wellbeing.My cat’s coat has become shinier, her energy levels have increased, and her digestive system seems to be functioning better than ever since switching to Wysong. It’s clear that this food is making a positive difference in her life, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.If you’re looking for a premium, biologically appropriate diet for your cat or dog, I highly recommend giving Wysong Archetype Raw food a try. Your pet deserves the best, and Wysong delivers on that promise. Trust me, your furry friend will thank you! 🐾❤️

Excellent product and lasts a long time
I was skeptical when I first purchased this. My cat went crazy when I first reconstituted it in warm water and fed it to him as a main meal. I now use this as a crumbled topping over his raw meat, and he licks his bowl clean. Very healthy meal and easy to follow instructions. This one 7.5 oz bag has lasted me more than two months, very impressed.

Excellent product for furry kids with food allergies/sensitivities
I love this food for my cat. It is easier to administer raw food to him this way and we are on an all rabbit diet right now (well he and his little sister are). He does not particularly like it but I can mix in with his wet rabbit food from Nature’s Way and he will eat it. I know it is good for him. There are no extra ingredients, it is just Rabbit. The large chunks could be used as treats but since neither of my kids will eat them as treats it is very easy for me to mash them between my fingers into a powder. I keep it in my fridge to make sure it is fresh. I also make sure not to cross contaminate. I only put this directly into his bowl before adding the wet food. I don’t mix it in the can – they don’t eat an entire can at once. I am pretty sure I read once it is put into something they need to eat it right away as it is raw it will degrade quickly. My little girl is weird and won’t eat anything except dry kibble but my boy is the one with food sensitivities and since going 100% rabbit his bathroom habits have improved greatly. If they would eat it by itself it does reconstitute really well in just water or could be sprinkled on anything or mixed with any wet food.

Our Love Puff really noms this stuff when mixed with her other wet food
I am not sure about this as a full meal or not. We mix it into Darwins Raw Meat for cats to add fibre and diversity to her meals… Our puff ball has enjoyed everything from Wysong so far… However she will only eat this if it is mixed with other food items and not on its own.Pros:Seems to be well liked by fur friendComprehensive and diverse ingredientsMixes into wet raw food easilyNice staff on the phone for questions and samples of new itemsCons:Large chunks need to be broken down or soaked for a while before servingNot sure whether eating rehydrated food every day will be enjoyed for the long haulBetter as a supplement than a main meal

Cats are supposed to eat meat.
I was wondering why my cat was throwing up after eating this. She’s used to raw meat and healthy food but this one she couldn’t stomach. I looked at the ingredients and it has vegetables and chia seeds. Cats are meant to eat that. I’ll give it to my dogs.

Quality ingredients, great price compared to other brands , kitty LOVES
My cat, who enjoys a rotational diet, is very picky. He’s come from a hoarding situation and is also cautious to eat. I will tell you, I was worried that he wouldn’t like a freeze dry, but he literally runs to his bowl when he smells the Wysong. The ingredients are wonderful, and I love that the nutrition hasn’t been killed off with heat. This is a premium product, and comes with a premium price, but compared to the price of other freeze dried raw foods, it’s pretty good (and why I tried this product). I am very happy to now be including this food in my cats rotation. And I can see how excited he is too.

A miracle food
This stuff is a miracle food. I have a male cat who recently had a full blockage in his bladder. He’s a very picky eater with wet food, especially his prescription food, but if I sprinkle a little of this on the top he devours it. Since his recovery I wanted to supplement his diet with cranberry and d mannose treats, but he flat out refuses them. However if I mash one in between this powdery goodness, he doesn’t think twice and it’s gone in two bites. I have already bought another bag – please never stop making this!!!!!!!!!!

Very concerned about ingredients
I bought this along with another Wysong product and discovered when they arrived that the ingredients were completely different then what was listed here! And, to make matters worse, the hidden ingredients could have been very harmful to my special needs cat, if I hadn’t double checked. So, now I don’t know what to think. Man. If I can’t trust that what they say is accurate, I do not feel at all comfortable giving her their raw cat food, either. And neither expensive product is returnable even though they misrepresented what they were selling. This stinks. All I was trying to do is take care of my cats. It’s already sooo expensive. I did not need this.
