Yesterday we got cans of Dave's canned food in the mail. They sent me three 5.5 ounce cans, one is chicken and the other 2 are turkey. Going to try it later today and see if she likes it.

I received 4 samples of Dave's 95% yesterday. They liked the tuna and chicken. I rarely feed fish so it was a treat for them. Will try the turkey today. The Lotus samples should come today.

I am happy to report Fussie cat tuna and Red barn tricky Chicky still a hit! It's a good thing I bought 24 cans of each.

I'm so glad mine aren't picky eaters... they will eat everything you put in front of them.

I leave dry food readily available and give them wet/canned in the evenings.

I will have to try some of these. I have been looking for better food for them.

Thanks!!!!

. Daves is like wellness
Peaches didn't really care for Dave's Turkey. I didn't think it was like Wellness but more like Wild Calling canned food. I will try the chicken flavor next but I don't think this is one I will be ordering. She likes Wild Calling Turkey much better and there is a little shop close to me that sells that one.

I got this reply from Feline Caviar:

Unfortunately we do not have samples to send out. We can send you a buy one get one free on the 4.4lb bags, this way you can try two different flavors of dry kibble. If your cats do not like it you can return it for a refund.

Our wet cat food trays have been miss labeled and are currently good a year after the expiration date stamped on the back. These are not sold in stores because of the miss labeled date. If you are interested we are running a promotion on the wet trays 60 single serving trays for $45.

I hope this helps and please let us know if you would like to receive a buy one get one free coupon for the kibble.



I contacted several companies. My favorite so far is from Newmanns own:

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We have a nice Sample Box that I will send you that includes a small bag of dry food and a variety of canned food. I’ll put you name on our shipping list.

I hope that your kitties enjoy!

Sincerely,

Terry

And from Primal:

I can send you a sample of our Freeze-Dried Formulas if you like, and I can also send you a coupon to use with your local retailer for a Free Starer Pak of our Raw Frozen Formulas along with it (check out what the Starter Pak has to offer online at http://www.primalpetfoods.com/education/pak)? If your local retailer doesn’t usually stock the Starter Pak, simply speak to the management or ownership to place a special order for the item, and nine times out of ten you should see it make its way to you within about a week or less.

Please just let me know whether your pets have any allergies of which I should be made aware and I will be happy to stick that in the mail for you immediately.

Please also note that Primal does offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you’re pretty much covered risk-free for any product of ours that you try. Should you find yourself dissatisfied with any Primal products, please simply reach out via telephone or e-mail, as you have here, and I will be happy to assist you.

I look forward to hearing from you again shortly. Thank you for your time and interest in Primal, and have a great day!

Best Wishes,

I just got a sample of Dave's. I never heard from them after sending my email, so I didn't expect to get anything, but they did send a couple of cans.

After reading this thread, I just asked for samples from Against the Grain, Lotus, Wild Calling and Fussie Cat. I hope they still send out samples.
