Good choice of healthy food & treats.

Delivery was fast with the tins well packed in a sturdy box. Good choice of healthy food & treats for my cats. Helpful to be able to buy 1 small tin of each flavour to let 'the fusspots' try each 1. They didn't like every flavour but my Rottie didn't object to the leftovers! However I wish that larger tins were available for multi cat households. I'm very happy to have found a high quality complete wet food that 'the fusspots' will eat.

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Seems to be a quality product and my cats love them. I cut up as they can't manage large cubes.

Order did not arrivd. A week later it was re sent out …

My order did not arrive after waiting over a week. Finally got hold of someone via email and they re sent my order. I then asked a question regarding this and have not had a single response. This was my first time ordering direct through Thrieve so my experience has unfortunately put me off ordering again.

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with your first order. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating the delay and lack of follow-up must have been over the bank holiday weekend.

We’re pleased that a replacement was arranged, but we’re sorry that your subsequent query wasn’t responded to quickly enough. If you’re happy to do so, please contact our customer care team again and we’ll make sure this is followed up as a priority.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Thrive treats are excellent

Thrive treats are excellent and my little poodle loves them. Great training with them. No nasty additives. The only negative is the postage. Expensive and slow!

HOWEVER this is no reflection on Thrive products. I am still transitioning my cats food to try new alternatives to the mass produced products off the shelf.

Great food, happy cats

Been using thrive for a few months now and it's food my cats happily eat and leave empty bowls! The wet tins are a good size, esp since one of mine is on the petite side (and the other is an absolute unit on a diet.. so they're great sizes in both respects!) Means there is no excess food left around for the chonk to graze on..
I have 6 flavours on rotation after trying most of the flavours i could find (they arent a fan of beef & veg, they still ate most of it though except the peas haha! But the chicken and liver is a hit. Ocean fish is by far the fave, as well as the mackrel. It looks and smells like actual mackrel as well. Not processed rubbish. Actual chunks of real fish in there.
No more smelly litter trays too, unlike the regular supermarket brands which seemed to upset their tummies... what a nightmare that was... But no more!
Does cost a tiny bit more than standard food, but absolutely worth it in my opinion.
They're happy and healthy.
