Hi Betsy, I looked into the lawsuit and only found a brief mention about the farmer who proposed it in 2021. It seems an “independent analysis” was conducted on the product, but no details are given about whether it was conducted at a professional lab or what. I couldn’t find any indication that the suit has gone forward but let us know if you hear anything!

Hi there! I would consider Kirkland’s dry cat food if you have access to a Costco store near you. Their foods are very competitively priced with similar—or better—nutrition than that from American Journey. Wishing you all the best, and Merry Christmas!

Honestly, to get the same nutritional value as AMJO will be difficult at that price, even with their recent increase in price. More than likely, if they raised prices so have others. Especially, if birds are used or they use ingredients from afar as there is another bird flu outbreak and there have been some logistic issues with off seas shipping for a few months now. I have researched until my fingers bleed trying to find the healthiest food I could find within my limited price range and AMJO was the best. If you CAN find another food with this percentage of protein/fat/carbs, low in ash, has probiotics, and correct levels of phosphorous please let me know. I have 5 cats and have recently been let go from my job. Any recommendation would be great!

Hi Ashley! The Landmark recipes look pretty good to me—seems they are similar to a lot of our top-recommended shreds-in-broth-style foods, with no thickeners or excessive additives, seemingly low carbohydrate content, and a nice concentration of meat.

Do you have thoughts on the Landmark version? It doesn’t seem to have any thickeners.
