Wysong Epigen™ Rabbit Canned Dog & Cat Food

This dog food canned rabbit, is made in the US and sourced meat from US (I asked). My dog loves it and it appears to be a quality item of food for her. My only complaint was that the case was full of dented cans, but they were OK when I opened one. That would’ve been Amazons fault and not the company’s. Highly recommend otherwise.

My ferrets love this food. Ferrets are obligate carnivores and need to be fed a grain-free diet. Yes, it isn't complete nutrition in that it lacks essential amino acids and some minerals, but since I also feed my fuzz butts raw chicken and Wysong Epigen 90 ferret kibble, I think I have all the bases covered! Bottom line; this is a key part of their nutritional plan and as a result, I have healthy, active ferrets with soft, glossy coats. I have Marshall ferrets, and since I switched to this feeding plan, most of my ferrets live to be 9 or 10 years old.

I purchased this because my pup is on a single source protein diet of rabbit, per my Vet’s recommendation. I gave it to my pup & she loved it, but she had a reaction to it……itching & paw licking. So, I scheduled an appointment with her dermatologist so see what’s going on. The Vet said it was good except for the “natural flavoring”, & she said it could be any protein & recommended I discontinue giving it to.Anyway, Amazon won’t let me return it so I’m stuck with food I can’t use. My Vet recommended another brand that I’m going to purchase from a different retailer because I don’t want to get stuck again with food I can’t give my pup, nor will I give it to any other dog.

Application - 2 rescued cats (both Russian Blue mix, about 6 months old). I have had them for 2 weeks, and this food has been a part of perhaps 70% of their meals.Challenge - transition them from the shelter food towards a more biologically appropriate (i.e. carnivorous) diet.Action - read through the background on the Wysong website and several cat nutrition sites. I appreciated the general approach of using real cat food (i.e. rabbit) processed at low temperatures (cats do not cook their food).Result - they eat every last nibble. Interestingly, they did not gorge or binge eat. Instead, they came back several times.Side note - this is not a complete diet. According to Wysong, it is made of rabbit "trimmings" - parts that would otherwise be wasted from rabbits butchered for human consumption. This is the only reason that I omitted one start - there is no way to tell what exactly is missing in the nutritional content.The best way that I can describe the color and texture is ground beef that has been browned. It is not the pâté that you get in a typical can.After eating, let's just say that they seem to process it well - the litter box is not foul.Overall, I would say that this is can be part of a complete and nutritious diet. However, some supplementation would need to be accomplished to ensure that they are getting essential nutrients.

I feed this to my ferrets and to my mom's dog who we found out is allergic to chicken. Ferrets love it and the dog's digestive issues has since resolved.

A wonderful, superior canned food.. We top our dogs' kibble with this to make a healthier meal for them. We know kibble only is not a healthy diet!! So be sure and give your dog toppers of quality canned, raw, freeze-dried... anything real, but beware of table food if has cooked bones or wrong seasonings... salt, sugar, onion! No! raw bones are good for them!!

I am so very grateful to have found this food because my little Shih Tzu Poo is highly allergic to all protein, except rabbit. I add fresh veggies to each serving of Wysong Epigen Rabbit Canine/Feline/Ferret Canned Formula along with one patty of Stella & Chewy's Freeze Dried Rabbit Dog Food Dinner. After feeding her this for the last two months, I am happy to say my girl is now yeast and itch-free. YAY!Thank you Wysong, and thank YOU, Amazon for carrying this product!!!

My cat loved this - however, turns out this may be because of some additive - yeast ?? same as all commercial cat foods that create an addictive response. Cat got severe diarrhea, again lily due to additives, or some impurity - can't be from rabbit, because she eats rabbits she catches in the yard
