Reviews of Duke's Farm cat food
about Duke's Farm food for cats , writes Larisa from Moscow. When I came for another package, Arden Grange found out that it was not there. The seller said that it would be there in a few days, but during these few days the cat needs to be fed something. I asked if there was something similar, the seller recommended trying the new Duke's Farm, which just recently went on sale and is about the same in quality. I decided to try it.
[ads-2]
The cat eats no worse than the previous food, the portions are approximately the same. I read the composition, I liked it, it’s also not worse. I tried to find reviews about Duke's Farm on the Internet, but there was nothing, apparently the food really appeared in our country quite recently. Now I’m going to buy the third package, if the cat likes it, then I’m happy with it. Moreover, this food is a little cheaper
