Lily’s Kitchen Cat Food Review: Every Recipe Tested
Lily’s Kitchen built its UK reputation on named meat, proper recipes and cats that genuinely inhale the stuff — we worked through the main cat range to see where it earns the price tag and where it does not.
Range overview and standouts
- Chicken Casserole dry: the flagship — 65% chicken, excellent fussy-cat acceptance, mid-premium price.
- Fisherman’s Feast dry: strong fish aroma; cats with chicken sensitivities often do well here.
- Senior Fish & Turkey: one of few UK grain-free senior recipes — softer kibble, joint support.
- Kitten Chicken & White Fish: properly complete for growth, small kibble size.
Where it falls short
Price per kilo sits above supermarket own-labels, and the herbal additions divide owner opinion (cats do not seem to care). Stockists occasionally run dry of popular recipes — subscribing direct solves it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lily’s Kitchen worth the money?
For cats with sensitivities or fussiness, the acceptance rate and ingredient transparency justify the premium. Healthy, unfussy cats may do equally well on cheaper complete foods.
Is Lily’s Kitchen vet approved?
The range is formulated to FEDIAF standards and the brand highlights vet involvement in recipe development — but ‘vet approved’ is marketing shorthand, so check the complete-food claim on each pack.
What are the main ingredients?
Named fresh and dried meat (typically 60–65%), sweet potato, and added vitamins including taurine. No cereals in the core cat range.
Where is Lily’s Kitchen made?
The brand is UK-based with production in Europe; recipes are formulated to UK/EU pet food standards.
