Great
My Chihuahua won't hardly eat anything and needs heart medication. Someone suggested baby food. I said, "What?!" But, I thought I'd try it since it isn't expensive. SHE LOVES IT!! I just put her meds in a tablespoon of baby food overnight in the frig to dissolve. The picky Chihuahua LOVES this food. No more trying to find a way to get her meds down her without being bitten. What a relief!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Grady LOVES it !!!

    In all fairness, Grady is a 16 year old cat, who is hard pressed to eat any brand or style of canned cat food. He is loathe to eat any of them but since
    I introduced Gerber's as a treat AFTER he eats most of the cat food. He sees it on the counter and will eat a little of the cat food and go to the counter and look at Gerber's and meow. He
    does this several times till
    I feel he ate enough. I just pop the lid and place the jar on the non slip mat and he lickes the jar clean. Afterwards I get a happy, loving and contented cat.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for adults too!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024
    Flavor: BeefVerified Purchase
    I have been eating this product literally all my life and I’m 77. It was my first meat-based food as a baby. Of course, I went on to eating actual sliced meat. However, a lot of my time as a child was spent being ill. Until antibiotics for children became readily available I was frequently very, very ill with bronchitis every winter. The illness left me with little appetite or energy. Wisely, my mother made things as simple as possible and used this product (and other things) to tempt me to eat.

    As a teenager and as an adult I have also resorted to it during periods in which my stomach has been seriously upset. As recently as this past week I have had an infection that landed me in the emergency room seriously dehydrated and very nauseous. At home, after treatment, I resorted to it once again till my appetite returned. I usually keep a few jars on hand and replace them as they get used. It’s been a life saver many times over the years.

    I heard some cat owners and even vets feed this to cats as an alternative to Churu and gave this a try. Unfortunately, my cat refuses to eat this one.

    Still a very good meat baby food. I fed it to my kids who are all grown now.
    Recently my cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which might possibly because buy some canned cat foods. They are unclear about the source, can? Can lining?
    my daughter had told me that she feeds baby food to her ferrets who are strict carnivores. At the time, April, due to well supplies from the pandemic, she was having trouble finding it. Lo and behold, here it was on Amazon! I bought some for her but also tried it with my cat, who gave the mark of approval! Copious purrs, and he actually took his pill when it was buried in a lump of meat baby food. ,😊
    By the way, my daughter said the vet thought the other brand of baby food might be better for the cats, but my big boy wouldn't touch it. He's a Gerber baby. 😊

    5.0 out of 5 stars Chicken & gravy gerbers. Fed to elderly cat with tooth issues.

    My 19 yr old ginger tabby, Andrew, who has always had a sensitive stomach, never pukes this up. He is at the point of not being able to chew. He won't eat any of the lickable (made for) cat foods.
    It keeps him alive, although he does need to be fed every few hours like infants or feral newborn kitties. And the rest of the cats are more than happy to clean up whatever he walks away from...I wish I could get it at a cheaper price, but then that may mean its been compromised. And I cannot risk that. He will not eat any other brand. The only ingredients are added water and cornstarch (which is what I use to thicken my homemade gravy). Just wish I could find someone who has ideas to reuse the 2 oz glass jars, which are unbreakable. Its just the lids can not be reused for food/edibles. Which i have noticed other newer canning supplies do the same...the lid will mold. I tried to keep a small jar with grated parmesan cheese, and again homemade jam, that I have in a dorm size frig. Got mold on the lid, which spread to the food.
    So if anyone knows a plastic or metal lid that will fit these jars? I have searched Amazon for hours. Nothing for commercial baby food jars.
