I'm not sure if it really tastes fishy but it smells fishy.  — We are very pleased with ProPlan.  His scratching and biting have really reduced due to all the omegas in the food and his skin discoloration is also fading. I'm so impressed, I may even keep him on this food permanently (it costs more than his old food but worth it)...

But I look for visible results with an animal food and here is what I see: Shiny coat, not at all fat, good stools, good energy and sparkling eyes.  I also like the fact that cranberry is added for urinary tract health.  Cats can be prone to crystals.  Cat lovers, check out this food.  It is not sold everywhere like the grocery stores or Petco, but we find it at Pet Supplies...

And, an added bonus is, it is reasonably priced compared to what I was paying for the upscale...
