1-1/2 cases EVO wet, 9 cats.
Cats like it.
No problems to report.

Portland, Oregon. I have given Evo wet and dry to both cats and saw no problems other than on the wet food, the 9 year old's pee seems a bit too foamy for comfort (too much phosphorus or potassium?). So I stopped buying the can, but I still use Evo kibble to sometimes sprinkle on their raw food or give by itself as a treat. No problems that I have observed.

Moved from Dog Food Innova Bought a bag of Evo for my cat end of June, withing a few hours of feeding it he was at the water bowl drinking quite a bit - about 3-5x/hour. Blood work 3 days later was OK, other than a few electrolytes slightly off (don't know which ones). No noticible odd things in kibble. He was on canned for 2 months before that so may have just been reacting to dry food again, but this seems like an excessive amount of thirst for just that, and if they are adding things to make them drink, to heck with that. I quit feeding it.

Ohio. I tried the dry food a couple of years ago and it seemed to make my Siamese meaner than he normally is.

I'm from Winnipeg, Canada. I feed Evo dry (old formula so far) as a treat (a few bits added to their other dry). They seem to prefer it over the other brands , but likely because of the high protein content, they drink more water. If they eat it straight (an entire meal of it), their litter gets really stinky. This also seems to be an ideal food for my mother's diabetic cat (7% of calories from carbohydrate). The jury is still out on the effect on her blood sugar as we just started it the other day. No obvious problems with this food.

Northern California.
2 cats, one male, one female. Both have had sterile cystitis so I'm trying to feed them mostly wet food (but can't find one they like). They refuse to eat the wet food.
I've been feeding them a little of the dry food (new package) and have no issues so far. Will keep an eye out for more water drinking.

I won't buy EVO canned because it is made by Menu.
EVO dry:
All my cats like the dry very much. My cats seem fine since they have been eating it.
I did not notice any problems with regard to foreign particles in the kibble, however the kibble in the last bag was very dusty, and supposedly that is why they changed the formulation.
My cats do not like it as well since they changed the bag and the formulation, but they still do not hesitate to eat it, just without the same level of enthusiasm.
I think it helped my diabetic cat with his glucose levels.
I've used it as my main dry food since the recall until now, but have temporarily stopped since there were some problems reported on the itchmo Innova thread.
I am not using it again till the company reassures us about the quality of the food.

Because Evo manufacturers its own dry and claims to use only US ingriedients I switched to Inova Evo dry. 2 of my 3 cats like it. No problems wih it. My cats will not eat Innova wet.

Using EVO wet and dry for 4 indoor cats (3 purebreds & 1 DSH) and 2 outdoor DSHs.
Also use INNOVA wet and dry plus some homecooking. All cats doing well.
Concerns: 1. Natura's response to Donna's questions.
2. When will Natura have their own cannery? I hate supporting MENU.

I switched to Innova EVO canned and dry in early April, 2007. After eating it for 1 1/2 months my cats (1 yr old and 3 yr old) bloodwork showed an increased creatinine level. My vet said too much protein. After changing to Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul for 1 month their creatinine returned to normal.

Forgot to mention that I am in Oklahoma.
Innova EVO made my cats have loose stools.

Innova Evo (canned) made 2 of my 4 cats throw up. I think it was the high protein level, but that's just a guess.
They have no problems with Innova Evo Dry, however, which they get once a week at most.

I switched my cats to Innova EVO during the recalls. They've been doing well on it -- they're more active, their coats are softer and shinier and they have good appetites. Stools are noticeably stinkier but I notice they don't poop as much as they did on Purina Cat Chow.
