Had problems with a different brand because it either wouldn't grow or it would grow bugs. This stuff grows nice, is very sturdy and long lasting. Kitty loves her new dental floss (and occasional snack). It's very tall and thick compared to most grass I've purchased in the past. Growing it all at once may be more than your cat needs or wants. I split mine up into quarters. Great value.

The only reason that I bought this PetGrass is because I was ordering something else and needed to spend a few more dollars for free shipping. Lucky for my cats, I chose this PetGrass for them :-)

I have 2 cats - 1 of them isn't too crazy about the grass, but 1 of them LOVES it! He will chew on the grass, lick it, and play with it too. In addition to putting the grass near their food bowls (still in the pouch), I also snip bits of it into their food.

I am not sure about the actual health benefits of this on my cats, but they seem to like it. Even though 1 of my cats doesn't bother with it when it is in the pouch, she seems to like it in her food.

Note:

Just one pouch produces a lot of grass. It does last quite a while as long as you keep watering it appropriately (my last batch is going on 3 weeks). But, it is too much for my cats. So, I split the amount in half. When I open the pouch, I will divide the seeds and dirt. I'll only put half in at a time. Once the first batch goes dead, I'll add the second batch - I put it in the same pouch after rinsing it out.

I really enjoyed growing the wheat grass using this package. It was simple, clean, and the grass grew really well! I was pleasantly surprised at how lush and green the grass was. Though my dog doesn't eat it off the stems, I just cut them into smaller pieces over his food. Definitely recommended for the experience, whether your pet will eat it is a different stories, as we all know, the little ones can be picky. =)

The senior cat in our fairly finicky 3-cat household has a foot injury that's taking a very long time to heal, so I've had to close off feline access to the patio where my cats like to graze. Hairball upchucks ensued in short order. The Cosmic grass seed from the pet store was a big hit, but it's been out of stock for weeks now. Which is how we came to try this. Was a tad worried about how quickly my guys would do away with the contents of such a wee small garden-in-a-bag. But the crop it produced is much more dense than other kitty grasses we've tried and is still going strong after a couple of weeks on the floor next to their water dish--despite heavy use. It often gets tipped over, but since nothing ever spills out, that's not a problem. My cats, for some reason, won't eat snipped grass scattered over their food. They will only chomp greenery straight from the source. This product is perfect for that.

Update 11/30/11: First batch lasted a full five weeks. Have ordered more.

Grew like a charm in the window; per reviews from others I only put about half the grass seed in there and it was still really thick / lush. Of the four cats, only one of them chowed down on it pretty regularly.

While the packaging was pretty conveinent, the cats didn't like it very much: even cutting the edges back, the sharp edges of the package seemed to bother them.

While this was a neat product and did everything it said it would, in the future I'm just going to get a pot and a package of grass seeds.

When we took in our first cat I had no idea that cats crave greens naturally. Until one day I noticed my plants were all chewed up and bits & pieces were all over the carpet. So I tried this Bellrock pet greens and now our cat won't eat his food without it! I just trim some of the grass and sprinkle on top of his meal. It's super easy to grow and one package lasts me about 15 days. Super!

I have five totally indoor cats, which means that they have zero access to fresh greens. One of them, aptly named Monster, will eat anything that looks remotely like a plant; green fabric, faux flowers, my floral purse. Thus far we have tried approximately 5 other brands of cat grass and this one is the biggest hit.

The cats all love this stuff, and we are also snipping bits off for our chinchilla and box turtle.
The packaging is nice and sturdy so the cats cant destroy it while munching.
Greens are thicker and healthier looking than most of the other brands we've tried.
Directions are easy to follow.
I like that its USDA certified and provides batch information for each bag, including contents, date tested, and type of wheat.
Unlike many other brands of pet greens that only target cats, this is marketed towards a variety of animals and includes suggested methods for feeding each. I am the inventory mgr at a petstore and this allows us to reach more customers with the product!
The company, Bellrock Growers, supports animal rescue, adoption and shelter programs, which is an added bonus to an avid animal lover!
The only downside is that I have to hide the container while the grass is regrowing! The cats will go to great lengths to find and munch on it.

I highly recommend this brand of pet grass!

I got this to see if my dog like this as well as he likes lawn grass and he did! It grew fast and was very easy however the base of the stems and soil got moldy after awhile I think because it is hard to water the right amount in the bag. At least it was for me. It is a nice idea though and it did work!

Pros: Easy to grow (even the "pot" is included - although we placed in a different planter)
Organic seeds
Doesn't seem to foster mold
Deters cats from eating the houseplants
My cats LOVE it

Cons: Can't find official confirmation on whether the soil is also organic (seems treated for bugs-resistivity)
About 2x as many seeds as necessary for the bag (not actually a "con")

Cat breeds: 1) Male British Shorthair, 2) Female Russian Blue, 3) Male Ocelot mix

This self-grow kit is great! I'm on my 3rd kit now. My cat likes it, and I love it! It is very rewarding to watch as it grows, easy to care and sit beautifully on my desk next to window. Green is always nice:)

I got these because my cat seemed depressed at the time and I thought this can be something new for her and fun for me at the same time. The bag becomes a little saggy and dirty after awhile, so I just put the whole thing in a small glass bowl I had and everything is well. I got used to having this little kit on my desk and enjoyed watching the greens grow.

Everyone who sits in front of a computer monitor extended period should definitely give it a try, and all cat owners who have a depressed cat should probably get it too. My cat was later diagnosed with IBD but this definitely works in cheering her upē
