KOHEPETS Online Pet Shop

I adopted my cat, Patches, in September last year through the Cat Welfare Society (CWS). She’s currently about 1yr 8mnths old, and is pampered AF at home. Look through my Instagram (@yinghan) and you’d know how obsessed I am.

Kohepets found me on Instagram and contacted me 2-3 weeks ago to do a sponsored review for their service and products!! So, here it goes!
Navigation
Navigating their website was a fuss-free experience, with all the different products for the specific animals categorised neatly. 

Costs
Some of the items listed on Kohepets are a little more expensive compared to what I saw on other websites, but there are also some that are cheaper! Overall, I guess the prices of pet food are quite regulated? So you don't really see a big price difference between different websites. I guess if you’re budget-conscious like me (pet food is not cheap!) definitely look around and compare prices. I’ll usually have a few different websites that I order from.

I think many pet owners would appreciate that the minimum spend for free shipping is just $60, versus some other pet stores that require you to spend $80/$100. 

Service & Delivery
I did face some problem after placing the order. Apparently I hadn’t logged in to my account beforehand, so the system wasn’t able to send me an email notification regarding the order. But all it took was just one email to the company, and they did clarify that they’d receive the order.

Also. I received the product just one day after confirmation, delivered to my doorstep! The deliveryman will send a SMS before delivery to ensure that someone’s at home, or if nobody’s home, you can also request for them to place the items inside your shoe cabinet or riser – that’s what I usually do for door deliveries hahaha…
This cat very kaypoh
I wouldn’t say I’m super knowledgeable about pet diets, but generally I would try to look for food with higher level of quality protein, minimum fillers and by-products.
Here's what we got:
Now, Imma break it down into the different brands and ranges. First up, we have the range of canned food from Aixia.


Now, the Japanese know their stuff. Just look at the number of cat cafes in the country, and you will know that they are obsessed over felines. One thing I love about Aixia is that they really pack as much meat as possible into their cans, so you know you’re getting your monies worth. Also helps that their packaging is so KAWAII.

Fussie Cat
The grain free formula is what drew me in.
Similar to Aixia, these cans are STUFFED with meat. 

AatasCat
These canned food are apparently human-grade and grain free. Sounds good to me! 
We tried both the aspic formula and gravy formula before, and somehow there seems to be more meat in the aspic formula. Not sure if that's the same for the other brands. I would say though, the aspic in the AastasCat canned foods does look a little thicker than the Fussie Cat ones. 
Wellness
Wellness is pretty well-known for their quality products. The price is a little more expensive,  but I’d rather pay a bit more every month and know that Patches is eating something that’s good for her.
I’ve been buying Wellness dry food consistently ever since I got my first cat. It has one of the highest protein content amongst the rest of the dry food brand, with pretty good recommendations from reviewers. I used to buy the grain free original formula which has the highest protein content, but we changed our regular dry food to the indoor formula after speaking to one of the volunteers at CWS that indoor cat might not need as much protein since they are generally less active. 

Now, I wouldn’t say Patches is crazy over the dry food, but she doesn’t have a choice - either she eats it or go hungry. I’ve tried several other brands before, but I noticed that some have quite a strong scent – like literally the smell permeates the entire living room. Not a fan, so we switched back to Wellness after that.

The canned food though...Patches HATES it. 
I used to buy the indoor formula canned food for her, and I know that she doesn’t like it. I need to dissolve it with water and mix in some other canned food, so she can just slurp everything up. 

This 'Heart Cuts' range comes in strips, and unlike the normal indoor formula, I can’t dissolve it completely with other canned food. So my spoilt cat actually ate everything she like and left the wellness strips in her bowl-.-


I have no words.

KONG 
Patches was IMMEDIATELY attracted to the KONG toy, and I had to pull her away while taking photos of the products. BUT she got bored after playing a couple times. Patches is definitely more of a hunter/chaser kinda gal, so she prefers string toys and anything that moves around. 
Ciao Churu
This is a snack/treat for cats, but instead of the usual hard kibbles, it’s in liquid form. And this might just be the best thing that has ever happened to the feline race. The minute I flash this stick in front of Patches, she will come running over. Tried and tested. Works 10/10 times. 

Kohepets has the widest range of Ciao Churu snacks on their website, spoilt for choice. If you have a cat, buy him/her one of these. Guaranteed MIND-BLOWING experience for them. In fact, I only know 1 cat who doesn’t love this (Fel, talking about Amber…if you’re reading…hahaha)
And that's a wrap!
Thank you Kohepets for sending over the items!
