How to Cancel Smalls Cat Food Subscription in 2026

Smalls delivers fresh, human-grade cat food for about $3-7 per day per cat. That's $90-210/month — per cat. If your cats are eating better than you are, here's how to cancel.

The Fresh Cat Food Math

Let's compare the real cost per cat per month:

• Smalls fresh food: $90-210/month
• Premium wet food (Fancy Feast, Sheba): $30-45/month
• Quality dry food (Purina Pro Plan, Hill's): $15-25/month
• Mix of wet + dry: $25-40/month

That's a 4-8x price premium for fresh food. With two cats, Smalls can cost $180-420/month — more than many people spend feeding their entire family.

Is Fresh Cat Food Actually Better?

The honest answer: for most healthy cats, no. Here's what veterinary nutritionists actually say:

• AAFCO-certified commercial cat food meets all nutritional requirements
• Cats are obligate carnivores — they need taurine, arachidonic acid, and animal protein, all present in quality commercial food
• Fresh food may help cats with specific health conditions (kidney disease, allergies, IBD)
• For healthy cats, the difference in outcomes is minimal compared to quality conventional food

The 80/20 Approach

If your cat genuinely prefers fresh food and you want to keep some in the rotation without spending $200/month:

• Base diet: Quality wet food (Fancy Feast Classic, Tiki Cat, Weruva) — $30-45/month
• Occasional fresh topper: Cook plain chicken breast or fish once a week as a treat
• Result: 80% of the "fresh food experience" at 20% of the cost

Transition Gradually

If your cat has been on Smalls exclusively, transition slowly over 7-10 days. Mix increasing amounts of new food with decreasing amounts of Smalls. Cats are notoriously finicky — a sudden diet change can cause them to refuse food entirely, and cats that don't eat for 48+ hours can develop hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease).
