Classic Cat Food, Variety Pack, Paw Lickin' Pals Wet Cat Food, 5.5oz Cans (Pack of 24)

I lost 2 cats from kidney disease (most likely caused by melamine-tained cat food in 2007-8). When I got my new fur-baby, I swore it would never happen again. While there are several promising options that provide excellent feline nutrition AND meet mama's exacting standards, the part I hadn't factored in was having a picky cat. Most canned food has a pate-like texture... which she won't touch. There are a few sliced/chunks in gravy options... she licks up the gravy and leaves the rest. Weruva, however, she gobbles right up. Licks the plate clean - even the flavors with peas and other veggies. I'm super impressed with this food - it meets my standards for food safety (grain free; human-grade; no yucky additives for color/odor/flavor; free range; hormone/antibiotic free, etc.) AND the darned cat will actually eat it. A few bonus features for this food: - It's the only canned cat food I've found that doesn't make me gag when I open the can. Looks appetizing, like you've opened a can of progresso or something. - Pleasant to non-existent odor when I open the can, spoon the food onto a plate, etc. My small apartment appreciates this! - If any shreds remain on the plate, doesn't gross me out to wash with the same sponge I use on my own dishes. - The... err.. end results in the litter box are also nearly non-existent as far as odor goes. My small apartment definitely appreciates this! I haven't tried her on any of the fish flavors (I can't stand the smell of fish at all and I'm not a fan of the Menadione that must be added to fish-based cat food), but here's my cat's expert opinion on the flavors she has tried: Paw Lickin' Chicken: Just plain and simple, shredded chicken breast in a light clear gravy. I think this is the one she gets least excited about, so I don't feed it too often. Grandma's Chicken Soup: One of her favorites. This flavor tends to have much more liquid and less meat than the others so I wouldn't use it as a primary food. However, I like to rotate this one regularly and feed it more often in warmer weather to ensure she's getting enough moisture. Also contains peas, carrots, & pumpkin. Funky Chunky: Probably her 2nd favorite. Similar to Grandma's Chicken Soup, but much less broth/gravy and much more meat. This one also has peas, carrots, pumpkin, and the shreds of meat are larger. Nine Liver: Her 3rd favorite, which surprised me. Shredded chicken breast and chicken liver, no veggies. The liver pieces are actually fairly small tidbits, not huge chunks like they look to be in the photos. Green Eggs and Chicken: Shredded chicken breast, peas, spinach, and little bits of egg. She isn't as fond of this one, so I've stopped buying this flavor. Pretty sure it's the egg she doesn't like, as she does like another flavor that contains spinach. Peking Ducken: By far, her favorite. Shredded chicken breast, small tidbits of duck breast, pumpkin. I was quite surprised by how much she loved this flavor -especially since I only bought the first can of Peking Ducken on a whim. (It would be one of the more expensive flavors!) On the Cat Wok: Another favorite. This one has shredded chicken breast and shredded beef, with pumpkin. Steak Frites: Shredded beef, sweet potato, & pumpkin. She prefers "On the Cat Wok" so I think she's not as fond of beef, but she's content to eat this flavor about once a week. I serve Grandma's Chicken Soup, Funky Chunk, 9 Liver, and Peking Ducken in heavy rotation, tossing in the occasional can of On the Cat Wok, Steak Frites, and Paw Lickin' Chicken. If your cat is extremely picky, I suggest trying Paw Lickin' Chicken. If you feed fish, I've heard that Mack & Jack is the kind cats like the most.

Great value and love you know I'm feeding my kitties something that's good for them, isn't loaded with artifical crap, etc. They chow down and lick the plate clean every time. To have it delivered to my door makes it even better, I'm reminded when it's coming and can adjust to how quickly they may or may not go through it.

During the cat food recalls of 2007, I became aware that the dry food I always fed my cats was not a good diet. In fact - at the time - I prided myself on feeding cats @ $8.00 a month. Luckily, this Generic was not using the Gluten that was the cause of the Recalls. After trying various tastes, my budget and cats decided on Holistic (use to be Eagle Pack Holistic) Chicken dry and Wellness Chicken Grain Free. Then, we had a problem with the Wellness Canned Cat Food Recently (it was pulled from Amazon - and now my Canned Chicken food doesn't show up in a review). I then went to the Wellpet site, and noticed mostly dry food was offered from many online retailers. THIS told me something was afoot - and I went back to the forum which helped me with cat food research. Unfortunately, many folks had gone back to fish as a main part of their cats food. However, they did bring up the rotation aspect - this means never feeding the same type of cat food concurrently, and also picking up some locally first, to make sure your cats will eat the darn thing. Locally, Chicken was the least affected of the Wellness foods, and the store I get it from, Wellness is manufactured at ANI (code begins MW). This means I could also get a food that was produced at Menu/Simmons. However, Weruva was raved about in the forums, so without knowing where it was manufactured - I gave a few cans a shot (Green Eggs & Chicken was the first flavor I read - so that is what I tried). All cats slopped that food right up with no ill effects (Siberia is a 13 yo with sensi tummy issues, and there were none with this food - even after he gulped it up). I then looked up Weruva on the Internet, and found out it was manufactured in Thailand. This first gave me pause, but they do guarantee Human Grade Food, and the food in the cans look quite edible (and no, I'm not eating it - but in an emergency ;-). Amazon has a better deal on this food than my local retailer. So my order for the cans went in (I had read some negative reviews here about the quality of the food, but with the Amazon Guarantee - how can you go wrong?) I am pleased to announce that the food received from Amazon looked and tasted (according to the cats), as good as that purchased locally. So for Weruva, Amazon has my business. With rotation, you can circumvent the cost of Weruva in a multi-cat household, AND being on a fixed income, through rotating. I've settled on four canned food varieties, and one dry food (I may also be inclined to try some Weruva Paw Licken' Chicken, but for now - I have plenty of food). The cost for multi-cat households is also offset by buying the larger canned varieties - 12.5oz to 13oz, and learning how to store them in the Refrigerator. On Amazon, I recommend the following: Weruva Green Eggs & Chicken Cat Food, 5.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) Wellness Adult Turkey Canned Cat Food (I prefer the Chicken, but until it reappears, this will do just as well). Felidae Canned Cat Food for Adult Cats and Kittens, Chicken and Rice Formula in Chicken Broth (Pack of 12 13 Ounce Cans) (Its not grain free, but I personally don't like the mix for the regular, and neither do my cats). Innova Cat and Kitten Formula Canned Cat Food (I had used it in 2007, and decided it wouldn't hurt them in a rotation. Its the only wet food that contains some fish). Holistic Select Feline Radiant Adult and Kitten Health Chicken Meal Recipe Dry Cat Food, 3-Pound Bag (I have tried to go all wet, but Baby Girl - 17, has had problems with all Grain Free, so a little dry didn't hurt her). I feed a little dry first thing in morning every day. Then 1/2 can of one flavor, remainder placed in refrig plastic lid. Then 1/2 can of another flavor, same storage. The next day, those cans are used up by adding a little hot water and nuking from 5 to 8 secs (this depends on your microwave and amount of food). The next day, we have 5.5 oz can of Weruva split between 3 cats, and 1/2 can of the last flavor. The next day we have another 5.5 oz can, and the remainder of the previous can. That is four days, fifth day we are back to the beginning. A side note, many supplement with Friskies canned in order to cut costs. I personally have yet to get over the meat by-product thing. However, if it would help your budget - Friskies Cat Food Classic Pate, Turkey & Giblets Dinner, 5.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) is THE best one to use for this purpose (no glutens). 3 paws up for Weruva.

My cat who is a bit finicky absolutely loves the Weruva Paw Lickin Chicken. There is never a day she turns her nose up to the shredded chicken breast in gravy. I've had her for almost one year, and there are plenty of food items she will not eat, but each and every time I serve her this food, she loves it. I like the larger 5.5 oz cans because I can give her half a can in the morning and the second half for lunch. Weruva is a staple in our home, and we can rely on a quality product each and every time.

This is expensive, but my cats love it and they are so picky about what they eat- you can see that your cats will be hydrated eating this and its been pretty consistent favorite amongst the cats!

I knew this would be good as I have used Weruva before. Not to be disappointed now either. My cats devoured their first bowl. A little expensive but so worth the charge!! Thanks Weruva!

My cat has a is a finicky eater. I have spent a fortune on different canned foods and I end up throwing so much of it away because it isn't cheap as we all know. Though she does love Fancy Feast, there simply isn't enough gravy for her tastes. She likes to eat those 3 oz portions right from the can because the gravy accumulates at the top. She will slurp the gravy off the top but won't touch the meat. I throw out about 3 cans a day minus the gravy. Weruva really understood the assignment because I have tried every brand that advertises heaping portions of gravy and this is the first brand that met the challenge. I bought both pouches and 3 oz cans. The pouches have a heavier thick gravy like a bisque. The 3 oz cans have lots of gravy too but it is more of a broth or a juice. She loves both. She is also now more interested in the actual protein in food itself. The cans have at least double the amount of juice, when compared to other popular brands, at the top of the can. The pouches offer a large portion. I was surprised to suddenly hear her enthusiastically gulping her food. The pouches could feed two cats. I had spent a fortune on different foods for my one cat before I found this brand. There are many varieties and some were exotic by our standards because I have not seen lamb, duck or some of these fish species but she not turned her nose at any yet. I was a bit concerned because they have an exotic assortment but all varieties have been a hit. Crossing my finger because I have only gone through 5 flavors and have many to go.

My wife bought a sample pack of Weruva canned cat food from a specialty pet store. We have a senior cat with major health issues and finding foods that this cat will consume has become quite a challenge. One of the flavors, Asian Fusion with Tuna proved to be a God-Send and I immediately ordered a case of this specific flavor. At $54+ a case, that is more than I would normally spend -but with Coco's condition, figured it was money well spent for a shortened life. To say I was surprised when a case of an ODD flavor... Chicken and Chicken Liver in Pumpkin Sauce showed up, would be an understatement and obviously uneaten. Because returns of these kinds of items are not allowed, am writing this to warn other potential buyers to be wary of this fringe manufacturer and maybe others like it. Not necessarily that this niche brand had a hand it filling the order (I have no idea), but that there may be a temptation on the part of the fulfiller to push slow moving flavors -by substitution- onto the consumer,. which are conveniently impossible to return (because of food safety issues). If, in the future, this same event should happen to you, you may consider it an accident, or like myself, a deliberate attempt to unload slow moving items. I Will Never Order Wevura brands again. I will not order fringe food brands from Amazon that I can not return because..... an odd, slowing moving -"like branded Item" might show up on the door step. Best to all.
