Wellness Complete Health Pate Adult Canned Wet Cat Food, Natural, Protein Rich, Grain Free, Turkey and Salmon Entrée Recipe, 12.5 oz, Pack of 12 Cans

PROS:- High Quality Nutritious Cat food, Easily Digestable= less litterbox waste Helps with Urinary & Constipation/Bowel/Allergy Related Issues, Human Grade Ingredients, Non Allergenic, No Fillers, Good Flavors- even for finicky cats. So even though it's a bit more to pay up front, it actually saves $$ in the long run in the form of healthier cats (most important), less food eaten & less litter used. CONS: Definitely a bit expensive but I bought it for $25.97 w/ Free Shipping through Petco on Amazon.com so I felt that was a very good value!! I will stock up when it is at that price for sure! TIP:- I actually WET THIS FOOD DOWN quite a bit, to a thick spaghetti sauce consistency. It's actually better for the cats b/c it increases their water intake which they desperately need since their thirst drive is so low. That helps prevent & control Urinary Issues such as: crystals, etc. ALL of my cats actually PREFER it this wetter way & it makes the can go a longer ways too, so more value! I do cat rescue/fostering on occasion & this food has helped me nurse sick cats & kittens to health. The food is highly nutritious & easily digestable, therefore helping stomach & bowel ailments improve. I also have a cat w/ chronic acid reflux disease & one prone to urinary crystals & this helps keep those conditions under control. Also my sister's cat who was always snorty & snotty w/ allergies got completely better after being on this food, I believe due to no grain being used in this product. A good way to see how digestable a wet food is to wet it down w/ water, it should easily dissolve in. A bad food will be chunky & hard to dissolve in water. Just think how it will act on a cat's stomach! A lot of low quality cheap foods will just sit in the cat's stomach, not absorbing any nutrients into the body & then it just comes out as smelly poop! Also, because they are getting less nutrients, the cats will EAT MORE therefore costing more $ in food, more litterbox waste cuz it goes right through them. I actually have less litterbox waste when I use Wellness & the cats eat less cuz they are more full. After the pet food contamination scare in 2007, I really educated my self on what actually is in pet food & boy was I freaked out. I used to buy Science Diet thinking it was good for my pets but the ingredients are not species appropriate or high quality AT ALL. Veterinarians are generally extremely undereducated in animal nutrition, and they generally tout the food from the company that sponsors their schooling or otherwise they have a vested financial interest in. After having my cats be on medicines & "special vet diets" that did little to help, I switched to high quality cat foods, Wellness being one of them and my cats are thriving and some of them have gone off their meds completely. I HIGHLY recommended the Wellness brand, I have seen a HUGE difference in my own cats as well as the cats I rescue. PLEASE, PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON WHAT IS REALLY IN MOST PET FOOD AND YOU WILL SEE WHY WELLNESS IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE.

I like this food because it is grain-free and very high quality meat. Cats, as obligate carnivores, don't need grain, and in fact--if you give them something with a lot of carbs, they will continue eating until they have enough protein. Since I switched my cats a few years back to this brand, both lost weight even though I feed them as much of this as they will eat. It completely transformed one of my cats. He was dumpy, overweight and middle-aged and since the food transition he lost weight and has become more active. His fur looks amazing! I also recommended this food to a friend, forgot I made the recommendation and six months later was over his house and said, wow, your cat looks amazing! He said, yeah, it's the food change we talked about. That said, the Wellness line is not my cat's favorite by any means. The reason is that it's like switching a person from potato chips and McDonald's to good healthy food. The supermarket brands such as Fancy Feast are filled with rendered fat, which smells great and makes cats go crazy. This has none of this, so they miss it. I transitioned VERY slowly, mixing the food they liked with a small amount of this and gradually increasing the proportion over months. Now, years later, my cat eats this with gusto--though, of course, if I brought Fancy Feast back he would go nuts again for that, but I don't. This is is his second favorite flavor after this one: Wellness Canned Cat Food, Chicken and Herring Recipe, 12-Pack of 12-1/2-Ounce Cans . The nice thing about this food is that, while he now eats it with apparent pleasure, my cat never overeats. I can give him as much as he wants/asks for and he stays the same weight. I'd say he eats an average of a half 12-ounce can a day, but it varies--some days he eats almost a full can, other days less than half. So essentially he self regulates, whereas with the kitty crack and dried food, full of grain, he overate. These large cans must be opened with a can opener. I buy them because they are a better value economically--the small cans of this brand are way expensive. Even this is expensive per ounce,, but if you actually do a calculation of dollars paid per protein this one stacks up just fine to the less expensive brands. Which means my cat gets the nutrition he needs in fewer ounces. Any wet food is more expensive than dried food, but based on my cat's consumption, feeding Wellness is not significantly more expensive than feeding mass-market wet food.

I like the food the kitties eat it well and prefer it to any other brand I have tried. The nutrition seems good and out kitties are healthy eating it. The only reason this gets a 4 instead of a 5 is 7 of the 12 cans were dented a couple enough that opening them was difficult.

Overall: high quality food, affordable, has been amazing for my cat's health, cat loves the flavors Juno is super food-motivated and she loves this food. She licks the bowl clean in less than a minute each time! She likes all the flavors. Over two years of feeding Juno this brand, I've seen a noticeable difference in her health: her fur is so much softer and silkier, no more ear infections, no more dental problems, she has more energy. The vet says she's in great health. I've done a considerable amount of research regarding costs (Purina Beyond, Tiki Cat, Weruva, etc.) and Wellness remains one of the cheapest options while being high quality. Over the years, I've seen ups and downs with this brand (dented cans, levels of gel-like substances vs. food, etc.), but over time, it has evened out and generally, the quality is good. No complaints from me or more importantly, Juno!

There is a feline diabetes epidemic out there. My cat was self-feeding dry food (Purina Urinary Tract Health) which has a huge proportion of cereal carbs. When she developed diabetes the vet advised adding Science Prescription Diet DM wet canned foot to augment the dry. She needed less and less insulin and finally we were told she didn't need it at all. Still letting her self-feed the Purina dry foot while feeding her the wet canned, she had a relapse. I decided to toss the Purina and just feed her the wet food and she's been fine for almost a year now. I'm hoping she'll remain diabetes-free for the rest of her life. The Wellness food, labeled "Core," is very low carb and both my cats love it! It contains a lot of water ("no more than 78%" is what the label says -- kinda expensive way to keep your cats in water ;) I justify the expense by accepting that my cat would be needing $100 vials of insulin, plus frequent vet checks of her blood. Instead I'm spending the money on food. As a side note, our other cat without diabetes loves this food, too. She had urologic problems, was always licking herself, and used to smell really, really bad. She's doing super now and I attribute it to the wet, cereal-free food. I highly recommend working with your vet to wean your cat off dry cereal foods, especially if they're diabetic. The Wellness canned food is fantastic and might save your kitty's life!

My cats love this when I buy it somewhere else. Not sure what is wrong with this version, but they won’t eat it. Huge waste of money.

Our three big-eaters are not finicky by far, but they're aging and need superior nutrition. I can't beat the Wellness for healthy ingredients/percentages as well as price using the Amazon subscription discounts, and they eat every bite of this particular flavor (Turkey and Salmon)...ah, smelly goodness! The next fave is the Chicken and Herring, which has a bit more carbs than we'd prefer but is also very non-allergenic and high-quality. Just can't think of a better brand. IF you do the percentages after subtracting trace minerals and liquids, you will find a very good percentage of proper amounts of protein...far better than what you get with most more expensive brands like Blue Buffalo (which is shockingly inferior). Regardless, we have aging cats and want to keep them as long as possible. This is a good health item that works from the inside out: great thick glossy coats, less-watery eyes, lots of energy and plenty of good hydration.

Great cat food. The ingredients are fantastic, it is a little high in fat, but very low in carb's, grain free, and much less expensive than anything in it's category of quality. The watery complaints that some have had, I have not seen. It must have been a bad batch or two, as I haven't had any issues. My cats love the food, and are always happy to eat it, and I feel great knowing they are eating a healthy diet. I switched my cats from a dry kibble after reading a number of pages about the benefits of wet food. Since switching, my cats are healthier, lost weight, and seem very happy. This food, in 12oz cans makes feeding 3 cats a healthy good food quite affordable.

Las pedí porque no encontraba este sabor y este tamaño localmente y a mis gatos les encanta, pero de 12 latas prácticamente todas llegaron considerablemente golpeadas. Compraba este tamaño porque, en proporción, me salían considerablemente más baratas que las latas de 5.5 oz, pero al precio que están aquí, me salen más caras. Mejor seguiré comprando otros sabores localmente, aunque sean latas de 5.5 oz.

I've fed my 4 cats this food from the moment they arrived in my home (along with the Turkey & Salmon dry food by Wellness). They love it! All of them are very healthy. I do have one cat prone to urinary crystals and feed him the canned food almost exclusively, haven't had any issues whatsoever (and he's not on any meds). I love the cleanness of the ingredients and feel confident they are getting good quality food without cheap fillers. Will not feed them anything else & highly recommend to others!

My cats love this pate food! And it is nutritional, grain free. If I do the monthly delivery, it is cheaper then Global foods or Pet Smart except when Pet smart has it for $3.49 each.

So the cat loves this product .. That's awesome. Additionally she really seems to radiate optimum health. Her temperament is terrific .. Her coat is gorgeous .. plush and shiny. The only thing not to embrace is her poops .. wow very pungent. So I deal with removing them asap. Easy. Side note** she also loves loves loves the Wellness Kittles treats. Specifically salmon & cranberries so far due to the great price atm on Amazon.

These cost much more if I buy them locally, thanks to subscription and prime discounts, I save a ton and don't have to go out buying them individually. My cats also love it and got into the habit of begging me for their wet food fix whenever I walk into the Kitchen.
