Weruva Cats in The Kitchen, The Double Dip with Chicken & Beef Au Jus Cat Food, 6oz Can (Pack of 24)

Both my cats absolutely love this food (and all the flavors of Cats in the Kitchen that I've tried). I've been feeding it for about 6 months, along with Wellness Core grain-free dry food. (Before that they were eating EVO wet and dry food, but I had concerns over the fact that EVO had been bought by Proctor and Gamble, who have a history of ruining good pet food brands once they take over.) I did a lot of research to find a wet food that was both grain free and carrageenan free (carrageenan is a bulking agent that has been linked to GI issues.) All the Cats in the Kitchen flavors are both grain- and carrageenan-free, with no animal byproducts. The food looks and smells very high quality (does not have a strong smell), and although most of the food is shredded meat or pate consistency, you can see some chunks of seafood in the seafood flavors. I haven't had any issues at all with stomach upset. I've noticed that my overweight 9-year-old cat has lost a few pounds since switching their food and is much more energetic and playful. It's definitely a bit pricey, but in this case you get what you pay for.

It has a really strange texture, with the jelly and minced meat combined.

I feel weird reviewing cat food. It's cat food after all. But, we don't just give our cats any old food these days. Everything has to be better, grain free, extra this and improved that. Sometimes I think the critters eat better than me! Regardless, the Weruva canned food is pretty darn good. It looks like real food! The chicken flavor looks like I just poached a chicken breast and shredded the meat with a little gravy on it. It even smells like real food! The chicken and beef is the same way. In fact, the shrimp and seafood one has actual shrimp in it; not just ground up bits. There are recognizable pieces of whatever flavor inside. On top of all that, it has the required grain free, starch free, and everything else that we wanted to give our kitties. The cats are healthy and have a nice shiny coat so I am pleased with this food more so than any other cat food.

I have ordered at least 8 cases of this product and the chicken, I like the ingredients and have no problem with where it is made and have almost fed all of it. My concern and why I won't be ordering any more, is that a few of the cans in each case the cats absolutely refuse to eat. I cannot tell what is wrong with these few can in each case, they look the same, smell the same, but the cats won't eat them. I throw away that can open another can and they eat that. I know cats are picky but I have the feeling something is wrong with a few of the cans and I'm tired of tossing the food. I will not be ordering any more of this or the chicken flavor and will resume feeding Purina Fancy Feast, which I am not thrilled with, but they always eat every bit of the food. I am not thrilled with the ingredients, amount of salt, and a few other items but they will eat it and its canned. I will continue to look for other brands of canned food. It ships fast and cans have arrived in good condition lately.

I got this to try to introduce some variety into my cat's diet. He's obsessed with Paw Lickin' Chicken by the same maker. He likes this variety. He'll eat it. It appears to be good quality, with a lot of "sauce." The only thing about Weruva food: My cat is ALWAYS hungry when he eats it exclusively. Apparently, this food is very low in calories because of no cereal content. This is good, but he seems to need TWO cans a day of this to not be frantic and begging for food every minute. He's lost weight on it - and he wasn't overweight to begin with. The food is pretty expensive to have to feed multiple cans per day. I'm going to try to keep him on it though, because it seems to be one of the most recommended foods, and it doesn't come from China. That alone recommends it - I'd never get ANY food processed in China.
