Wellness CORE+ Indoor Pate Adult Wet Cat Food, Natural, Protein-Rich, Grain Free, 5.5 Ounce, 24 Pack (Chicken & Chicken Liver)

My cats demand a lot of variety when it comes to canned foods, and this is a product that has earned its way into the rotation.I free-feed Blue Buffalo kibble to my cats (Ella, age 11, and Bubba, age 2), so they tend to be pretty picky about canned food. They look forward to their canned food each morning, but like to have a variety. Generally, I will split a larger (5 oz) can or offer them each a small (2.5 or 3 oz) can each morning. If they eat that, I'll give them another one in the late afternoon or early evening. Usually, Bubba is the only one who needs two offerings of canned food since he's three times the size of Ella.Wet food is important for cats because, in the wild, a cat would get most of its liquid requirements through its food rather than from drinking water, and domestic cats prefer fulfilling their liquid requirements that way as well. Older cats, in particular, often don't drink enough water to meet the needs of their kidneys.In cat food (kibble or canned), I look for meat, poultry, or fish as the number one ingredient and for it to be free of corn, soy, wheat, gluten, or unnamed byproducts. In canned food, particularly the gravy recipes, I'm okay with broth as the number one ingredient as long as it's followed by protein, given the importance of water in their diet.Because of my rotation of canned foods, I often look for variety packs, and this Wellness Core Digestive Health product includes two different recipes: Salmon Pate Recipe and Whitefish Pate Recipe.Bubba has thrown up a couple of times in the past few weeks, so I have ordered a few digestive health or sensitive stomach recipes. It's still too early to tell whether these will prove useful in that respect, and I may never know because if I offer them the same canned food three days in a row, they'll refuse to eat it.Keeping in mind that 80% or more of what is found in cat food is represented in the first four ingredients, let's look at the first six ingredients in this product:Wellness Core Salmon Pate Recipe: Salmon, Salmon Broth, Chicken, Chicken Liver, Pumpkin, and Whitefish.Wellness Core Whitefish Pate Recipe: Whitefish, Chicken, Salmon Broth, Chicken Liver, Salmon, and Pumpkin.Additionally, the rest of the ingredients don't include anything worrisome, so I am very pleased with the ingredient list. It has no added grains, wheat, corn, soy, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. This isn't the first time that I have bought this product, so I know that my cats like it.I usually buy the larger 5 oz cans since if I were to feed each of my cats something different, they'd fight over it, no matter who got what. However, since Bubba is usually the only one who wants a second feeding of canned food in the afternoon, the smaller cans are convenient, too. It is worth noting that while some manufacturers have cut back on the volume of their small cans from 3 ounces to 2.5 ounces, these continue to be a full 3 ounces. When ordering or comparing prices, sometimes it's easy to overlook the half-ounce reduction in some products.In summary, I recommend this product. While I will buy a whole lot of other ones as well, these will remain in my rotation.

Grest quality and price and my cat loves it.

A true lifesaver for our kitty who came to us as a rescue overweight, with dandruff and coarse shedding hair. Her hair is now lustrous, and she likes the food texture. It doesn’t help with losing weight, and she may have actually have gained weight since using. But her skin and coat has greatly improved. Recommend splitting the can as it’s quite dense, and even adding fish oil and water to get kitty to drink more water.

Found healthier option for weight management

Wellness, why the addition of gums in the wet food; especially for digestion?! My fault for not seeing that before I ordered.

I found this cat food with great reviews so I thought would give it a try and see how my cats do with it. I have 10 cats, all but 1 are related. So sometimes it hard to tell which one is regurgitating their food or treats. To be fair, they are free feeders without meal times, and have been raised from birth by me. Tastefuls wet food, Purina Indoor cat dry, and Tempstions treats. I noticed there are more *surprises on the carpet lately, so I'm suspicious of some of the flavors of Temptation treats. I've also started providing prebiotic support.Theat said, I'm glad they happily ate this wet food.I will be happy if I get the whole box fed to them before they turn up their noses to it. IYKYK

Well, the food seems good. However they sent us the wrong kind. The case was labeled Turkey , but it was seafood. I didn’t want to open it, I just wanted refunded. This is a non returnable item. So I’m stuck with something I can’t use. I tried to get in contact with them and for the second week now, I can’t reach anyone. I normally wouldn’t care. However, this is very expensive cat food.

Simply put, all eight cats love this wet food, which can be a tough feat to find a product all cats enjoy. That said, I specifically got this for one specific cat as he has dental issues and does better with wet food. He typically is picky about his wet food, but he actually meows and chirps for this stuff! He actually begs for it if I do not give it to him on time. I do feed one can (with extra water) a day as I combo feed. Per instructions, he would need about 3 cans a day if I did straight wet food. At that, it is quite expensive. However, the ingredients are quality, I am happy with protein content, and my cat is very happy. That is a score. I have since bought this again and will be buying again. This is now my go-to for my boy.
