WeruvaClassic Cat Food, Paw Lickin’ Chicken with Chicken Breast in Gravy, 3oz Can (Pack of 24)

Finally--a brand that my cats (4 of them) will eat! They've gone completely off any Purina wet food that I've tried them with.

Kitty approved

My picky eater cat, with a sensitive stomach, loves this!

My eleven year old cat had been recently diagnosed with diabetes, and the vet said she would need insulin for the rest of her life. When I got that diagnosis, I went from having her on what I thought was an okay brand to running to the pet store and looking for a brand more specific for diabetic cats. The nice girls at the pet store said their manager recommended this food. I wasn’t sure if she would like it, but I bought eight cans. I was serious about trying to get her in remission or at least reduce her dose (she was on three units of insulin twice a day). I also reduced feeding her three times a day, twice a day, and only this food. After a few days, her blood sugar went from 347 to 90 (with the insulin and change in food). Suddenly, her blood sugar was TOO low. I immediately ordered a case of food on Amazon. We reduced the insulin to one unit twice a day, and her glucose came back up but still low. After a month of feeding her this, and doing eight glucose tests, she is officially in remission!!! No insulin at all, and I started giving her other flavors (since she was getting tired of eating this flavor every day). When I tell you this cat was so happy to eat this food, I mean it. She’s usually very agreeable, but I’ve never actually seen her so happy and energetic, to the point where she’s rolling on the floor in gratitude after eating this food. I can’t thank Weruva enough. I wish I would have known about it years ago. I highly recommend!

As far as canned cat food goes, Weruva's Paw Lickin' Chicken is probably one of the best around. Yes, there is a lot of gravy, but that's a good thing considering cats should be getting most of their hydration and moisture content from their food. In the wild, cats would be catching their food and eating it raw. Therefore, a raw diet would be the most species appropriate diet and the best for your cat. However, it isn't the most convenient or cost-effective, so I'd say this is the next best thing if you don't want to go raw.What I like about this particular flavor is that there are no veggies or grains. Cats are obligate carnivores and don't need to eat starches like peas, rice, corn, or potatoes. Their bodies are just not biologically equipped to digest these ingredients, so the fewer the better. Sure, cats can do just fine eating these, but it doesn't mean it's "good" for them. Just like not getting cancer from smoking doesn't make smoking good for you. However, while many canned foods claim to be "grain free", they're not "starch free". Fillers like potato starch or pea powder are still used. Dry foods are also pretty bad for cats due to low moisture and high fillers. I don't recommend dry food for cats at all, not ever, even the expensive brands.Lastly, this is the only brand and flavor of canned food I buy. However, I also feed my cat a raw diet that includes turkey and duck for variety. But of all the foods I've ever fed her over the last 7 years, this is a clear favorite. I've never seen her lick a plate so clean! She LOVES Paw Lickin Chicken unlike anything else. It's the only food that has her literally begging for more.Do your cat a favor and at least try it. If you can afford to feed your cat a raw-only diet, and can commit to that, then that's what I'd recommend. But if you would rather do canned out of price or convenience, then this is definitely the one you want. So glad I found it for such a good price on Amazon. I'll be back for more!

In my experience, this product is awesome times 1000 for cats with sensitive tummies, food allergies, etc. We have two shelter kitties, Siamese, from different shelters. Both have sensitivities, one more serious than the other. He developed bloody mucus stool and thin fur spots eating anything but the limited ingredient kitten food he had been eating at the shelter, so we put him back on it. When the kitten food wasn't the best option any longer (too fattening and he is older), we got him on a grain free potato duck kibble from the same maker- so far so good, at month 3. Every high end wet food we tried, however, was a failure until this one. The other cat, a total gobbler, LOVES wet food. Most of the high end limited ingredient brands still have carrageenan (sp?) in them. I am not a vet, but I have read some nasty articles on this (coagulative) additive. Maybe that is the issue that kept getting in our way with the other limited ingredient brands. I can't say. Weruva was one of very few I found that did not have it. I can't exaggerate how many hours I looked and looked, at online pet food sites, in all the local stores, at reviews everywhere. Our first buy was the small 3 oz or so cans, and they were mostly meat with a little broth, definitely more meaty with gravy than soupy with meat. In any case, both of my cats love it, and can eat it without problems. It's literally the cleanest wet food I have found, without boiling free range no hormone chicken and adding the needed kitty vitamins and such to it. I am extremely grateful to have found this food. If it remains like my first batch, this will be the wet cat food I will keep buying for the next decade. My little gobbler likes it so much I have to leave the room to fill the dishes before I put them down. This is the only wet food I have been able to give my cats without incident, and it's meaty and awesome. That was the small cans. Now, I am trying the larger ones.

My cats liked this food - though it seemed that a large part was water. I'll probably buy it again though - it looks like real chicken bits.

Fancy Feast gave my kittens diarrhea. This Chicken Lickin food turned out to be wonderful!
