Wellness Complete Health Gravies Adult Canned Wet Cat Food, Natural, Protein Rich, Grain Free, Chicken Entrée Recipe, 3 oz, Pack of 12 Cans

Great quality product and price. I would recommend and would purchase again.

This seems to be working for my very picky eater. So far she seems to like it.

It’s frustrating when humans make the decision to feed their cat a certain brand of canned food because they (the human) thinks it tastes good. Do they honestly think cats choose which brand of lizard or rat or pigeon to eat because of flavor? As pet parents a cat “liking” a food should be far down on the list of reasons to choose it. Saying you feed your cat something because it “loves” it is like saying you feed your two-year old baby nothing but cotton candy meals three times a day because she “loves” it. Using rigid guidelines set out for my cats by a veterinarian I choose this brand as one the better ones that meets my pet’s dietary needs. It does that well, but not perfectly. Unfortunately it still avoids listing specific numbers for carbohydrates, which should be near the top of a cat’s nutritional needs. High carbohydrates negatively impact the blood sugar level of cats and the leading cause of feline diabetes (which is why responsible humans should NEVER feed their cats dry cat kibble). And also unfortunately they like most other brands play loose with the words “grain free” because some of their ingredients in fact are just as poor of a choice for cats as grains. Despite all that, overall they are one of the better options and by the way, a side benefit is that my cats do like it. The only thing that pushes this brand down slightly is they are at the far upper end of the price scale, even when compared to other super-premium canned food blends.

A friend and cat breeder has told me that an alarming number of cats and dogs are developing diabetes as they age. A likely cause is the wheat, corn, and rice used as fillers in commercial food. Grains are especially bad for cats because they are carnivore obligates. That means they can only digest meat. Grain just raises their blood sugar. I found out the hard way when Denny, my 18-year-old cat, lost his appetite and started losing his balance. He was walking on the flat part of his hind feet and sliding across my desk like it was a piece of ice. After a frantic trip to the vet and some expensive blood work, the vet told me Denny had diabetes. (His blood glucose was more than 500. Normal range for a cat is 80 to 120.) The vet told me where to buy a cat/dog blood glucose meter and supplies and some general instructions for testing Denny's blood sugar and giving him insulin. (There are some good YouTube videos.) The vet also recommended some different canned and dry foods that might lower his blood sugar. I felt so guilty because I'd been giving Denny lots of treats (cat junk food) and canned food with gravy, his favorite. After some experimentation, I settled on this Wellness canned food at the best food for Denny. It has some grain-free gravy and he likes the flavor. I also feed him a Wellness grain free dry food. Since I switched his diet, Denny's blood sugar has been *in the normal range all but a few days early on*. I still test and log his blood sugar every morning -- just to be sure. Also, Denny has come to expect our morning ritual. (If you ever have to test a cat's blood sugar, start by massaging the cat's ear with a warm, damp cloth for two to three minutes. The cat relaxes and the heat makes it easier to draw blood.) At his age, I don't know how much longer Denny has, but I'll try to make his life as happy and healthy as it can be. So I'll buy him this food until he stops liking it or he develops another health problem.

We bought our usual batch of cans from Wellness, the "Gravies Chicken Entrée". 2 of our 3 cats happily eat that can. Neither of them is picky but one of them is stomach sensitive. Bigger cans but copper top? Mmm... that new cans packaging reminded me of the same changes we had to go through with Natural Balance. So, after opening the can, noticing the difference in texture, I checked the content... ah! What a shame Wellness Pet! Going from 165 kcal/can to 128 kcal per can... more water and guess what... higher price of course! As a reminder, we use the reference of 10lb cat needing around 200 kcal/day With this, I'd need almost 2 cans/cat/day. Beyond this consumer trick (shame on them) the food was actually bad, the 2 cats were clearly not interested and one of them got a pretty upset stomach. We are back at looking for food for a decent price... everything is expensive and now even a decent brand is playing the game, very disappointing. I know that complaining about cat food is a pretty petty thing given the things happening in the world nowadays but having to constantly watch our backs as consumers and fight the system is exhausting.

10.21.25~ Cats like the small cans. Twice in a row, once tuna and once turkey, expected small & got large cans. Tried to use large cans. One sniffed and walked away. This is the same cat who in a small can, would devour the whole thing. The other cat who eats everything, licked the gravy, picked at food and walked away. This only happens with the large cans. Just breaks my heart to waste money and food. Don't know how~ what should be the same food in any size can~ Isn't. The bites in the large can are chewy vs small can is tender. Maybe it's the leftover? Shelter will be happy with the donation. Sharing so if you try, grab a backup so you don't have to scramble for wet food like I did.

The photo is sister Dixie and the Tuxedo is her brother, Deuce. Yes, a pair of D.Evils! I'm severely disabled and of course wonderful kids knew pets seemed to help people feel better and got them from a shelter, all shots, etc. Dixie is the shy, good luck if you see a flash, cat. Of course she'll actually fall off the bed if it's just Mom. Being in and out of the hospital non-stop and of course by now, observation skills to the max, I smelled an odor. I've smelled this order 3 times since I was a kid. Complete kidney blockage. 2 years old, know what's going on, both of us ended up in the hospital at the same time. The vet already gave the worst scenario. If he even lived through the surgery, he'd be incontinent, and most likely there monthly for fluids so she left a shunt in. I live on disability, not a dime left at the end of the month. A close friend and I spent non-stop hours researching this. 3 more infections within 6 months. The last taking most of his vision. Old basement, raw sewage liquid dripping down in dust and dirt, I'm thinking old washer. Too late. A close friend and I spent hours and hours online trying to figure out a diet for him. One site had Wellness in the top 10. Not cheap but not as bad as others. As much liquid as possible. I invented kitty soup first, lol. A spoonful of less expensive food mixed with tons of warm water. Oh yes, healthy Dixie likes his food too...So the monthly visit and IV was told to me in January. It's December now. I spend hours each month trying to find the lowest price but will not change his diet. I have a feeling he'll be going back soon for a visit by the way he's acting, sluggish, etc. I have a feeling a trip is coming up. FYI: I have the most fussy eaters, so I thought. They both love it. Vet bill? I'm still paying off family and friends from January. If something like this happens to you, Wellness has of course ingredients/percentages/high or low fiber. It's definitely worth a shot!

This food is a big hit with my cats. They eat every bit of it. It’s pricey but I’m not tossing anything in the trash and the cats are healthy.

Keep getting a few dented cans where I have to discard. Product is expensive and not getting full product is disappoint. Food is good though. My car likes it.

This was the only food I could get my cat to eat. It used to be made in the USA. Now it is made in Thailand and either the label is wrong or the formula was changed. It doesn't look or smell anything like the previous cans I have bought and my cat refuses to eat it now.
