Wellness Core Signature Selects Natural Canned Grain Free Cat Food Variety Pack, Flaked Seafood Selection, 5.3 Ounce Can (Pack of 12)

The best and healthy cat food ever !! a little bit expensive, but I believe it’s worth it. Since my cats started eating the wellness core signature food, their fur is silky and smooth. A wonderful, healthy food alternative for cats.

Our two fluffy orange boys have been a struggle to appropriately feed from the moment we adopted them. Previously I had always had bengals and hybrid cats, so besides some ingredient restrictions, feeding them was never an issue. I didn't swap brands around much, but they were more than eager to eat anything we put down for them. These babies? They are full on cat-cats, and are beyond picky. Treats and Churus? Game on. Food? Nope! Even when tiny kittens, they didn't want to touch the wet foods we'd put down. They were content with dry food, but I wanted them to have a balanced diet with more hydration. By the time we had tried nearly every wet kitten food on the market and narrowed it down to one specific flavor and texture they liked, it was time to move onto adult food and the battle started all over again. Of course they didn't like the adult version of the only thing they'd ever eat! I have tried so many different types, and at least narrowed down textures and flavors they'll accept. No paté, no chunks, no strips, no broth. They'll lick up the gravy from a food, and leave the remnants. They'll snub poultry, and want fish: preferably salmon, but tuna is okay. I had finally found a food that they would eat, but it was limited ingredient to the extreme: basically just chunks of tuna/salmon in gravy. They were still mostly wasting the meat, and honestly I didn't want them eating pure tuna every day because of mercury. They needed something more balanced, so every time we went to the pet store, I'd grab a couple of cans of a new brand or formula we hadn't tried yet. And within their texture and flavor demands, of course. Every time it was like I was throwing my money away. We have donated so much food to our local shelter, it's like we were their supplier. Our last trip to the pet store, again browsing, I had thought I had tried everything, and then I saw these cans and was surprised I had overlooked the Wellness Core line before. I had regularly fed my previous cats Wellness and liked the high quality for the price point. It was actually one of the first brands I tried with these boys for adult food, so I wasn't optimistic but it was worth the shot. Imagine my shock when they went crazy for the tuna and shrimp! I'd never seen them so concentrated on eating, staying at their bowls until they were near empty. Even with the stuff they were okay with, they'd sniff, walk away, and get around to it later. I was overjoyed that we finally found a food they truly liked and would eat, and one that also came in the big cans so we can just split one at meals, less waste, and a better value too. I think the texture is just right for them: not too thick or thin. The next night we tried the tuna and salmon: Success! I could almost weep I was so happy for them finally, after two years, to willingly eat a wet food. It's truly a miracle, and I'm so happy that I can buy this combo of cans in bulk now. Thank you, Wellness!

Too expensive, but it’s all my cats ever want. Good ingredients, keeps my cats healthy.

Let's face it, those of us with cats (in my case, 4 indoor cats), know that they can be very picky eaters. For our cats, we'll find a food type (brand) that they'll initially like for the most part, but that may only last for a few months before they begin to thumb their noses up and walk away. I hate when this happens, and then trying to experiment and find another brand/type that they'll like, becomes a chore. But we're all used to this behavior. Having said that, any type of pet food reviews tend to be subjective, because no two animals will have the same tastes - kind of like humans! We ordered a 12-pack of this particular Wellness CORE Signature Selects cat food. Our cats did eat perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 of the contents of the food that I laid out. Two out of the four cats just sampled a few bites and walked away, whereas the other 2 came back for seconds at least - but they never finished the food. Now, is it the type of food where they'll go bonkers and finish everything off? NO it's not, but at least my cats gave it a try. Will I be buying more of Wellness CORE canned cat food? No, because there are a few other brands that my cats absolutely adore (i.e. Reveal, Applaws, and some Weruva flavors), and they'll lick the bowls clean. But I did want to give this Wellness brand a try, so I can now check them off my checklist as not something that our cats enjoyed. So in my case, I'm giving them 3 stars out of 5.

It makes me sad to go back and see that the seafood selection includes CHICKEN. I have one cat that is allergic to chicken and therefore had bought the seafood variety - ensuring there was no chicken, including chicken bi-products. The cats (one rather picky in his old age, the other will each just about any) didn't really care for these.
