Weruva Wx Phos Focused Pate Formulas 5.5oz Can Variety Pack, Pack of 12

This uber-expensive, smooth, luxury mouse-pudding of a cat puree is SOOOO addictive. Now we have to let ALL the members of our pride have some when we feed it to our "Low Phos" patients. It's expensive, not always available, and like kitty crack....apparently. It disappears from the plates before we can even walk the empty can to the sink. It's not only highly palatable to sick kitty, but sadly, EVERONE else! Aside from the economic hit we're taking, WE even enjoy feeding it to them, as it has no strong objectionable smell, and the can is so easy to clean (unlike Dave's low phos - which has the hardest to clean can we've ever encountered). It's got everything one wants in a quality low-phos food....except affordability. Thank goodness Weruva now offers this premium pate in the 5.5 oz cans....we just wish Amazon could keep the 5.5 in stock...so our little spoiled pride doesn't tear out ALL the mill work around the doors, shred the mail, and break things of "comparable value," while they're jonesing for their "drug" and punishing us for giving them ONLY the other "healthy" foods in their usual rotation. (It's as well tolerated to sick cats as that horrible-smelling Rx pate you get from the vet for your cats when they require "hospice" type care....but Weruva's has no objectionable smell to humans that our two sensitive vegan noses can detect). Please Weruva....can you make your kitty crack pate more affordable? Please?

Excellent product. I mix it with Ziwi canned cat food to help mitigate the cost of the Ziwi. In addition, it's lower in phosphates (good for the kidneys), and adds water for hydration. Cats love it!

My 14-year-old cat with CKD has started rejecting his prescription food, so I bought this for some variety. Compared to prescription brands, this food has lower phosphorus, but higher protein due to the egg whites. The lower carbs in this food is probably what makes it more appealing to cats than prescription food. As soon as I opened the can and let kitty sniff it, he started meowing like crazy and chasing me until I gave him a spoonful. So funny because he is normally such a calm cat. I introduced this food more quickly than I would usually introduce a new food due to him not eating his regular food, but he did not throw up at all. So it looks like this food is easy on the stomach. The long chicken shreds seem to be kind of difficult to chew (even though he has all of his teeth) and he inadvertently spits some of it out. After a few days of eating this, he has started leaving a lot of the chicken behind and I need to coax him to eat it. But that could just be a problem with my cat. Overall, I will probably keep buying this because my cat really likes the flavor despite being very picky and it is easy to get him to eat this. But the value for the money is not great, and ultimately even more pricey than prescription kidney foods. He eats ~3 cans a day of this, which would be $25 for just 4 days of food. He needs to eat more of this than he would other foods, because the weight of the food comes mostly from the liquid inside.

I have a soon to be 19yr old cat, who was going down hill rapidly 2 1/2 months ago. He has been on the famous brands prescription renal diets (canned and dry) for the past 5 years although he was in very very early stages of renal failure...maybe stage 1. He was on the food because I had 4 of his siblings and all had varying degrees if renal failure. The other 3 have passed in the last 2 years....from cancers, not renal failure, so I'm left with one. Although renal food may cause a loss of muscle mass which is sad to see, it did control or stall the renal failure. My boy has several medical problems so when he started failing, getting him to eat became impossible causing him to lose even more weight ...to skin and bones. He was only in Stage II of renal failure due to the strict diet. It really upset me seeing him lose weight almost daily. I would pet him and only feel bones. On my last vet visit, in addition to adding another medicine, the vet said give him anything he wanted to eat in order to keep the liver working and get him to gain weight. He was really on the edge of giving up and he was so weak. I decided to try Weruva Phosphate controlled food. OMG....the cat hasn't stopped eating this after the 1st taste!! He devours this food. It seems to be a very clean protein quality food. It's not cheap, but neither are the ingredients, but neither was the prescription food which had less quality ingredients in my opinion. In the past 2 months, he has filled-out and now I do not feel a boney old cat, but an elderly cat with nice coat and appropriate weight. He was 10.2 lbs earlier in the year, then a few months ago went down to 7.9lbs. He is now 9.2lbs. That's a lot. This food says it is only a supplemental feeding, not for all the time, because it is very low phosphate and doesn't meet the FDA cat food requirements. So I have ordered the regular Weruva also, the lowest protein I can find, and add a phosphate binding powder to the food (important for renal failure treatment). Hopefully his next blood test and renal values in 3 months, will look okay after giving him this food for several months. By then he will be 19 yrs old. All I know is that this food saved him at the time, and gave him something delicious to eat again. He demands this food now....and for now, I'm happy to give him the calories he loves, although I may have an impossible time if I have to go back to a straight prescription renal diet.

the can was not protected and arrived really hot

My cat is fed the purée form chicken flavour mixed with phosphate binders. He is syringe fed easily. He prefers this to Hills Prescription food.

came crashed… it’s expensive though
