Weruva B.F.F. Play – Best Feline Friend Paté Lovers, Aw Yeah!, Chicken Checkmate with Chicken, 5.5oz Can (Pack of 8)

Great Food – Confusing Branding
My 2 older cats have eaten pate their whole lives and my 2 younger ones eat dry but also have canned fish. That said, they all used to be on Wellness brand, but then we switched to Purina Beyond during the pandemic bc of price and availability. Since then, some flavors became unavailable and prices increased so we began our search for a new favorite in a similar price range. I didn’t see these cans initially so I chose Weruva Slide and Serve pouches first. The gravy ones were well appreciated it but the pate pouches were hit and miss. Some were moist, while others were rubbery and sat untouched over night. So I when I saw the blue buffet (is that the name?) variety pack of cans, I decided to try it. So far, they’ve tried the Tuna & Duck, Tuna & Salmon, Tuna & Beef, and Tuna and Turkey and they have loved/devoured all of it! Even my younger boys who don’t usually eat pate were digging in. My youngest male does not like the gravies which is weird because he’s the one who used to love broths from another brand. But 3/4 cats love the gravies.One thing I was worried about is that I read a review on another site that stated Weruva’s cans were hard to open and they needed tools to get into them. I had that experience with Reveal, which is why I’m no longer buying that brand. So I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but these cans open up normally and easily, with minimal effort so I’m pleased.One other positive aspect is that when I open the pouches, I get the food/gravy/soup all over my fingers or the counter, but this doesn’t happen with the cans. The texture of the food is like typical catfood pate, but there is clearly more moisture and it comes out of the can very easily.The only thing I really don’t like about this brand is the packaging. It’s too hard to tell what I’m buying and takes too long to read all the extras words on the can just to find out what I’m serving my cats. I know they want to be cute and come up with clever names but customers don’t need all that, especially those of us over age 50 with ADHD and vision challenges. Give us a cute logo or image and then the name of the food. That’s it. Remove all this other unnecessary crap from your packaging. This overly complicated labeling and packaging and different product lines kept me from purchasing your food for several years. Imagine how many other older people’s money you’ve lost out on. I still don’t even know what the difference is between CAts in the Kitchen and OMG, and whatever else is named… some are pouches, some are gravies… some are named after movies, others are named after appetizers… it’s too damn confusing. Just put TUNA AND DUCK on the cant and use a larger text size so that if I don’t have my glasses on, I can tell what I’m feeding my cats. And the yellow text on a white background? get rid of that. I can’t read it. I have cataracts. I would love it if you would make your brands more user friendly and disability friendly. I would normally remove stars for something that upsets me this much, however, I gave your pouch pates a 1 star rating for the texture and how my cats won’t eat them, and I mentioned all of this too so I’ll leave the 5 star rating here because the quality/flavor of this food was preferred by my cats. But please do something about your chaotic labeling system.

Good on paper
I bought this food after seeing it ranked among the healthiest on the market right now. The price-to-portion ratio seemed like a great deal—definitely more food for the money compared to other brands. But unfortunately, my kitten isn’t a huge fan. The texture feels a bit plasticky, and it comes with a watery liquid that’s not quite the rich gravy other brands offer. She’ll eat it if I insist, but it’s clearly not her top choice. Good quality, but not her favorite.

Great food—when it’s a good batch
Like others have mentioned, my cat has kidney disease, and I am trying to find something with lower protein and phosphorus for her. She really likes this food and has been eating it for a couple years now, but sometimes it seems like the food has gone bad based on the way she reacts to it. Some cases are fine, but others she won’t touch. Sometimes the pate is solid and sometimes it’s runny with lots of broth, and I’m not sure which version is correct. When we do get a “bad” batch, she sniffs it and backs away from like it’s rancid, or she’ll attempt to eat it and end up throwing up.I’m not sure if it’s stored at the right temperature at the Amazon warehouse or if it gets weird on the transport or if it’s simply not produced consistently, but it’s very frustrating when my options are so limited. I can return expensive cat food to pet stores if something’s wrong, but I can’t return this to Amazon if the cat rejects it, and no store in our vicinity carries it. This food is excellent when it’s good, but if you plan on buying it for a long time, prepare to be stuck with it.

I love the product, My cat loves this product. If my cat is happy so am I. thank you

Good products.
