Questions & Answers

8 Customer Questions


How much phosphorus on a dry matter basis?

Answer by ChewyJul 03, 2020
This formula has a phosphorus content of 0.14% on an as-fed basis (0.71% on a dry matter basis).

Does Weruva BFF Play Checkmate Chicken Dinner meet World Small Animal Veterinary Association guidelines?

Answer by ChewyJan 30, 2020
All of Weruva wet food is formulated for adult maintenance and is a complete and balanced meal according to AAFCO standards. Their foods, cans & pouches, are soy, corn and wheat free. The focus of all of their formulas is always with high quality meat, such as boneless, skinless white breast meat chicken and all of their wet foods are grain-free, with no GMOs, hormones, antibiotics, fillers or byproducts.

What is the % protein, phosphorus, sodium, and omega-3 on a dry matter basis?

Answer by ChewySep 10, 2020
This recipe contains approximately 47.70% Protein, 0.71% Phosphorus and 0.61% Sodium on a Dry Matter basis. Weruva does not add any Omega 3 specifically to hit certain levels, and chicken breast is naturally lower than fish (especially cold-water fish). There are no AAFCO minimums on the Omegas, so this is not something Weruva labs test for regularly.

What is the magnesium level in this food?

Answer by ChewyMar 02, 2025
This recipe has a magnesium content of 0.01% on an as-fed basis and 0.06% on a dry matter basis.

In the beginning Ms. Kitty was very interested in the food. She has issues vomiting her food, but it was expensive, she really didn’t care for it, and she finally started vomiting that. I went back to Purina Pro Plan sensitive skin & stomach and so far it’s working.

Strong smell, but cat loves it!

Opening one of these cans has my cat sprinting to the kitchen however, the smell of the food is incredibly strong.

Discovered it contained fish in it and my cat is allergic

But before that discovery he didn't like it, but he is deeply,prejudiced against anything that doesn't come from the sea - I have no doubt other cats would love

I orderedbthis item and it arrived damaged. Cans had popped open and spilled everywhere in the box. Chewy quickly replaced the item. However none of my 4 cats will touch this food. I wasted 4 cans, hoping maybe it was just cause they had a very bizarre texture and were extra juicy for some reason. But all of the cans were really gross inside. I gave it to the neighbor, dont know if her cat liked it.
