Wellness Complete Health Age Advantage Grain-Free Variety Pack Wet Cat Food, 3-oz can, case of 24

Cat is ambivalent, but I like Wellness products

One of my four cats. age 15. was recently diagnosed with early stage kidney disease and mostly refuses to eat the prescription kidney foods, so I've been seeking out alternatives. My vet recommended trying senior food, as it's usually lower in protein, which is desirable for CKD cats. Since she's eaten Wellness pates as long as I've had her (she's 15, and she's been with me 13 years), I tried these, and while sometimes she loves it, other times she rejects it. Go figure. But if you have a cat who needs a senior diet, this food is definitely worth trying--I have confidence in Wellness products. (I do wish they had more flavors.)

Could use improvement

The consistency is quite thick and isn’t easy for my cat to eat (she has no teeth). With the chicken, if I mix it with a wet food topper then she’ll eventually eat most or all of it. For the tuna, my cat definitely likes this flavor better, but I have to mix it with a bit a warm water to soften it up.

A Sniff and A Miss

I am trying to find age-appropriate foods for my 14-year-old cats and both of them took a whiff and walked away, on both flavors. I thought I might have issues with the tuna & salmon since they are not big on seafood, but they usually love chicken, so for them to take a pass on that tells me that something is not right here. I'm disappointed because I thought Wellness was going to be something great because of their high cost on all their foods, including this. Both of these flavors were made in Canada, and that also disappoints me since it looks like Wellness is moving their manufacturing out of the states.

Cat's aren't so sure about this

Two elderly finicky eaters know what they like. Thought I would change it up for them. And sadly it was a no go. I'm sure other cats enjoy it.

Neither cat liked it. One ate some of the fish but threw up. They are picky cats 10 and 12 years old.

Cats Loving This Foos

I decided to try this food, and added it to my fancy feast and purina one senior wet food. They all love the wellness more than the other two brands. So I adjusted my autoship accordingly.

Two outta three ain’t bad!

I got WELLNESS® COMPLETE HEALTH™ AGE ADVANTAGE VARIETY PACK as a free full case sample. I was really excited for my three cats to try this food. This cat food is really very thick. All three of my senior cats enjoyed the chicken flavor but had trouble eating it due to the thickness. I added a little water to it and stirred it up so they could eat it a bit better, which did help, but it made a mess and smooshed in the sides of the bowls so they ended up with it all over their faces trying to lick it up. Two of my three cats enjoyed the tuna flavor, same consistency issue though. My cats really like flaked food or brothy/gravy. If this was that, I think they would’ve had a much easier time with it. One of my cats had some terribly stinky poo after eating this for a few days, so we gave it to them every other day for her. All in all, they liked the food, just had a hard time eating it because it’s so thick.

My Cats LOVE It!

I received a free sample of this Wellness canned food for my cats to try. One cat loves wet pate food already, so I was hoping she would like this brand as well. I was very pleased that both my cats ran to this when I first opened the can of chicken and excitedly gobbled it down! They have both eaten the chicken and the fish variety several times, and the food does well leftover from the fridge too. The texture of this pate is VERY smooth and almost off-putting, but I don't care as long as the kitties are happy. I haven't noticed any digestive issues or other effects since starting them on this food. I am especially pleased that they like the fish flavor, since they often prefer poultry or beef. I would gladly keep serving this food to my cats as long as they keep loving it so much!
