Wellness CORE Simply Shreds Grain-Free Boneless Chicken & Mackerel Wet Cat Food Topper, 1.75-oz, case of 12

I had high hopes for this product. Wellness is a brand I have much respect for and thought this would be a winner for my not so picky kitty. The first negative was the packaging. There simply is no way of opening it without getting it all over your hands and/or surfaces. There is a lot of liquid and not a lot of meat, which I suppose is to be expected in a 'topper'. Unfortunately, after all that, my cat is not a fan and refuses to eat it. I was surprised as I still do consider this a quality product, but I will be giving my remaining packs to a friend. With a warning about the mess they make when opening!

5 stars because all super picky cats really do love this and seems to have decent ingredients. Way too expensive to keep buying, though :( As need at least one pouch per cat (3) and since it is just a "treat" it's an expense on top of their regular food. I'll go through one box in just a couple of days. EASY to spill so I cut just a small corner with scissors and pour all of the juice into a dish before opening completely. It's the juice they like so don't waste a drop! I'll also add a TB or so of water to the pouch and mix up well with a fork to break it all up and helps to get it all out of there (and increase the juice quantity by a tad). Other flavors are hit and miss but this one is 5 stars because all super picky cats really do love this and seems to have decent ingredients.

My girl loves them and I do to, only 3 ingredients and very soupy and she adores the broth.

I use these toppers to give our kittens the incentive to finish an unfinished can of food, or to "wash down" freeze-dried cat treats. Our kitties especially love the broth, although they do leave the shreds behind from time to time.

I have two 3 yr old twins, and they both typically get bored of the same cat food flavored, so I was literally throwing money away, because halfway through a case of can food, they just hated it. Until I discovered this stuff! We've been mindful to give our cats only high protien high moisture foods, as the queen is prone to UTIs. So, this was perfect, now what we do is pour half a pouch on each of their not so favorite flavor of canidae, and whala! They lick it all up, and leave not 1 morsel. And get a protien packed meal with extra moisture. This was all trial and error took months to figure out the best meal combo for them. I would say you have to be patient and always look for the best ingredients I have two 3 yr old twins, and they both typically get bored of the same cat food flavored, so I was literally throwing money away, because halfway through a case of can food, they just hated it.

So we don't save nothing in the fridge nor waste it. I feed them exactly what they are going to eat. This approach has helped with weight management too. They both have a consistent weight of 10 and 12 lbs. Never fluctuate and very active. They are 3 yrs old. If you have a finicky cat i would say the location of where you feed them matters too. My cats don't like to eat with their backs facing a large open space so I feed them with their backs facing a wall. Which is my hall way. Weird, but they feel safer and more comfortable that way I guess. Same with water. They like their water bowls away from where they eat. That may help too. … more

It's more expensive, only 12 per case, but it is the same thing. Not worth the price, due to the small pouches... but there are only so many options for pure meat feeding solutions. It's unfortunate.

Wanted to supplement my kitty's diet with foods with higher water content. She likes this.

We're big fans of Wellness CORE Simply Shreds. My kitten Jayce had tried the Chicken variety, so we decided to try the Chicken & Mackerel one this time around. No surprise... he likes it. He gobbled it up the first time I gave it to him, the second time he picked at it, but I think he had an upset tummy from something. And ever since then, he's been back to eating it as quick as possible. What I enjoy about the Wellness CORE Simply Shreds is the fact that it is all real food. The broth is great... but, maybe there's a bit too much? Makes a big mess when you open it up, though that's not too big of a deal. We're happy with it and would definitely recommend the Wellness CORE Simply Shreds.

My 2 cats love these and go crazy when they see me opening one. It's only good for a snack, not a lot in the pouch. One thing that is hard is opening it without the juice spilling all over. I've tried tearing it and also using scissors. Be careful when opening to hold it over the bowl. Or else you will rely in their little tongues to clean your counter or floor! I love the Wellness Brand, it's the only food my 2 babies will eat. And it's good for them.

My cat LOVES these! I got this early December so through all the holidays she was able to eat something special while the rest of the family celebrates the holidays. Its great! She goes nuts for these. I love them because they are literally just boiled and shredded chicken. I can pretty much make these myself. The packet does contain the broth too so be careful when opening. Definitely recommend.
