Questions & Answers

10 Customer Questions


Why is it called “Chicken & Duck” when Tuna is listed before Duck in the ingredients? This is misleading :(

Answer by ChewyJul 08, 2019
Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. The high water content in chicken, beef and lamb makes these ingredients weigh more than dry ingredients such as grains, meals and vitamins, so they are often listed first.

Please specify how many pouches in the box?

Answer by ChewyNov 16, 2019
One box includes (12) pouches.

what is the sodium percentage on dry matter basis please?

Answer by ChewyJan 15, 2021
Weruva Cats in the Kitchen Love Me Tender Chicken & Duck Recipe Grain-Free Cat Food Pouches has a sodium content of 0.04% on an as fed basis and 0.22% on a dry matter basis.

Are the pouches recyclable?

Answer by ChewyMar 24, 2024
This pouch is recyclable via Terracycle.

I have been buying Love Me Tender for my cat for a few years. Everything was going fine at first and she really liked it. Over the past year, the formula has been inconsistent. I have bought a total of three boxes that she would not touch. They all went to waste. One box would be fine, and then one would be different somehow and flatly rejected. For the price charged, we deserve better. I just bought my very last box of Love Me Tender, which was rejected. Purchase at your own risk.

Our Catsby had nose in the package before I could get it opened. He's been sick so this really delighted me.

High moisture and protein

My old man loves this food, and with his age and urinary history, the high moisture and low phos is perfect for him. He's very picky with food but will gobble this

My old man loves this food, and with his age and urinary history, the high moisture and low phos is perfect for him. He's very picky with food but will gobble this down like it's the best thing in the world, and I know it's keeping him healthy

Packets wasteful- hard to empty

These pouches seem handy, but they are pleated and hard to get the food out. As pricey as they are, its definitely wasteful when you cant get the sticky food out

A nice change from the usual

The duck and chicken is a nice change from the same old flavors. Not too strong and my cats tolerate it well

I guess he doesn’t like duck.

I wanted my cat to try a variety of food to see what he likes or doesn’t. It was disappointing to see that he wouldn’t touch this.

Lack of actual food.

Too much gravy, not enough acutal food. Much prefer the Backcountry pouches.
