I've spent the past few months trying numerous brands of a wet food to replace the discontinued brand my 3 kitties loved and Wellness wins! They all LOVE it, which is saying something. First the bad, because there is a lot of good! Why 3 gums? There is cassia, xanthan and guar in all the patés it seems. Xanthan in particular is known to cause gastro issues in some cats, including diarrhea etc. A number of your reviewers noted gastro upset after the new (now old) recipe change some 7 years ago. I had been looking for a gum-free or minimum gum food but the fact we're going with Wellness is a testament to its other wonderful ingredients and nutrition profile. If you change the recipe, please minimize the gums. Our old food only and one gum, guar. However, I do suspect my fussy 12 year old prefers foods with gums because of the texture. I've tried gum-free, more expensive brands, but he won't eat them LOL. Fortunately, none of the kitties seem to have a sensitivity. They have been through over a dozen large tins now with no digestive issues and did I mention they LOVE it? Gobbled in seconds! I only buy patés because fussy gramps will only eat paté. Specifically, I buy the turkey, turkey/salmon and chicken patés. Other than the gums, the ingredients are very clean and sound delish! Also, very glad you don't use carrageenan (and advertise that on the tin) as that would have been a deal-breaker. There are a few plant based ingredients, such as carrots and cranberries, which is fine; cats do ingest plant based foods sometimes. I've had cats who love to eat peas and cantaloupe! The main draw in the ingredients are the real meat, real organ meat, real broth and fish oil, yum!! There are no by-products or grains which would be deal-breakers for me. My 3 kitties are 1, 10 and 12, so I also wanted to find a food that would be good for all age groups. One thing I love about this food is that the phosphorous level is relatively low, which is great for senior kitties to potentially help stave off kidney disease that is so common in older cats, but good for kitties of any age really. This food also fits the budget as I can get good deals on the large cans. The smaller cans are not so cost effective, but if you've only got one cat, it is a good price for the quality. In addition to their wet food, they get a weight and hairball formula kibble (not Wellness) that they all love. Even the young one gets the weight control because he is getting the canned food. He has the potential to gain weight and has slimmed down a wee bit (0.2 pounds) since starting it a couple of months ago which is good. He is what you would call a "dense" cat...you would never believe looking at him that he weighs 15lbs! Anyway, a bit off topic LOL. Thank you for a great product and I hope my review will help others!

My 17-year-old housecat finds this the only food she will eat with enthusiasm. Until I found it she was wasting away and crying. Now she appears in much better condition and almost never caterwauls. And comes around regularly for petting.

For over a year I have fed my Persian cat Grain Free Wellness Turkey Pate. He enjoyed the food and ate nothing else and was doing so well, no reaction to any ingredients, and I questioned none of the ingredients. His coat was soft and healthy and he had a lot of energy. I was thankful for The Wellness Company, bc it is so difficult to find a Company that makes cat food ingredients with just one protein and limited other unnecessary ingredients. Some time ago, I noticed he started leaving a lot of food on his plate, next came loose stools, then bubbly and foamy urine. I found the ingredients changed and fish oil was added without any notice on the front of the can label. My cat cannot eat fish or fish oil. Feeding him from the last few cans I have left, before the ingredients changed, his health improved again, but I am having a hard time finding food now and I have tried multiple cat foods. They either have too much magnesium which I read may be one of the causes of struvite crystals in their urine, or the cheaper ingredient methionine is used, or carrageenan, all not good for cats among other ingredients, etc. Cats may like fish, but in the wild rarely eat it and there are plenty of cats out there that cannot eat fish, like mine. It is fine to produce a food with fish, for those that can eat it, but also food is needed with a single protein without fish for the other cats that cannot eat it.

My cats really enjoy wellness turkey dinner grain free. Everytime I open a can they come running and can't wait to eat

I am so torn- my 6 month old kitten has been raised Since we got her from the breeder. More than once I have found pieces of metal in the food I am blown away that this is happening. I’m also torn because my kitten won’t eat any other food I have tried other high quality foods and she will not touch it and I end up wasting it I also don’t want her to fail to thrive so I with my fingers go through the food before giving it to her and I agree with the other reviews that their cat smell the feces smells and my cat has no other issues is a very clean cat but she just smells down there really bad and she only eats this food twice a day

My cat loves this food, and cleans his dish every time. He is a healthy 10-year old, and everyone comments on how soft his fur is.

3 gum ingredients is not healthy. There are healthier ingredients. Perhaps Wellness could forth the effort.

Bom pelomenos o meu gato gosto ,  não fez mal pra ele e bem notritivo acho que ta ótimo por que meu gato ta gostando !
