Default Problem with Wellness

---MIKE--- wrote:

This morning I put out the cat's breakfast and they both took one look
and walked away. I have had this problem with Wellness (Turkey) before
but not in the middle of a case. I had a can of Chicken Soup for Cat
Lover's Soul. I put that out and they both ate it. Now I have to get
some more of that. Tiger has been sick since Sunday (several vet trips)
and I wonder if the Wellness is at fault. I will be calling them later.


Please keep us posted! Wellness canned food has been pretty inconsistent
over the past couple of years, and my cats' interest in it varies in
response. So why do I keep giving it to them? Because I don't know what
else to give them. When I started feeding them Wellness brand (in 2007),
it was the best catfood available in the US, that I knew about. I don't
think that's true anymore, but what are my other choices? (Any suggestions?)

A couple of years ago someone sent me a ton of links to a company called...
Berwind, I think? They're some kind of investment company. Anyway, they
acquired Wellness back in 2010, maybe, or 2009. However, all they do is
invest money. They don't get involved in production, nor would they be
considered experts in the business of whatever companies they acquire.
They leave that up to the companies. Wellness still has its website where
the employees talk about how great it is to work there. And it does seem
like a good place to work. But that doesn't mean their product is good.
If it's not because of the acquisition, then why *is* Wellness food not
as good?

I also feed my cats Weruva canned food - does anyone here know anything
about it? It's a premium brand, but that's all I know about it. They mostly
like it. (I shouldn't say "they" - it's really Roxy I'm talking about.
She's the fussy eater. Licky will eat just about anything.) I do this for
variety - too much Wellness and they turn up their noses (er, "she turns
up her nose") at it.
