Problem with Wellness
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. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

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. -- Joyce Fluffy Mackerel Pudding - "Once upon a time, the world was young and the words 'mackerel' and 'pudding' existed far, far away from one another. One day, that all changed. And then, whoever was responsible somehow thought the word 'fluffy' would help." -- Hilarious recipes at: www.candyboots.com |

Problem with Wellness
I was not able to find Chicken Soup locally. This morning I tried a
different batch of Wellness Turkey (best by Feb 15 - the "bad" batch was Jan 15). Amber loved it. Tiger had a big throw-up overnight from eating some Friskies canned food that I left out so he just ate a little bit this morning. I will return two cases of the Jan 15 in exchange for two cases of Feb 15. I will pick up a case of Chicken Soup next week after the holiday crowds have gone home (I have to go to North Conway which is 45 miles away). I called Wellness but as I expected, they were not very helpful. They just said to return the suspect cases. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Problem with Wellness
Today I went to North Conway and picked up three varieties of Chicken
Soup canned cat food. I fed the "lite" variety tonight and they ate it right up. Tomorrow I will see if they like the "hairball" variety. As soon as I see which kind they prefer I will order several cases. Unfortunately I was only able to get three cans of the "regular" variety. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Problem with Wellness
This morning I fed the "hairball" variety of chicken soup. It was a
success. The plates were cleaned by 7:30. With Wellness, IF the plates were cleaned it wasn't until late morning - like 11:00. Now I have to try and talk my local shop to get the chicken soup for me. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Be careful about ordering too much. I'm always trying to find some quality food that all four cats will eat, and once in a while I actually stumble across one. I order a few cases, the cats note that the cases have arrived, and then they decide that they no longer like it. Anyone want a case of Soulistic Good Karma (5.5 oz) or Weruva Paw Lickin Chicken? Ooo, Roxy *loves* Weruva Paw Lickin Chicken. And she's a fussy eater, hard to please, so I always make sure to get her some of that every week. But I think getting a case from you is a bit impractical. -- Joyce The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just terrible. -- Jean Kerr |
