Weruva Wx Phos Focused, Pate Formulas Variety Pack, 3oz Can (Pack of 12)

I have a soon to be 19yr old cat, who was going down hill rapidly 2 1/2 months ago. He has been on the famous brands prescription renal diets (canned and dry) for the past 5 years although he was in very very early stages of renal failure...maybe stage 1. He was on the food because I had 4 of his siblings and all had varying degrees if renal failure. The other 3 have passed in the last 2 years....from cancers, not renal failure, so I'm left with one. Although renal food may cause a loss of muscle mass which is sad to see, it did control or stall the renal failure. My boy has several medical problems so when he started failing, getting him to eat became impossible causing him to lose even more weight ...to skin and bones. He was only in Stage II of renal failure due to the strict diet. It really upset me seeing him lose weight almost daily. I would pet him and only feel bones. On my last vet visit, in addition to adding another medicine, the vet said give him anything he wanted to eat in order to keep the liver working and get him to gain weight. He was really on the edge of giving up and he was so weak. I decided to try Weruva Phosphate controlled food. OMG....the cat hasn't stopped eating this after the 1st taste!! He devours this food. It seems to be a very clean protein quality food. It's not cheap, but neither are the ingredients, but neither was the prescription food which had less quality ingredients in my opinion. In the past 2 months, he has filled-out and now I do not feel a boney old cat, but an elderly cat with nice coat and appropriate weight. He was 10.2 lbs earlier in the year, then a few months ago went down to 7.9lbs. He is now 9.2lbs. That's a lot. This food says it is only a supplemental feeding, not for all the time, because it is very low phosphate and doesn't meet the FDA cat food requirements. So I have ordered the regular Weruva also, the lowest protein I can find, and add a phosphate binding powder to the food (important for renal failure treatment). Hopefully his next blood test and renal values in 3 months, will look okay after giving him this food for several months. By then he will be 19 yrs old. All I know is that this food saved him at the time, and gave him something delicious to eat again. He demands this food now....and for now, I'm happy to give him the calories he loves, although I may have an impossible time if I have to go back to a straight prescription renal diet.

My 8 year old feline AIDS cat who I adopted 18 months ago had to have 13 teeth pulled/surgically extracted over the summer. This Weruva brand wet cat food was recommended because it’s so easy to eat. The best part? He absolutely loves it!

This is not pate, but more like paste. It's white, with a paste consistency that my cat doesn't really like. She will eat this, if no other food is available. I have prescription food for her kidney problems that she barely tolerates, so I thought she might like a different option. Never try to out-guess your cat! I will try to sneak it into her dish, maybe every day or two, until it's gone. No reorders for her.

I really wanted my cats to like this food but a couple nibbled at it then refused to eat it. I'm glad it exists, I just wish they'd make a version that is a bit more appetizing for the cats.

Great idea for cats with CKD but my cat didn’t like it at all. He’s very spoiled I guess, used to his old food, but has to switch since his diagnosis of kidney disease. Texture is grate must not taste very good though, I really didn’t like the smell so maybe he didn’t either. I liked the small cans, easy to open and just the right portion. Price is right one reason I bought it. Maybe other cats will like it, has so many different types of flavors to choose from.

I first used this for a cat that had kidney failure and diabetes. Its the only low phosphorus AND low carb food I or my vet could find. It extended her life and quality of life. Now we use it for another cat with very early CRF but also a very sensitive stomach. It has calmed his digestion and his health is much improved. He loves the flavor too. I wish it wasn't so expensive so I don't think I'd recommend it unless you really need it. But if you do need it it's worth every penny.

Seems to be a good, mild food for my older cat with digestive issues, not to mention that it is low in phosphorus.Now ... I need to ask if anybody else is having any recent issues with Amazon Prime deliveries? They run late and/or do not deliver on the days promised when ordering, the tracking information (if available) is often inaccurate, and I'm currently dealing with some orders that I've been charged for, but that show as "delayed, not yet shipped". Their system will not allow me to cancel these open orders, which would be nice, since I had to purchase these goods locally instead, and the Customer Service agents on "Chat" do not seem to comprehend much. What gives? Amazon, you set the bar in this Marketplace. PLEASE do not turn in to a giant letdown. You need to be consistent and reliable.

Every one of the vet supplied CKD food ie Purina NF, Hills K/D, Royal Canin Renal etc did not for my 17 yo cat. I mean they didn't improve her numbers so basically they're just delaying the progression. But the issue for my cat is that she gets full on diarrhea all day long everyday and vomits all over. My cat lost so much weight while I keep thinking "this is good for you" as I'm feeding her. It was horrible to keep trying another sample from the vet week after week.After a few months I couldn't stand watching her lose so much weight. Everyone knows diarrhea/vomit drains their bodies and is taxing on their little bodies. So I put her back on Purina Indoor Pate which is her life long favorite food. I researched Weruva on my own and decided one more attempt to give her low phosphorous food. Not only has her bowel movements returned to normal but she stopped losing weight! I haven't been able to help her gain her weight back but she eats like a champ and isn't crying at the litter box anymore. She still has dry heaves now and then but she's not emptying out her meals like she did before.I continue to mix the Indoor food with Weruva since I'm not convinced Weruva is a 100% balanced diet
