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

I'm surprised I could give this a 5 star. My cat is sooo picky, but she loves this low phosphorous cat food! I purchased the variety pack, and she likes every flavor, especially the chicken/tilapia in gravy. I like that I finally found a cat food that she will eat which is better for her failing kidneys and hydrating for her overall health.

My cat’s favorite since he refuses to eat medicated food. Has helped to increase his weight since he’ll eat more. Food quality:High qualityTexture:Contains a lot of moisture which is helpful for my cat’s current healthHealth:Kidney issues

Unfortunately my kitty who has stage 3 kidney disease did not show any interest in eating this food. I ended up mixing it with his regular food and that seems to be working but I have to blend it up really well and feed it to him with my fingers for him to get it. I purchased a phosphate binder so that his regular food would not be as harmful to his kidneys. That I would recommend to anyone to try if they're experiencing a kitty suffering with kidney disease.

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.

The one kitty that needs this absolutely will not eat it. I tried giving it to other cats and they will not eat it.I cannot give more stars.This review is for two flavors:Weruva Wx Phos Focused, Tilapia & Chicken Formula in a Hydrating purée, 3oz Can (Pack of 12)Weruva Wx Phos Focused, Tilapia & Tuna Formula in a Hydrating purée, 3oz Can (Pack of 12)

Weruva foods in general, are high quality, if not a bit on the expensive side. If someone is buying this WX low phosphorus food they are usually buying for a cat with Chronic Kidney Disease. As with most CKD cats, finding a diet they like can be challenging. Because these foods are made with egg whites in order to keep the phosphorus low, that may be a deterrent for some cats, including mine. I bought every variety of Wx Phos Focused foods but neither of my cats would eat it. In general, I have had good experience with Weruva, but unfortunately this food is a no-go for me.
