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

A fantastic affordable alternative for a cat with ckd. Prescription cat food is extremely expensive (5x reg price) so if you can’t afford that, this low phosphorus cat food is a saving grace. And my cat loves it, eats it right up!

I own a pet sitting business and am around a LOT of pet food and products. I bought Weruva WX Phos in the Chicken and Tilapia Gravy as several of my own kittes have kidney issues. And if you’ve ever tried prescription kidney food, many cats seem to just hate it. I also have cats with eating issues so I always am on the look-out for his calorie food. Norman, my 14 year old Balinese, has both kidney and eating issues. And boy, does he LOVE this stuff. Just loves it. (He is not a fan of the pate, but this formation - he gobbles right up time and time again!) There are two negatives with this cat food - the price and just how long it can take to be shipped to you. Sometimes it takes weeks! Norman isn’t amused!

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.

my cats LOVE Weruva!

I originally requested samples from the company but they wouldn’t send them to me so I took a chance on these. My cat hated them. They all looked unappealing and unappetizing so I threw them away. Total waste of money.

My cat refused the prescription kidney food but she seems to like the taste of this.

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.

I have 2 cats, one with urinary issues & the other just had her kidney removed. Kidney cat stopped eating her regular kidney food so I bought this thinking it'll be a change for her. She hated it. I tried several combinations of mixing tuna into it & other wet cat food but no avail. I even made her chicken & poured this food over it, like gravy. Nope. Urinary cat will eat it after staring at it for 10 min & she stares at me with the look of "wtf is this!?" She only eats a few slurps & walks away from it. I end up throwing it away. This food is extremely wet, gotta be careful when opening it so you don't get it all over yourself, it stinks. But what catfood doesn't stink, right? Not a bad product, but my cats don't like it.
