Weruva Wx Phos Focused Chicken Formula in Gravy 5.5oz Can, Pack of 8

This uber-expensive, smooth, luxury mouse-pudding of a cat puree is SOOOO addictive. Now we have to let ALL the members of our pride have some when we feed it to our "Low Phos" patients. It's expensive, not always available, and like kitty crack....apparently. It disappears from the plates before we can even walk the empty can to the sink. It's not only highly palatable to sick kitty, but sadly, EVERONE else! Aside from the economic hit we're taking, WE even enjoy feeding it to them, as it has no strong objectionable smell, and the can is so easy to clean (unlike Dave's low phos - which has the hardest to clean can we've ever encountered). It's got everything one wants in a quality low-phos food....except affordability. Thank goodness Weruva now offers this premium pate in the 5.5 oz cans....we just wish Amazon could keep the 5.5 in stock...so our little spoiled pride doesn't tear out ALL the mill work around the doors, shred the mail, and break things of "comparable value," while they're jonesing for their "drug" and punishing us for giving them ONLY the other "healthy" foods in their usual rotation. (It's as well tolerated to sick cats as that horrible-smelling Rx pate you get from the vet for your cats when they require "hospice" type care....but Weruva's has no objectionable smell to humans that our two sensitive vegan noses can detect). Please Weruva....can you make your kitty crack pate more affordable? Please?

Excellent product. I mix it with Ziwi canned cat food to help mitigate the cost of the Ziwi. In addition, it's lower in phosphates (good for the kidneys), and adds water for hydration. Cats love it!

My 14-year-old cat with CKD has started rejecting his prescription food, so I bought this for some variety. Compared to prescription brands, this food has lower phosphorus, but higher protein due to the egg whites. The lower carbs in this food is probably what makes it more appealing to cats than prescription food. As soon as I opened the can and let kitty sniff it, he started meowing like crazy and chasing me until I gave him a spoonful. So funny because he is normally such a calm cat. I introduced this food more quickly than I would usually introduce a new food due to him not eating his regular food, but he did not throw up at all. So it looks like this food is easy on the stomach. The long chicken shreds seem to be kind of difficult to chew (even though he has all of his teeth) and he inadvertently spits some of it out. After a few days of eating this, he has started leaving a lot of the chicken behind and I need to coax him to eat it. But that could just be a problem with my cat. Overall, I will probably keep buying this because my cat really likes the flavor despite being very picky and it is easy to get him to eat this. But the value for the money is not great, and ultimately even more pricey than prescription kidney foods. He eats ~3 cans a day of this, which would be $25 for just 4 days of food. He needs to eat more of this than he would other foods, because the weight of the food comes mostly from the liquid inside.

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.

We switched over from the yucky Forza10 ActiWet Lamb Lung and Pork formula (ew). My cat hated that stuff and I needed a new low phosphorus food for her. I got her to finish 32 packs of that goop before we started weruva. That food was beneficial but disgusting. The first day trying this new food, things went great. I was surprised how wet this pate is. I don't have to add gravies or water to her food or mix it with fancy feast to get her to eat, great. It doesn't smell fierce when I open the cans. It is totally pureed chicken/tilapia/fish rather than a yucky jelly looking blob. Unfortunately, on the third day of trying this food, my cat still vomited. Could be acid build up, nausea, stress etc. We have tried the Rx renal food and that was a failure also. For my 8 lb girl, I give her half a can for breakfast and half a can for lunch and half a can for dinner. Sometimes, she can only eat a half can worth the whole day. Other times, she asks for seconds after she has finished a can. I oblige happily. It's been hard to get her to gain weight and keep her appetite up. The wetness and tenderness of this pate makes a big difference. Her litter box activities have improved. She sometimes has constipation but the high moisture food wil help. She is more hydrated and not peeing out all the water in her body all day long. She has access to a water fountain that she loves. To my ckd parents, stay persistent and you will see improvement. When we found out she had ckd, we switched away from Orijen kibble and went completely to wet food. She vomits more with kibble, cant explain why. Change the portions, feed heated meals, add friskies Lil gravies, use the kidney support gold supplement, add probiotics, and have fresh water around daily. Nausea is a big reason our cattos don't like the food. My pickiest eater loves lapping up the weruva variety pack, on her good days.

I had really high hopes for this cat food, as my girl only has 1 functioning kidney and is having issues with that right now. After about a week of eating this food, she threw everything up and had a little diarrhea. I went back to the old food for a few days and reintroduced this wet food more slowly. When I got up to a 1/2 can serving (after about 5 days) she again threw up all her food and this time much worse diarrhea. She'd never had this problem while switching foods before. Never had diarrhea in the 10 years I've had her.

In the hush of evening, when a cat’s quiet footsteps drift like shadows across the room, Weruva Wx Phos Focused Wet Cat Food offers a gentle solace—subtle, subdued, and crafted with a care that echoes the soft melancholy of the moors. Its formulas, made with remarkably low phosphorus, seem wrought not for indulgence but for tenderness, as though shaped for creatures whose bodies now ask for mercy as much as nourishment. The food settles into the dish with a simplicity devoid of excess, a purity that feels almost pensive. Its natural ingredients whisper of clean sustenance, free from harsh intrusions, as if designed to comfort a feline whose days require quieter strength. The aroma rises mild and sincere—nothing gaudy, nothing false—just a modest invitation that even the most reserved cat may accept. There is a solemn grace in its purpose: not to stir excitement, but to ease the burden of dietary needs without diminishing the joy of mealtime. In offering this fare, one feels not merely the duty of caretaking but something gentler—the wish to protect a beloved creature from the harsher winds of life. Thus, Weruva’s low-phosphorus nourishment becomes a soft covenant of care, a small reassurance in a world often fraught with unease, and a steady companion to the fragile, steadfast heart of a feline friend.

Our nearly seventeen-year-old cat has spent his whole life begging for/trying to steal chicken off our plates. He had a pretty rapid loss of weight and appetite several months ago, and we learned he had chronic kidney disease, which was both surprising and scary, because he didn’t have signs of it at his checkup (with bloodwork) six months prior. He needed a low phosphorus diet, and he needed to gain back some weight, but the only food he seemed interested in was chicken. He was NOT interested in prescription renal care food, and he wouldn’t eat anything with phosphate binder powder mixed in. He lost more weight. When I saw a review for Weruva phos-focused chicken in gravy which said it was the closest thing the reviewer found to chicken they cooked themselves, I thought it was worth trying. THEY WERE RIGHT!!! It looks like shreds of chicken in broth. And our ole guy loves it!!! He also loves the chicken purée, which is kind of like a Churu in texture. He’s doing so much better now, and the vet said she loves the quality of Weruva cat food. She also said that the phosphorus levels in his blood had actually dropped (which doesn’t usually happen for cats with CKD). He’s eating other low phosphorus foods now, and some of his prescription food, too! He’s stopped losing weight and just seems happier. I know all cats have different tastes, but for our little chicken fiend, the Weruva phos-focused chicken in gravy was the key to getting him interested in eating again. Since CKD is a progressive disease, I want him to have as many happy moments as possible without putting too much strain on his kidneys—and this food makes him happy. (His brother/littermate and our picky three-year-old cat also love to lick up any of the Weruva that he leaves behind—so that’s also an endorsement for the taste!)
