Wellness canned, grain-free varieties.

Feeding since April, 2007, to 9 cats, aged 4 to 17.  So far, so good.  My cats love the food.  Don't see them drinking water now, except the early CRF cat.  Much less stool than when on dry food with grains. I alternate mostly chicken & turkey, occasional chicken/herring or turkey/salmon.

Overall, they give it 9 paws up.

anabelle_katie had an excellent idea while back about posters listing their Wellness can codes.  Excellent idea!

Updated per Jenny:  12/08/2007
Two of my three cats continue to eat Wellness and are doing fine. IBD cat cannot tolerate Wellness (or any canned food) so no longer feeding it to him.

As an FYI - the codes are: 
Turkey & Salmon -  Best by 13 Apr 10  7WTSC1 1143
Turkey                 - Best by 11 Apr 10  7WTKC1 1024

*  Turkey & Salmon:    7WTSC1    13 Apr 10
*  Turkey:                 7WTKC1     11 Apr 10
*  Chicken:                7WCCC1     11 Apr 10
*  Chicken & Herring    7WCHC1     02 May 10

Did have vomiting from one cat within 30 minutes of eating Beef/Salmon (other cat had icky but next day - long haired) but I think I rotated it too fast on them and they have not had any beef for several weeks:

My cats pretty much refuse to eat Wellness or any other canned food other than Fancy Feast. If I mix a spoonful of Wellness into their FF, they will not touch it. They do not starve, however, because they have grain-free kibble to fall back on, and they will eat that instead.

Baby/Buster is a striped mix with a fur heart on his head, 15 lbs and his home is in Massachusetts.

Wellness Complete Health, Indoor Health:  Took a while to get him on Complete Health from Hill's prescription C-D/S for crystals and blood in urine, but taking away the grains, the benefits were less shedding, not so fishy breath, fiesty and active - wants to play and chase the birds, does not sleep all the time and most importantly, weight loss and no repeated urinary problems.

Wellness canned, excluding sea food varieties that he won't touch.  Please refer to the dry food improved symptoms. 

Sincerely,
Donna

Just recently started introducing Wellness canned to my dry-addicted cats, who have never had wet food before. The two non-picky ones eat it without question, two others will occassional eat it, but it's hit-or-miss, and the fifth will have nothing to do with it. She's super picky though, so it's no surprise. So far, no problems to speak of.

We're in mid-Missouri.

My two boys did not the 1 can of Wellness I have offered to them so far. I had to throw the can out after a while.  I may try again sometime later.. in a few weeks.  They eat raw supplemented by a little comerical wet and dry cat food.

I just recently (in light of the Natura troubles) switched my cats to Wellness canned food.  I was suprised to find that they really seem to like the grain free flavors.  In the past I had tried the flavors with grain and they didn't like those at all.  So far, so good.  No adverse effects in the switch from Natura to Wellness.  So to recap: Wellness grain free is a go.  Wellness w/grain no go.

Have been feeding the Turkey and Beef & Salmon flavours. KD loves them both, but seems to prefer the Turkey - it also smells better to my human nose. So far no problems.

SW Ontario

Two cats, ages 5 and 7, on Wellness Chicken wet for over four years.  No complaints, and my cat with allergies tolerates it well.

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. 

The texture of the food seems to have changed in the past five or six months.  The food seems moister/mushier now.  The food's texture seemed to change right around the time of the initial recalls.  My cats haven't shown any change in their preference for the food pre- and post-change in consistency.
