Weruva canned food

Thread Starter 
I've been trying to get my cats on a high quality wet food (one of them is a Fancy Feast addict). I tried Merrick, and they weren't crazy about it. But they seem to really like the Weruva. Does anyone have thoughts on this brand? The ingrediants seem very good, but I just noticed that it's from Thailand. That worries me a little. Anyone???

I take it as yours love food that is in chunks/shreds? Nightmare is not a huge fan of Weruva, or any chunky food, so I haven't done much research about them. However, perhaps this list will help?


Here is a list of wet food that is in chunks/shreds (vs. pate):

-Innova Flex
-Nature's Variety Homestyle
-Weruva
-SOME Merrickflavors (some are pate and some are chunks, check labels or experiment)
-Wellness POUCHES
-Blue Buffalo healthy Gourmet
-By Nature Goldleaf selects
-Soulistic (Petco "brand" which is I think actually made for them by Weruva)

There is another thread on this site I believe that discusses Weruva. Maybe it's not on this site but a poster had posted a quote from the owner of the company stating his confidence in the safety of the food and outlining the procedures taken. Anyway, without going into detail, please do not assume Thailand is a bad place just because it's Asian like China. Don't put them in the same class. Some of the practices we use here in North America scare me (i.e. rendering plants).

I feed this brand - my cat loves it. I just don't feed it too much because it's expensive and has a lot of fish-based flavours. But I don't have any worries about the safety.

I don't know why people assume just because a country is asian that all asian countries have the same dirty practices as China. Most of our pet's dishes and your dishes are made in China - are you worried about that? They probably contain lead. Many toys are made in China and have been found to contain lead. Hell, infant formula was found to have melamine in it. What a way to cut costs.

Seems like there's various ingredients that are kind of "fishy" , like one reviewer (the only one I read) said ...

my cats love it… but you really need to search the contents of the can before giving it to them.

i’ve found whole squids and random round HARD objects in them before.

Thailand is NOT like China. I wouldn't worry. I feed my cats Soulistic now (similiar to Weruva). I've heard that it is also from thailand.
