Anyone try it? is it a good option? my kitties love the dry just wanting some opinions. I've tried everything else EVO, Felidae, Chicken soup for kitten lovers soul, and Iams (not to happy with it but figured what the heck) now i'm willing to try about anything to add wet food to their diet, but still wanting to stay away from by-products and add coloring and such.

My cat loves the dry but will not touch the wet. Just buy a couple cans to see if your cats will like it. The chunks are huge so you may want to chop it up a little and it's only available in a 3oz can.

Sounds like you are in the same boat as me. I did not have any problems getting Festus to eat good quality dry but wet food is another story. I’ve tried many varieties and he just does not like. So far he will eat Friskies pouches and Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers. A couple weeks ago I did buy some Weruva pouches and he seemed to like the blue and purple pouches. I’m going to buy more to see if he will eat them again. If you haven’t tried yet, get a few pouches or cans of Weruva or Soulistic (Petco only).

My cats started out liking this, scarfed it right up. Lately they turn their noses up. I finally just gave the rest of the case to my bff, who has two cats they LOVE LOVE this stuff. He orders 2 cases at a time for his wet food rotation. The chunks are rather large, I chopped it up finely.

It sounds like you've got picky eater syndrome.
Do you leave the dry food out? If so, that has to stop immediately. If they don't seem to like a flavor, you need to leave it out anyways. Don't pick it up straight away because that is only worsening the problem.
Try waiting a few more hours in between meals, say if you normally feed them at 6pm, wait until 8 or 9 and then put down the wet. Spread it out on a small plate, or even better two different plates, one with water added to it. Or two plates with one chunky wet and one pate (non-chunky) wet. Walk away, don't give into their sad eyes and take away the food in 30 minutes. If they didn't eat any of it, put it back down in another hour. Then take away in 30 minutes. Keep doing this and don't give in. If they go 12 hours without eating, give a tiny bit of dry but no more. And then wait till the next meal and try the wet again.
Also give this a read: http://www.catinfo.org/docs/Tips%20f...%201-14-11.pdf

Good luck

I tried TOTW wet once only because it didn't go over well. It's mostly fish and none of my cats like fish (unless it's my tuna).

That's great! It's so much easier to fix the problem with kittens; if you wait too long it just gets harder and harder.

We alternate TOTW and Wellness core to avoid boredom. Sometimes heating the food can help. Raw feeders will tell you cats like their food warm. Try to get it up to body temp or a couple degrees higher. The body temp of a rabbit, bird, and many other small animals is actually 100-103F. If you want to do it easily without a microwave (some complain microwaving things destroys too many nutrients and it doesn't heat evenly) you can put food in a plastic bag and in to water or put the can directly in to a pot of water and heat it. Always heat up any extra you've put in the fridge. Sometimes adding more water can also help. If you notice the cats just licking the juice or gravy make the whole thing that consistency and see what they think.
