Can anybody offer me commentary on this brand? I see that both their grain free chicken and beef stews are on sale at Chewy, but I don't know much about them.

I always like to rotate brands as much as possible. That way I can minimize the negatives of any one brand.

The ones I've tried are minced in gravy. But the nice part was there was lot of meat in it. I feel like some brands are like a tiny bit of meat and a lot of gravy. They also didn't contain carrageenan and guar gum which I liked as well.

@Crazy4Strays  I agree with rotating brands! If you haven't reviewed them all yet, now is a great time for it!

Great idea! I'll have to go review the brands that I've tried.

It's helpful to learn from others' experiences. The brands that I won't buy again are: 1) Spot's Stew (useless large vegetable pieces and added garlic powder) 2) Natural Balance (too many carbs and too many recalls 3) Weruva variety pack (7 out of 12 cans were seafood based)

From their website: BPA in the 5.5oz cans, no BPA in the 3oz cans.

E-mail from customer service (responded within a day) that they're pates are 95% meat, although they don't advertise them as such (like NVI/Bravo).
