Hi Samantha, not good news if your cats were vomiting. Did you return the bag or have any other issues later?

There could be a number of reasons – a manufacturing issue or bad batch is a possibility, but also issues with transport and storage, such as bags being left in hot sun or a hot warehouse, so it may not be an issue from Wellness per se.

I didn’t realise Petbarn no longer sell Wellness, so thank you – updated.

Do you know of any changes to their recipe?

Also, the article says you can still find at Petbarn, but after their agreement lapsed it’s now available via Pet Circle.

One of Susan’s posts was pinned for that exact matter, I think it should be pinned here as well though, so people know what their buying, not everyone is going to visit the page where it was pinned.

It’s not surprising you didn’t get a response, after all their here to sell the food and make money not to care about your pet.
Those that do care will reply every time and it won’t take them several months to reply either.

Has anyone heard of the Clean Label Project and their review of Wellness? They did an independent study of this cat food and the results were sky-high lead and arsenic. I’ve written to Wellness for a response and dead silence. I spend a fortune on Wellness and now have removed this from my rotation.

You can’t compare the protein content of a wet food (whether raw or canned) to dry food because it doesn’t list protein on a dry matter basis.

Lets say a wet food is listed as 8% protein,
Most wet foods have a 70-75% moisture content but lets assume that the food is 80% moisture.
That wet food with 8% protein and 80% moisture has a dry matter protein content of 40% which is comparable to this dry kibble of 45% protein 😉

That being said many canned foods can be crap if you don’t know what to look for in very much the same way dry food can be bad 🙂

That’s where freeze dried comes in, have you tried any of them?
K9 Natural has all breed all life stage formulas from their cat range.
Sunday Pets has a cat/kitten range, I haven’t really heard anyone talk about them in awhile though.

And then Frontier Pets is only dog so far, which is too bad their food is amazing, even though only Rusty thinks so, Andzia she just walks away.
Thing with her is that I found the reason she refused to eat and that was because of her stomach pain, thanks to Susan’s help with that as I thought it was just a skin pain or nerve pain issue she had apparently it was not, upon supplementing with some digestive, oils and vitamin c aids her stomach stopped hurting so much and she began eating daily instead of constantly walking away.

Karen Becker also mentions that cats are stubborn but that it’s not impossible to change them, you can go look up the article if you want, I can’t link anything here or else it needs to be approved and you won’t see my comment sometimes all day.
Even had several day old ones at times waiting approval.

I wonder how feline natural and Ziwipeak would rate for protein in their wet foods, since their formulas are almost exclusively meat.
I also guess try telling people that? Some feed exclusively wet and those that say on the pack that it’s not even for full feeding as it doesn’t meet any requirements, then their cats and dogs go to the vets with deficiencies congrats on not reading!
Reminds me of that lady at the shop who pushed past me to pick up a stick of bread without even checking if it can be used for anything other than adding crumbs to a batter lol, it was like a rock eww.
