Stella & Chewy’s Carnivore Cravings Purrfect Pate Cans – Grain Free, Protein Rich Wet Cat Food – Salmon, Tuna & Mackerel Recipe – (2.8 Ounce Cans, Case of 12)

This is my weekly go to for my 3 cats. Ensures no boredom of food for them by feeding same thing all the time. I portion 1 can into 3 bowls and add some water, I give them this 1x a day in eve and 2x a day feed them Stella’s dry food for cats.

I first started using Stella & Chewy's a few years ago. My cats were getting older, later teens, and losing teeth, so I wanted a nice pate for them. I tried so many of the high-end brands, Blue, Redford, etc... My cats hardly touched any of them no matter the flavor. When it came to Stella & Chewy's, they basically loved any of the flavors.Since then one of my kitties passed on at the age of 18, but his step sister is still around and kicking it at 20 and I have adopted two new kittens. Currently all the cats eat the kitten food. I do mix it with some chicken broth by Open Farms. You can find their selection of goods here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/53C93FED-CE41-46D3-970A-031F0281C5B3/search?ref_=ast_bln&terms=brothMixing it with a bit of broth makes it smoother.I go through about 3 cans a day, give or take a half a can.I did have my senior cat on a prescription diet food, but when I got the kittens it was too troublesome to try to keep her from eating their food and from them eating hers. This turned out to be a good thing as my senior cat seem to actually be a bit healthier, I use to have to get her meds for congestion, but now she seems a bit better, with only a little congestion for a short bit every few weeks. I'm not saying it is totally the cat food, but it is really the only thing I have changed in recent months.

The media could not be loaded. When I purchase a pate, I expect to get a pate. I'm wanting mostly protein, I'll add my own broth for those that need it. This was around 80% broth, with some pate chunks. I've fed just about every protein to my cats, as I rotate around, never feeding just one brand or protein. They've eaten duck, certainly chicken, rabbit, venison, kangaroo... Heck, even eel! But not one of the FIVE cats currently inside would touch it. Even when I rubbed it along their mouth. That usually works. Oh, I made up my own Churu replacement, as we go through so much. Basically chicken breasts, about 10% liver, and some sardines. My older cat that is ill loves that, and gulps it down. So I added his favorite to this and mixed, and he still wouldn't touch. I then took it out for the ferals. One that kind of lets me get close ran up and started licking, so I went inside so as not to scare her away. I guess that was all she did, as about EIGHT hours later, it was all there, untouched by any cat in the neighborhood... Which is a lot. Nor any of the wild animals running around. This is what you see in the picture I shared. Remember, some cats licked up some of the broth, and of the "solids" you see on the plate, half are what I added. I could see SOME of my inside cats not liking, or taking to it immediately. But ferals and wild animals??? Like a couple of other people mentioned, it makes me wonder if something is a bit off with this batch? Anyway, this is the kind of thing that gets class-action lawsuits started.

My cats usually love pate but they just did not like these. Not a bad review on the product itself, my cats just wouldn’t eat it. But I will likely feed it to the strays in our neighborhood

Update: When you search for the phosphorus level of this food, you might find conflicting information on other websites where it's sold. After reaching out to them via email, I discovered that the phosphorus level is actually 0.96%, which is quite high for CKD cat. Therefore, if your kitten has kidney issues, I don't recommend feeding them this food as it could potentially be harmful.I've enjoyed some of Stella and Chewy's other foods, and I honestly wanted to try their pate for kittens since my cat loves pate. However, I'm disappointed with this one because the consistency of the cans varies. Some are okay, but others have a weird brown color with a thick, rubbery texture at the bottom of the food. I've never encountered this with canned food before. After reaching out to them via email with photo, they explained that it's some of the food that cooked to the bottom of the can during the final cooking process. However, I don't think this explanation makes sense, as some cans don't have this issue at all. I haven't seen this with other food brands yet. So, they definitely need better quality control when making their pate canned food.

My 10 month old kitten loves it, however I bought these on amazon prime day this year and the cans were like a little more than half full. Otherwise it’s great cat food. Not sure if it’s just the batch or what, because i’ve bought the same thing from family owned pet stores and places like Petco and it’s been fine.

When I adopted kittens, the adoption company foster insisted that I continue to feed them wet food. As a transition, I bought this for them as I switched them to the freeze-dried raw. They LOVED this.

It was not the usual pate I buy. Same packaging and everything but I think it was spoiled or old bc it was all liquid and smelled like something was wrong (not the usual cat food smell). I buy this same food often and it was nothing like it normally is. Can’t use it because I’m nervous it went bad.
