Review on Weruva Chicken Free Wet Dog Food Variety Pack, Just 4 Me, 14Oz Cans (12-Pack) by Sharon Hill

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Recipe has changed and our pets only give it 3 stars now. This used to be their favorite.

Well, Weruva had the magic formula in the past. Their Marbella Paella was at THE very top of our pets' list of favorite foods and they eat about 10-12 different brands/flavors of canned foods, all premium brands without grains and crap fillers. The old Marbella Paella recipe and the new both had mackerel as the primary ingredient and water as the second ingredient. The previous recipe, which is still what's incorrectly printed in Ebay's description as of this writing, contained calamari, shrimp and mussels as third, fourth and fifth ingredients. Now calamari, shrimp and mussels are entirely absent in any amount from Marbella Paella. If you ask me, this is such a fundamental change in the recipe that it constitutes deceptive marketing for returning customers like myself. And I DO feel deceived.And there is no question that our pets notice the change. They used to DEVOUR the previous Marbella Paella and leave cleaned bowls behind and ask for seconds. Now they walk away leaving their bowls half full the way they do with non-Weruva brand foods. Sure, they'll eventually come back and finish up. And that's how they generally are with their other foods. So no, they don't dislike the new recipe. They just seem rather indifferent.It is VERY disappointing how far from grace this recipe has fallen. From paragon to mediocrity in one shot. Lame.Hey, Weruva, change the name of this product or restore the previous recipe. It ain't cool to ride the success of your previous recipe and deliver this sorry impostor in its place. Talk about a LITERAL bait and switch. Very uncool.Still, most other truly premium pet foods that have healthy ingredients and are void of grains and preservatives, etc. typically get snubbed by our pets and the new Marbella Paella still does actually get eaten so it gets 3 stars whereas other premiums typically get 1 or 2 stars because our pets simply won't eat them. The original Marbella Paella, of course, would have gotten 6 stars if Ebay would allow that extra star.Sad. but at least the little ones still eat it.

Pros
  • Packaged in convenient 14-ounce cans that are easy to store and serve
Cons
  • Some ingredients may not be of the highest quality
