give us the foods [sponsored]

We met the representative of Weruva at Blog Paws this spring. We have sampled some of their other canned and pouched foods and were interested to find out that they had a new product coming out that was a pate in pouches. We signed up to try some out and recently got a box in the mail. We would show you the whole thing but it was raining like mad when it was delivered and the box did not make it...thankfully the pouches survived!!

The box had pouches along with information and....a couple of toys!! Goldfish and Annatto have been having fun with the toys.

The pouches we have tried before weren't our favorite delivery system. The pouches have an indent (for lack of a better term) on the bottom so they can stand up. The problem is that chunks of food get stuck in those and it can be a pain to get them out.

That said, the pate really does slide right out. Mom says she wishes they would just make a flat pouch with no indent on the bottom, but at least with the pate variety everything comes out for easy serving.

They have enjoyed the food as well. We do know that some cat owners have concerns about fish. That said, all but 2 varieties have fish in them. Annatto and Goldfish loved the food and ate almost all of the 2.8 ounce pouch. There was much banging from the other side of the door hoping for leftovers (sorry guys).

We like the idea of pouches as they certainly take up less space than cans. And this new version with the pate comes right out and is easy to use. Plus...the cats and kittens loved it. We are going to add these to the rotation of food for the fosters.

Thanks Weruva for letting us test out the new Slide N' Serve Pate formulas.

This is what Weruva has to say:

This month mom decided to review the Weruva "Cats in the Kitchen" variety pack. Mom likes to have different things in the foster room cupboard just in case we have kittens or a momma cat that decide they only like certain things. 

When mom went into the foster kitten room, this is what she found:

Mom sat on the floor and opened the pouch of food. She will say this - the pouches are nice for storage but they are danged hard to get everything OUT of the pouch. 

Anyhow, she put the dish on the tray where the other food and water dish are located. And got....nothing. Hmmmm

So mom moved it a little closer to where Delphi was laying. It took about 15 seconds....Delphi's nose twitched and she was out of there. Kittens be darned - it was dinner time!!

Delphi gives this 2 paws up. The bowl was licked clean....

The nice part is this is a variety pack, so there are different things mom can try if Delphi decides she doesn't like a certain flavor. Two of them do have pumpkin added so those may be at the end of the list of things mom gives Delphi.

Thanks to Chewy and Weruva for the food - Delphi is feeding a growing family and certain appreciates the gooshy stuff!!
