Wellness CORE Tiny Tasters Minced Adult Wet Cat Food, Natural, Protein-Rich, Grain Free, 1.75-Ounce Pouch, 12 Pack, (Chicken)

Our senior sassy enjoys this and I enjoy the portion size. Has easy tear notches on both sides for easy opening; additionally, I'm able to fold down the top and close it with a bobby pin if only half a pouch is needed.

I've had this particular cat since she was only a few weeks old. Back then, she'd eat anything. But sadly, that meant literally anything and she has PICA, making her try to eat many non-food items that would kill her. At age 2 she had to undergo emergency surgery because she ate a handful of hair elastics like spaghetti and would have died if not for the expensive reconstruction of her digestive tract. Ever since then, she's been far more particular about what food she eats. I've tried sticking to only foods that meet some basic quality requirements and aren't primarily filler, which combined with occasionally needing prescription diuretic foods for her bladder stones, has really been running up her food costs. It was a struggle to get her to eat the Hill's Prescription Diet food that she hated enough that she started urinating in my bed very frequently. She was fine peeing blood and having the stones, but taking away her cheap cheat foods like a can of Friskies was just crossing the line to her. She turned against all pate type foods, and then her long-time favorite of the Friskies Gravy type food became unavailable to purchase, setting me out on a quest to find a replacement food that she actually likes.After a few duds, I found these tiny portions. For once, she'd eat the whole amount and gets excited to get more. The ingredients list show that this is at least a moderate-high end basic pate, with the first few ingredients being real, great sources of protein like tuna and fish broth. As long at the ingredient list is truthful (cat food is a sketchy business with lots of lies) then I can see this becoming her new staple with plenty of flavors to rotate between.Overall she's been much happier since switching to this food (and a combination of infinite dry food left out since she's a solo cat who doesn't overeat) and the combination of the two ends up not being too expensive as she's good with 2-3 of these pouches a day and dry food when she's rarely hungry enough to want it.The pouch design is great as well, tearing easily at the top, and the entire pate slab sliding out entirely which doesn't leave behind a stinky residue in the trash.As per feeding instruction, each box is only 3 days worth of food for an average day. So that $11 price tag is deceptive as if fed as directed, comes out to $110+ a month compared to the $35 that the cheap crappy Friskies type brands that should not be the core of any cat's diet if you care about their health. Mixing with dry food if your feline actually likes it helps keep the costs down while still meeting nutrient requirements. Other similar premium brands break $100/mo easily as well, so these many tiny pouches aren't notably expensive and are a decent deal for the market.

My cat LOVES this salmon-tuna food and it didn't make him sick. I will buy it for him when I can afford to, it's expensive.

... Cat took a "tiny taste" and walked away. According to numerous reviews, my cat seems to be in the minority when it comes to this food. I gave it four stars anyway, because the ingredients are good, the portion size is perfect, and I thought a healhty, tasty food in an easy-serve, no-waste 1.75 ounce pouch would be a winner. But whether it was the slightly gelatinous texture or the smell/taste, my cat just wouldn't eat it. She usually prefers pâté to flaked or morsel options, so I thought the Tiny Tasters would be a good choice. But the jelly-like consistency of this food may have been just a bit too wobbly to appeal to my her, which is why I didn't give it five stars. When I was dishing it up, I was thinking that any cat could just slurp it up and it would slide straight down their gullets! Might be an excellent choice for senior cats or those with dental issues/missing teeth.Before reviewing this product, I wanted to be sure my cat wasn't in one of her periodic "fasting" phases, where she shuns wet food for a couple of days. But that didn't appear to be the case, because after it was clear that she wasn't going to eat the Tiny Tasters, I gave her a dish of BFF tuna & beef pâté, and she ate almost the entire 2.75-ounce can in one sitting, which was a very rare event. Even with food she seems to enjoy, she'll usually eat less than half of a 3-ounce can, which is why I thought the small-portion pouches of Tiny Tasters would be ideal (and I wouldn't have so many half-cans of cat food cluttering up the fridge). I'll offer her the Tiny Tasters again sometime in the future, because as is often the case with cats, what they like or refuse one day, they may dislike or enjoy on another day. But for for the present, this food seems to be a "no" for my adult Maine Coon.

My neighborhood cat loves this stuff. I tried another brand which he didn't touch so I had to mix it with CORE just so I can get rid of that case. Packaging is convenient. It tears open across easily and easy to push the food out.

I recently switched to adult food and with that change decided to go with Wellness Core as its highly rated for both cats enjoying it, the quality, and the cost being great for a quality wet food. I started with the salmon/tuna mix packs and the cats loved it, so I grabbed the turkey/chicken as well for the added variety. The first few week my two little ones ate every morsal of any flavor pack as fast as they could. The male would eat so fast he would then sometimes throw up!However I noticed over the weeks they slowly either got sick of the same ole stuff, or just grew to not enjoy the taste when it was the turkey packs time in the rotation. (I change up the flavor pack every 3 days) but now they will only eat the seafood flavor entirely, and only nibble on the turkey/chicken. They began eating more and more of their in between wet meals supplemental kibble when turkey/chicken are served, which tells me they don't really enjoy it anymore.The packaging is nice and no mess/fuss, and they still scarf up the tuna/salmon fiercely, but something about the turkey/chicken doesnt just isnt doing it for them anymore.

Expensive as heck. I wait for local pet supply to have a sale. Ordered from Amazon when price was lower.
