Can of American Journey Cat Food

 

 

 

The ingredients look purretty good and we like the made in the USA pawrt fur sure. But, the only thing that really matters is does it taste good, did we wanna eat it. The cans are packed full, but the gravy’s not very gravy like; so mommy added water to thin it out some. Ya’ know, it’s really ‘purrtant fur us kitties to get that added moisture in our diets. Anyhow, mommy offured us a plate of turkey the furst night. Neither sissy or me wanted any pawrt of that. Mommy says she wasn’t terribly surpurrised since we don’t typically eat any canned turkey.

 

          Yeah Raena, you’d think mommy would get the message and quit tryin’ to get us to eat it.

Mommy says she keeps hopin’ sissy. Anyways, the next day mommy gave us a can of the American Journey chicken bites in gravy. Again, she had to add water to thin out the gravy.

          Thin or thick, me didn’t like it Raena. Me does think the ingredients look good, but me just didn’t wanna have anythin’ to do with it. However, based on the ingredients, me has to give it a paw up.

Well sissy, I’s did try it. I’s think the look on mine’s face says it all. MOL It was okay, but I’s do purrfur me some rabbit. I’s licked up the gravy and ate a few bites of the meaty pieces befur callin’ it a day. Fanky fankfully, we got to go visit with awnty Nora, Roo and the rest of the kitties at the cat motel and we gave them the rest. Skoshy luvved it. Meowed it was a 4 paws up fur sure. That’s why we always meow, just cuz we don’t luv somethin’ doesn’t mean your kitty won’t. Like sissy, I’s give it 1 paw up too.

Shreds Or Chunks What’s Your Pleasure #ChewyInfluencer

Meowllo everypawdy and happy Caturday. Me knows you expected a Straight From Your Kitchen recipe today since me didn’t post one this week, but me has a Chewy review me needs to tell ya’ ‘bout instead. Recently one of me’s furiends made mention of all da reviews/ads goin’ on in da bloggin’ community; so me thought we would explain a bit ‘bout why we do it. Furstly, as you know we don’t have much money and so getting noms, treats, toys or other products really helps us out each month. It also allows us to try some things dat we might not otherwise get to try. And we get to tell you all ‘bout it. More than once mommy has seen somethin’ dat by it’s description sounded like it would be purrfect fur us only to find once she’s bought it, da description wasn’t truthful. Fur instance, pate type foods don’t go over very well in our house, and more often than not descriptions aren’t clear ‘bout what’s actually inside da can. Therefur it’s really helpful when we can actually see da noms in a plate so we can determine ourselves ifin it’s worth spendin’ money on or ifin we would eat it. And sometimes we get to offer give aways so dat at least one of our readers will get da chance to try it too. So we see it as a win win. Now let’s get on with da review.

This month we got to try Wellness Core Hearty Cuts in gravy chicken and turkey canned cat food. See da name of these noms? Hearty cuts in gravy? Well we think you would expect what we did, little chunks of chicken and turkey in a nice gravy. Well let me tell ya’ dat’s not what it is at all. There was some fine print dat mommy couldn’t read dat woulda caused her not to order these in da furst place, cuz they aren’t chunks, they’re shreds. And they’re not even shreds like pulled meat. They be little tube shreds, dat look like meat and other ingredients have been puréed together and then passed through a pasta maker or large hole grater. Da gravy is really thick and a little oily so mommy added a little water to thin it out and make it more appealing fur me.

 Wellness Core Cat Food

Befur we get to da taste test, let’s take a look at da ingredients and claims.

Here’s what’s in it:     Chicken, chicken broth, turkey broth, chicken liver, turkey, dried egg whites, potato starch, carrots, guar gum, natural flavor, cranberries, spinach, sodium phosphate, salt, ground flaxseed, potassium chloride, salmon oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), canola oil, choline chloride, inulin, dried kelp, yucca schidigera extract, taurine, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin e supplement, manganese proteinate, copper proteinate, niacin supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, sodium selenite, biotin, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin a supplement, vitamin b12 supplement, folic acid, potassium iodide, vitamin d3 supplement, rosemary extract 

 Wellness Core Cat Food

As you can see, there’s no carageenan. There is some salmon oil but we’re purretty sure dat’s fur da Omega’s. Here’s da Key Benefits listed on da Chewy website:

Key Benefits

  • Chicken and turkey recipe in a hearty gravy
  • Grain-free recipe helps pets avoid common allergens
  • Superfoods like carrots and spinach provide essential nutrients
  • Serve as a balanced meal or mix with dry food
  • No artificial preservatives, colors or flavors
  • No wheat, corn or soy fillers

 

Alright, let’s get to tastin’. Mommy, bring me a plate of dat Wellness Core Hearty Cuts in gravy and let me try ‘em out. (Dezi looks intently at the plate containing the shredded bits of chicken and turkey and then puts her nose down to smell it) Hmmmmmm smells okay, let me lick a little of dat gravy. Okay, me’s backin’ up now. Mommy, you can share this with Buddy cuz me doesn’t wanna eat it. Yep, dat’s right, me doesn’t like this at all. Mommy even tried cuttin’ da little shreds up and me still wouldn’t eat it. Buddy on da other hand couldn’t eat it up fast enuff. So Buddy gives it 4 paws up. Me hates da addition of da “Super Foods” since they’re not super foods fur us kitties at all, but everypawdy’s doin’ it. So all in all, this is a good quality food. Fur dat reason me gives it a paw up. Mommy said fur da same reasons she would give it a thumb up as well.
