People Food for Pets: Weruva Review and Giveaway

Brulee sits up for Weruva - "People Food for Pets"

We've eaten Weruva since we were young adolescent kittens (when we could find it).  Mom Paula remembers visiting her former boss (Gail) to see her new Ragdoll kittens: Minks and Max who were about the same age we were.  Gail pulled out a can of Weruva Paw Lickin' Chicken and told Mom Paula that her vet had recommended this food for her Ragdolls, but they didn't like it.  Gail asked Mom Paula if she'd like to try it with us.  Mom Paula had never heard of it either, but she gladly took the few cans Gail gave to her and brought it home for us to try.  Truffle had already turned one year old and Brulee was a couple of days of turning a year old, so Mom Paula felt it was okay to let us have adult food.  When she opened the can, she couldn't believe what the food looked and smelled like.  It was shredded chicken that looked and smelled good enough to eat.  We LOVED the food and Mom Paula added it to our diet.  Very few stores in SC carried the Weruva food on the shelves where we could try out the various flavors and varieties, but Mom Paula would buy it whenever she could find it and it was always one of our favorites.  More and more stores are beginning to carry Weruva on their shelves and you can locate your nearest store by visiting Weruva's store locator.

Mom Paula was thrilled to see Weruva at BlogPaws in Nashville and she told the very nice representatives how much Truffle and Brulee liked the food, but that she wasn't able to find it on the shelves at our local pet stores.  She explained that she would like to try the various varieties and flavors before ordering cases of food online.  The Weruva gentlemen gave Mom Paula several samples to bring back to us to try.  A few weeks after BlogPaws, Weruva contacted us about reviewing their food and we gladly accepted.  There are four main varieties of Weruva cat food.,

Original Weruva Cat Cuisine Cans

This was the first variety of Weruva that we tried 3 years ago.  The Original Cat Cuisine is Grain, GMO, MSG, and Carrageenan free.  The people at Weruva begin by flaking the "fleshy, meaty cuts off the bones and hand place them in the cans."  We still remember the first time Grandma Faye came to feed us when Mom Paula was out of town and she called Mom Paula to make sure she was giving them the correct food because it didn't look like any other canned cat food she'd seen before. She thought she'd mistakenly opened a can of "people food" chicken.  There are 5 flavors of chicken and 7 flavors of seafood.  The Paw Lickin' Chicken is still our favorite.

B.F.F. (Best Feline Friend)

BFF is produced in a facility that also produces food for people.  The main ingredient is a red meat or dark meat from tuna, primarily skipjack or bonito.  The cuts contain lean muscle meat and include added toppers such as boneless chicken breast, duck, lamb, salmon, shrimp, and pumpkin. BFF comes in pouches (with gravy) and cans (with gravy or aspic).  When Mom Paula opened the first pouch of BFF, Brulee immediately came to the plate and began eating.  You should have seen her little white mouth covered in tuna juice.  Mom Paula doesn't feed us too much fish, but since we like this so much and it's good for us, we get it about once a week.

Cats in the Kitchen

Cats in the Kitchen comes in both cans (10 flavors) and pouches (6 flavors).  Weruva got its name from the first two letters of the owner's three rescued cats: Webster, Rudi, and Vanessa.  The Cats in the Kitchen variety of foods came about because we all tend to enjoy family time and conversation when eating in the kitchen and most of our furchildren are also fed in the kitchen.  The Cats in the Kitchen cat food is made up of cuts of white breast met chicken and duck breast with gravies (some with pumpkin to aid in healthy digestion), loins from tuna, salmon, and mackerel, and lean cuts of beef.  

Brulee enjoyed her first taste of lamb with the Lamb Burgini recipe.

TruLuxe

TruLuxe is the newest line of canned cat food from Weruva.  TruLuxe features five of Weruva's old favorites, as well as five new flavors featuring grass fed Australian beef, pink salmon, basa (a white fish) and turkey.   We were allowed to try the Meow Me a River, which has basa in gravy.  Basa is a fresh water white fish similar to catfish.  Mom Paula loves the flavor of basa and eats it at one of her favorite restaurants in S.C.  Mom Paula put the entire can of TruLuxe Meow Me a River on one plate, trying to see if Brulee liked it.  Before she knew it, both of us were eating congenially out of the same plate.  We never do this, so it must have been good!
