Many of your humans probably grew up watching Charlie Brown with Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin. It was always one of Mom Paula's favorite movies. Did you know there is a Great Pumpkin Kitty? At least that's what Brulee tells Truffle and she's convinced Truffle to sit in the pumpkin patch for "her" arrival. Brulee thinks the Great Pumpkin Kitty is a female.
Ever since Brulee was a wee little kitten (7 weeks old), she's been fascinated with pumpkins. She thought they complimented her silver and white floof so well. She'd heard something about the Great Pumpkin and figured there had to be a Great Pumpkin Kitty to bring wonderful things to all of the kitties out there. Brulee figured it had to be true because right after Halloween Brulee came to live with Mom Paula and Truffle in a wonderful forever home.

The Great Pumpkin kitty finally arrived at our house directly from Weruva and she brought us some Pumpkin Patch Up! pumpkin supplement. We'd always heard that if kitties and woofies were having "digestive issues" that pumpkin was a great thing to give them. Did you also know that pumpkin is good for us and it tastes great?

Pumpkin is a major source of fiber. We kitties, especially us Persians, tend to ingest a lot of floof which can cause hairballs. Adding some fiber to our diet keeps us from being constipated. Did you know that pumpkin can also help if we have diarrhea? Pumpkin is low in fat and cholesterol and is loaded with beta carotene, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc and vitamins A and C. Pumpkin can also add moisture to our diets, especially if we eat dry food. We eat a lot of canned food, but we also eat dry kibble, so this extra moisture is important to us. Mom Paula says when Sweet Praline would get sick (either constipation from hairballs or diarrhea), the vet would recommend trying to give her some "human" pumpkin to help. Sweet Praline would never eat it! We believe if the Pumpkin Patch Up! had been available, she would have eaten it!

Weruva has made it much easier for our humans to supplement our diet with pumpkin. The Pumpkin Patch Up! is pureed pumpkin in a pouch. The pureed form makes it easier to mix in with dry and wet food. The only ingredients are pumpkin and water. Weruva recommends that you feed the Pumpkin Patch Up! in conjunction with the regular food, replacing up to 10% of the diet. You can refrigerate unused portions. Our only recommendation to Weruva would be to let the pouches have a resealable top to keep the contents in the fridge so it doesn't spill out. The Weruva Pumpkin Patch Up! can be fed to both dogs and cats!!!

Weruva also provides us kitties with the option of adding pumpkin to some of their canned recipes: Weruva TruLuxe Steak Frites (beef & pumpkin in gravy) and On the Cat Wok (with chicken and beef in pumpkin soup); Weruva Grandma's Chicken Soup (chicken and pumpkin) and Funky Chunky Chicken Soup (chicken & pumpkin); Cats in the Kitchen Funk in the Trunk (chicken recipe in pumpkin consomme) canned food, Pumpkin Jack Splash (tuna & pumpkin soup recipe) and Pumpkin Lickin' Chicken (chicken in pumpkin soup recipe) pouches; and B.F.F. Tuna & Pumpkin Valentine Recipe (in Gravy).

We received samples of the Weruva Pumpkin Patch Up! and some varieties of the Weruva brand of cat foods to try. There hasn't been a can that Mom Paula has opened that we haven't eaten. We really love this food and feel very comfortable recommended it to our kitty friends. We are thrilled that Weruva is allowing us to host a give away for TWO of our readers. Each winner will receive a box of the Weruva Pumpkin Patch Up! pouches and a case of the BFF Tuna & Pumpkin Valentine canned food. Aren't you happy the Great Pumpkin Kitty helped deliver the delicious pumpkin flavors and varieties to us through Weruva?

ReplyDeleteI have given pumpkin to the dogs but haven't tried it on the cats. Thanks for sharing this! I think ,y cats would love it!
ReplyDeleteWe have had pumpkin dog treats, but nothing for our cats.
ReplyDeleteOh, here it is. Sorry. I came over from Instagram today and it was the image that grabbed by attention.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the Weruva pumpkin puree for Chester and Gretel. I've wanted to try it for a long time. I would donate the kitty food to the rescue I adopted Gretel from if I won (someday we will own a pretty kitty again but, alas, we do not right now).
That would be great!
DeleteI know this may be TMI, but we use pumpkin in our dog's diet when she is a little backed up. Helps her tummy troubles.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, I have tried pumpkin but Callie the Cat hasn't!
