Classic Cat Food, Paw Lickin? Chicken with Chicken Br

As far as canned cat food goes, Weruva's Paw Lickin' Chicken is probably one of the best around. Yes, there is a lot of gravy, but that's a good thing considering cats should be getting most of their hydration and moisture content from their food. In the wild, cats would be catching their food and eating it raw. Therefore, a raw diet would be the most species appropriate diet and the best for your cat. However, it isn't the most convenient or cost-effective, so I'd say this is the next best thing if you don't want to go raw. What I like about this particular flavor is that there are no veggies or grains. Cats are obligate carnivores and don't need to eat starches like peas, rice, corn, or potatoes. Their bodies are just not biologically equipped to digest these ingredients, so the fewer the better. Sure, cats can do just fine eating these, but it doesn't mean it's "good" for them. Just like not getting cancer from smoking doesn't make smoking good for you. However, while many canned foods claim to be "grain free", they're not "starch free". Fillers like potato starch or pea powder are still used. Dry foods are also pretty bad for cats due to low moisture and high fillers. I don't recommend dry food for cats at all, not ever, even the expensive brands. Lastly, this is the only brand and flavor of canned food I buy. However, I also feed my cat a raw diet that includes turkey and duck for variety. But of all the foods I've ever fed her over the last 7 years, this is a clear favorite. I've never seen her lick a plate so clean! She LOVES Paw Lickin Chicken unlike anything else. It's the only food that has her literally begging for more. Do your cat a favor and at least try it. If you can afford to feed your cat a raw-only diet, and can commit to that, then that's what I'd recommend. But if you would rather do canned out of price or convenience, then this is definitely the one you want. So glad I found it for such a good price on Amazon. I'll be back for more!

I only started ordering this food probably summer of 2025 through subscribe and save. My cats really seemed to enjoy the food, the quality seemed good and there was lots of moisture and a decent amount of meat which is great. I only recently, a few months ago, stopped ordering it because one of my cats developed EGC (swollen lips....) a few months after he started eating this particular food. It may just be a coincidence but as a process of elimination (after having received steroid injection...to relieve the swelling..) I'm trying to determine if this particular foods formula (gums, thickeners...) and or the chicken is the culprit of the allergic reaction. I have read posts from other cat owners who have had issues with this particular food and this brand so time will tell. I will say I think this Weruva brand seems to be a great brand OTHER THEN they put fish in most of their foods. I won't buy this particular food again, but not because I don't think it is quality.

I have tried all varieties of Fancy Feast. Even the high brow Fancy Feast in the pouches. I’ve tried Sheba, Tiki Cat and Science Diet. And my picky 8 year old cat that I recently adopted from a shelter would not eat any of them. She’d eat kibble. But not soft food. She has a history of urine crystals so she really needs soft food. But today I tried WERUVA Paw Lickin’ Chicken and she absolutely LOVED it!!! I tell you I almost cried.

My 13 year old baby boi LOVED it! He's a picky eater but loves chicken the most so this meal was a success

Very good. My cats loved it.
