My cars were enjoying 7 or so Wellness cans flavors and then one by one they
didn't want them any more so they got down to Turkey and Turkey and Salmon.
The last 2 times I gave them Turkey and Salmon they wouldn't eat it. I
threw it out and will return the 5 cans I have left over. My pet shop is
very good about that. The dry adult Wellness they still like and eat it
after every meal of canned food. This means they are down to one flavor of
Wellness canned and Wellness dry. I tried a different food and one of them
threw it up.
What's up? Anyone else experience this?

I hate to pass this up

You don't think well of Wellness? Everyone says it's a very good food.
What do you give your cats or don't you have any cats?

I use Wellness. So far, no problems. If I were you, I would call their
support number (or send email) and explain your problem. Also, ask if there
has been a change in the formula.

One of the other posters forwarded my letter. Anyway just for the record
the can was not part of the WG on the bottom of the can that we avoid.

I just bought a couple of cans to try them out again.
There was a strange oily-like film on the food, and my cats wouldn't
touch it.

How are they? You never write about them any more.

Barb my cats are such nit pickers that I have to change brands every couple
weeks or they will snub the food the only flaver they won't do this to is
9 lives tuna with cheese and egg bits

My catS are still eating the Wellness chicken. There is some liquid on
the cans but there is supposed to be some oil (and water) in the food.
That (the water) is one of the advantages of using canned food. I
forwarded the original post to OMH for their information.

I think you should have asked permission from Barb first.

My opinion -- if you want to write to a company and complain or let them
know of a problem, do it in your own words. You could say "I've heard of
people who..." or whatever.
When someone is telling you about a problem with a company, you could
suggest they contact the company and give them the address.
Sending their exact words, when they may have worded it differently if
speaking to the source, and without their permission, is heavy-handed. I
wouldn't like it if it happened to me.

It's okay if you forwarded my post. You are just going to get a PR blurb
but I'd appreciate reading their reply.

Hi,Max
I've heard it here and there and experienced the same thing..The Wellness
food a few years ago was great - tender and moist. Then they shifted
production to Canada..there were distribution problems, and the product
disappeared off the shelves.
When the cans re-appeared, they had a "Made In Canada" designation written in
teeny tiny letters...And the food was, as everyone has been saying...oily and
smelly. Maybe they're putting Canadian Whale and Seal juice in it to preserve
it.
Whatever it is, it doesn't work..It smells bad, and after Sammi threw up a
few times I threw out the few cans I had bought as "testers" after noticing
that there was a difference. Now I feed Sammi Nutro Max Cat Gourmet Classics..
.She goes NUTS over it! Licks the bowl CLEAN..(except for Veal Pate, for some
reason.
Maybe it's some sort of protest, given what Animal Rights organizations say
about veal production)...

I just checked a recent can of Wellness chicken and it says "made in
USA". I feed this all the time and find it is NOT "smelly". It does
have some liquid on top but it is like gravy. This is part of the water
that makes this a good choice to prevent UTI. My cats eat it right up.

The Turkey and Salmon that my cats don't like says "Made in USA". The
plain Turkey that they do eat says "Made in Canada".
As an American that does not make me too happy.

For a while, the chicken that I feed WAS made in Canada but the cats
didn't seem to notice any difference.

So, today I buy some Nutro Max. This time of year I like to be very stocked
up on food but now I will just buy a few cans. Worst case, we've got lots
of dry.
