Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2005Canadian Wellness
I'm not at home right now, so I can't check.... How can you tell if Wellness 5.5 oz cans were made in Canada or the US? Are they straightforward about saying where it was manufactured? Or do they bury the info in a code? In retrospect, I did notice a slimy oil on the food...When I first started using it, it was more "fluffy" or dry...very different than other cat foods. Now it looks the same.. Not having any feeding problems, though... >I'm not at home right now, so I can't check.... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Not having any feeding problems, though... I am not home now either, but I seem to recall it does say it on the can somewhere. The Wellness turkey flavor is still one of the only brands / flavors my cat Elwood will eat, and he hasn't voiced any complaints yet. It is stated on the can (near the bar code) "Made in Canada". ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') Interesting. I bought two cans of Wellness from my vet (southern California). The "Chicken" formula (in a ferrous metal container) label says made in Canada while the "Chicken & Lobster" formula (in an aluminum container) label says made in USA It is stated on the can (near the bar code) "Made in Canada". ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') I've been reading these posts...My cat threw up last night from the Wellness Turkey/Salmon...I checked the label and it is made in Canada (in tiny little impossible-to-read letters). There is a real change in the look of the food - it is oily/slimy..They might be using some type of fish-based oil as a preservative/moistener. It is too late, though. I do not trust this brand anymore...The Nutro brand works just as well, so I will bring the 10 remaining cans of Wellness back. >Interesting.

Put a can outside on the porch tonight. If you have any ferals or other wildlife, they will appreciate your generosity. > I've been reading these posts...My cat threw up last night from the > Wellness Turkey/Salmon...I checked the label and it is made in Canada [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >>>> In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >>>> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') I live in an apartment building, on the 9th floor....

Put the cans in a box in the lobby of your building and label it "Free cat food, I have switched my cat to another brand". If the cans are sealed and undamaged, someone will take them... and some cat somewhere will benefit. >> I live in an apartment building, on the 9th floor.... >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > If the cans are sealed and undamaged, someone will take them... and some > cat somewhere will benefit. Good idea! :^) >> Put the cans in a box in the lobby of your building and label it "Free cat >> food, I have switched my cat to another brand". Or donate them to a rescue group. -mhd Hmmm. Eh, give it a try. You might be surprised at what shows up ... on the 9th floor. Ya know, in giving this matter a few seconds thought, there is nobody in our circle of friends living in an apartment. >I live in an apartment building, on the 9th floor.... > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>>>>> In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >>>>>> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |
