Actually, my local stores carry the duck pate, and it's also available online: https://www.petco.com/webapp/wcs/st...0051&langId=-1&productId=142024&storeId=10151
Petco has yet to stock the duck pate.
Unfortunately, all stores are not stocked and managed exactly the same. The store closest to me (less than a mile away) doesn't have the duck pate. I'm not going to drive across town to another one to see if they have it., nor am I going to order a case of it without knowing if they like it. I like to buy a few cans of new food from the store first to see it my cats like it before ordering a whole case just to find out they won't eat it.. Maybe my Petco will stock the duck pate, maybe it won't. But there's plenty of other food that my cats do like that I don't have to go to all that trouble for. It's cheaper on chewy.com anyway and won't arrive already expired. That's been a big problem at my Petco lately, Instead of doing a real inventory and removing expired cans, they've just put them on sale 15% of 10 or more or 10% of 12 or more. I had to return half a dozen cans last week. And that's not the first time I bought expired food there, I just didn't notice until after the return period had passed.Actually, my local stores carry the duck pate, and it's also available online: https://www.petco.com/webapp/wcs/st...0051&langId=-1&productId=142024&storeId=10151

This is very true and typical of Petco.

Like I said, it doesn't hurt to give Whole Earth Farms a try. The quality seems pretty close so t could save you some money without sacrificing quality.
Yup, I totally understand. My local stores don't carry certain brands or flavors since they don't sell well here. I just wanted to point out that it is available in some locations.

My cats are the same way. Lilith and Sophie came from the Humane Society. They became picky eaters fairly quickly. Henry came from a local no kill shelter. He was used to eating whatever was donated so he was a great eater. Then the diva sisters got a hold of him and he adopted their sophisticated palate quite quickly after that.My crew likes the Whole Earth Farms duck pate but I add a bit of water to it. They are all rescues from a kill shelter. They would eat anything when I brought them home but now they are fuss buckets and I'm afraid I'm to blame. Sigh.

So true!

I am so fortunate that our Coco is and has always been willing to eat just about anything. Er... let me rephrase: Coco WILL eat just about anything, if you let her. The only things she's ever turned her nose up to are Blue Wilderness Duck (a long time ago before we knew to avoid BB) and Primal Pheasant. Callie wasn't too enthusiastic about certain foods when she first arrived at our house, but she is even more crazy about food than Coco now.

I'm going to have to steal "fuss buckets"My crew likes the Whole Earth Farms duck pate but I add a bit of water to it. They are all rescues from a kill shelter. They would eat anything when I brought them home but now they are fuss buckets and I'm afraid I'm to blame. Sigh.
I'm convinced my cats do this on purpose.They like a food until I buy a case of it.
I'm glad someone else also avoids BB. I fell for the advertising about 4 1/2 years ago and had my cats try the dry food thinking I was elevating their diet. Wrong! While on it, my girl developed a strange cough I'd never heard her do before. It wasn't a hairball or "I'm about to barf" cough. It was more like she was choking some time after eating and it'd go on for a few minutes. After they finished that bag, I put them back on their old food Iams Hairball and Weight Care and she stopped having the strange cough. And any other brands they've tried since, didn't cause a strange cough like BB did.
