Try, try again!

[neely]

You've no doubt heard the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Well today it actually came true! Ever since I switched Carleton to wet food a little over two years ago he ate it but not with much gusto and longed for his dry food which he gets as a snack before bed. I hate to think how much I spent on trying different brands, varieties, etc. My husband complained I was throwing good money out but I persisted. He's been doing a little better the past few months but today he practically licked the platter clean. I'm so glad I didn't give up and wanted to let others know that there's hope if you're trying to transition your cat over to wet food. Here's a pic with the proof.

Pure Vita turkey entree. When we adopted him his teeth were in deplorable condition, i.e. cracked and/or missing plus he had FORL. He's had two dental surgeries and only has one tooth left in his mouth so pate works best for him.

Thanks. The brand Willow loves, Crave, has been discontinued so I am looking for substitutes.

That's the exact food I've been using for my kibble loving old cat! We are only about 3 months into the transition and some days it's like pulling teeth. Glad to see it's possible to have light at the end of the tunnel!

Trust me, I completely understand what you're going through. Just when I thought I found the right wet food for him he stopped eating it completely. The Pure Vita was the only one he would come back to and nibble on so I persisted. Good luck and please let us know if you are successful.

Delilah was eating crave too. She seems to be happy with Wellness right now.

I feel you neely as I have spent countless $$ on food but it's good as I end up donating it to the shelter.

I'm still on my search
