Switching to Evo

[ancientgirl]

For the last few weeks I've noticed my gang is not very happy with Wellness. They aren't eating it all like they used to and when I put their plates of food down they will sometimes sniff and walk away. The price has also gone up considerably.

I went to this small pet food store that my best friend used to buy her cat his food at. They sell only brands like Innova, Evo and brands that I've only seen in other specialty pet food shops. They are a small shop and not super fancy so I'm guessing that's why they can afford to sell the food at such a good price.

Since I know Evo is one of the best quality foods and touted at being close to their natural diet, I decided to switch them to that. I was also pleasantly pleased to find that they offer 13oz cans for $1.95 and $1.85, which is going to be way easy on my pocketbook. Better quality food at a lesser price is great.

I had to get them Wellness though at Petco because I want to begin the switching process tomorrow. I'm hoping they will like this.

I know I've read some of you here feed your pets Evo. Can someone tell me your experiences? How do your pets like it?

I feed them the cat+kitten Chicken and Turkey. It's great. I've been using it for well over a year. They like it... it doesn't smell that bad either.

I cheat and take half a can of the big cans and take a flavour of Merrick or Weruva and mix it in. You can use the Evo so sort of thin out the expensive stuff without it loosing it's taste.

I get it for like... 19$ a case which is 12 large cans. The case lasts about 3 weeks for my kitties so I'm fine with it.

Also Natura has a frequent buyer program; if applicable in your area. By 12 bags or 12 cases of food get 1 bag free or 1 case free.

Cool, thanks for the input. I also noticed this place had Merrick too, I just couldn't remember the name.

The kitties are not eating the Turkey Wellness now . I may just get them all on Instinct, it seems to be more consistent.

I have never tried Evo because they don't carry it at the Global and I won't buy anywhere else. The owners have been much, much too good to me. They are the ones who house my fosters when they go up for adoption. And they have to put up with me every lunch hour visiting my babies until they are adopted. trust me, that takes a lot of patience on their part.

It would seem that the "There will be no change in our food when we are taken over" has not been truthful. My kitties are no longer eating most kinds of the Wellness. I don't know. I don't have much choice for pet food stores. Only have 2 here and one is just too expensive. I will be driving to Stoney Creek or St Cats I guess and checking out Global.

Why do you think that now the cats are snubbing their noses at Wellness? I buy different makes for the guys and have noticed that the Wellness ones are not getting eaten the way they were before. I feed a couple of the Evo ones, can't remember how well they are received. They do like GO but it is a bit pricey.
