I haven’t had a chance to announce on the air that the good folks at Weruva have come out with a less expensive but very high quality line of foods called BFF — Best Feline Friend — that is low-carbohydrate and human grade, as is Weruva itself. The difference is that BFF is fish-based (the only way to keep up their high quality standards and keep the price lower) but while fish is not a good idea as a cat’s only protein source, using it intermittently is just fine. Saves you money and gives them a taste sensation! But you can see that Mimi beat me to the punch and reminded me to tell everyone about BFF. Right now PetFoodDirect.com is having a 20% off sale on BFF and if you add the CATCHAT discount of 20% that is pretty darn great savings! Your cats are surely thinking, “WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!”
Hello Tracie, I saw photos of my kitties Chloe and Johnny girl on your website and just wanted to thank you so much for the goodies and signed bookplates you sent for The Cat Bibles — I may have to give my sister and niece their Xmas gifts early!!
Also I ordered two cases of Weruva cat food using the catchat coupon code… thanks for the 20% discount. My three kitties are transitioning over to all raw plus canned food from an all-dry diet. I can already see a difference in their coats.
I have attached the email response I received from Weruva Cat food folks. I noticed the BFF label and Weruva both had the same address and inquired as to the difference between the two brands. Thought you may want to see their response below. Just FYI in case you didn’t already know.
Thanks for all your shared wisdom. I know my Kitties and I appreciate all you do for us. Sincerely, Mimi
Here’s what David, the owner of Weruva/BFF replied to Mimi:
Thank you for the email to Weruva/BFF. Yes, we make both brands. We created BFF as an additional option for both stores that carry our products as well as consumers who may be looking for something different. The BFF price at pet stores is less than Weruva as the raw materials used are different, yet the quality of BFF and the manner in which BFF is produced is no less than Weruva. We just use different raw materials that we source less expensively.
Hello Tracie!
I just adopted a 10yr old cat from the shelter 2 months ago and you helped me with some questions a few weeks back on the menadione in Weruva products that contain seafood. I had a breakthrough today w/ my cat Frank and had to share my news w/ you.
For the past two months, it has been really stressful for me in transitioning my cat to wet food. I’m pretty certain he’s lived the first 10 years of his life on kitty crack. I haven’t taken away his kibble, as I’m trying to get him to a combination diet to meet him halfway (for now). So far, I’ve transitioned him to another kibble product that I felt was the lesser of two evils. Whenever I gave him any kind of canned food (and I tried all the quality ones like Weruva, any kind w/ gravy, canned pate, pouches, etc.), he’d only lick the gravy/liquid and peck at the meat, but it was the kibble that got him all excited at mealtimes. There were days where I was stressed about whether he’ll ever eat more than a few bites of canned food and there were several times I felt like giving in. Today after I got home from work, I noticed that the new kibble I transitioned him to were left in his dish. I gave him his wet food for dinner and lo and behold for the first time since I adopted him, I found myself staring at an empty bowl! I was ecstatic that I had some kind of breakthrough and that not all hope was lost and that I’m doing the right thing. Just wanted to share w/ you and your readers that you may feel you’re wasting time, energy and money at times when transitioning a cat to wet food, but there WILL be a breakthrough at some point, just keep at it! Sorry for the long post, but just had to share!
Emicat – I LOOOOVE you! I started to read your letter with a sinking heart – I sympathized with the frustration and cost and stress of trying to get an addict off the kitty crack and believing it wasn’t going to happen. But you hung in there – you kept trying – you kept your kitty fed but never stopped trying to rehab him off the dry food. And god bless you and him because you persevered and your dedication and patience paid off. Most of all I am so grateful that you took the time to get in touch and post this on my blog so that it can offer encouragement to others who may have faced similar frustrating challenges. I am going to read your letter on the air on CAT CHAT this week and thank you out loud – I hope you can clal in so I can do it in person. Your pussycat is one lucky boy to ahve such a gret Mom.
