Can anyone confirm that they ordered these and actually received the chicken & tuna flavored ones? My cat won't eat the unflavored ones.

I originally got the chicken and tuna flavored ones through our vet, but the price was twice as expensive as through Amazon. Then I ordered the unflavored ones through Amazon. My cat is also a picky eater, but when I mix the powder with his tuna, he just eats it up. No problems.

I got the chicken flavour (I think). Our 2 older cats quite happily eat it - we simply sprinkle the capsule contents over biscuits and they eat it up. Any that fell onto the bowl itself generally gets licked up, so I guess it tastes good.

I am assuming the flavor is as described. I mix mine in with wet food which I give them as a snack in the afternoon. No problem.

The label states only that the product contains "natural flavor" but is not specific as to what that flavor is. My senior cat will not eat it unless I mix the contents into a bit of canned cat food thinned down with water.

The ones I received don't appear to be flavored, but they are the "sprinkle" kind. I open the capsule onto their own food, whatever flavor. And they don't mind it at all.

I ordered the 4 pack, shipped from Amazon and made by Nutramax. Info on Amazon site said chicken and tuna flavored but did not find that information on received items. I mix with small amount of wet cat food.

Yes, the other side of the box says "formulated for your cat...". Please don't eat it yourself.

No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness. I swear they are all made by the same company and just resold under different packaging, so don't bother trying to get a different brand. I tried cutting them up and mixing them into wet food (to which I always add a little water anyway). My thought is that they would soften and take on the smell/taste of the wet food I know they like. It seemed to work OK (just OK), but I couldn't tell if BOTH of my cats were getting dosed and by how much. I finally just switched to a powder form that should mix evenly with a wet food, which I can better monitor.

That is kind of weird. I have seen my cardinals, wrens and chickadees eat these. It took them a couple of days to figure it out. You might try soaking them to soften them up a bit, I read that somewhere, although I see another person here says they won't eat them if they are wet. Also, I mostly feed these in the winter.

Is there ever any rhyme or reason to what cats will choose to eat? Not aware of any changes in composition of the food. Their (Newman's Own) website seems to be pretty up front about their products. You might check there to see if there have been any changes.

My cat prefers cat food. I've been using this system for years and I've never seen her even attempt to eat a pellet. Maybe it's because I don't portion control my cat's food. If you do, and your cat attempts to eat one, I would stop using it. Though, I can't see a cat preferring to eat something that they poop and pee on.

Don't know. My cat barely likes or eats treats. I got them because with the discount for subscribing to 5 items, basicaly I get them for free.

Can not respond. Read ingredients and they were bad for diabetic cat. Gave away or threw out. Sorry

No. They are not. And the feline ones are better for the reason that they have typical cat flavoring so your cat will like them better. My vet gave me the dog ones and my cat didn't like them much, but she's really happy to eat these ones.

Yes, they are the same. You can get them much cheaper at Amazon, without a prescription, but don't give the treats to your cat like candy. Also, not ALL cats like them. I have 3 cats and only 2 of them like them. If your vet hasn't already, he/she should give your cat 2-3 of the treats to see if your cat likes them, before you buy them. They work very well. Being a former Animal Health Tech, I highly recommend them.

They're pretty hard. I can break them into tiny pieces with my fingers and drop them into the food bowl. My stinky cat eats them, but another non-stinky cat won't eat them (but then, he only likes cheese for treats). So, if your cat won't eat them as treats, you might try crumbling them and putting them on his/her food.

My last order came as 'natural flavored'. I've just ordered another bottle but it won't arrive until after the first of December. It did not give me an option of flavor when I ordered and didn't realize it came flavored. I understood from the vet that it was tasteless to the cat mixed with the wet food so hopefully it will come just as natural flavored.

Yes, they are meant to be chewed. The last batch we bought did have a bit of a fishy taste to them, but it's not unbearable. We just ordered a new batch, so we'll see how they are.

I just ordered a case - same exact kind as before (which my cats loved). My older cat won't touch this new batch. - My kitten ate some of it and has had the 'runs' for two days. Does anyone know - will Amazon take the unopened cans back?

Welactin does sell an unflavored vs fish flavored. My cat prefers this but I can't seem to find it except at my local vet for twice as much. So until I can find it cheaper, I use the fish flavored & mix with some Fancy Feast with broth. She seems to like it better when the flavor is "hidden" in brothy yumminess.

Hi Rikki ~ I just stuck my hand in the bag & pulled out about 8 pieces ~ they are all small ~ some are kinda round/oval, some are kinda thick & others are somewhat thin & small, but in different shapes.. Hope my answer helps you out, at least a little bit ~ my 2 cats seem to really like the food ~ have a good one...

Sorry I don't have it I ate them all! Lol I usually have one a day for snack. They go quick so I never thought to check. They tasted fresh though.
