Slide N' Serve Paté Wet Cat Food, The Showcase Chowdown Slide N' Serve™, 2.8Oz Pouch (Pack Of 16)

Variety is good its just that some flavors have too much xanthan gum so when i put it out from chiller its too gummy

I bought these for my senior cat who lately has turned her nose up to even her favorite flavors and brands of cat food. I was so worried that I took her to the vet and spent $300 on blood tests, only to come to the conclusion that she just needed a diet change and some time away from the two new kitties we recently got about 3 months apart from each other. That and they gave me meds for her anxiety and possible tooth pain. I bought this brand before for one of my recently adopted kitties and decided to give it a whirl with my senior girly since I know the quality is top notch and I don’t have to worry about any gross additives. She ate all 3 flavors of the pate which I ordered 24 of each, blindly (not even knowing if she’d even like or eat it). So with that being said I went to see what other flavors we could possibly try and noticed that the pate flavors are pretty limited. Then I saw these pouches.. I figured with so many flavors even if she didn’t like some I could give it to the other two scavengers that eat anything. I started with flavors I thought she wouldn’t eat just to test it out and to my surprise she ate them with absolute pleasure! Another pleasant surprise, at least in 2 out of 3 flavors tried so far, is the texture. One thing I’m not crazy about in the pate cans is that they’re kind of jelly in consistency. My cat still eats it but it makes it harder for her to eat since she mostly just licks the food and doesn’t really take bites. The lamb and mackerel flavor had the perfect consistency, it’s like a creamy pate versus a jelly one. I did come across one that still had the jelly consistency so far but I’m hoping it’s just that one. I’ll have to update the review once we finish trying all the flavors. But really, I can only say good things about this brand of cat food. It has been a win win all across the board. I’m not worried about her not liking some flavors because again, I have two scavengers who will slurp up anything she leaves behind. The scavengers being the two kittens (one is 3 mths and other 7-8 mths old). I wish the company allowed us to purchase the pouches we specifically wanted instead of having to buy the whole array of flavors the box comes with but this’ll do for now. Hope they read these reviews for future planning. Also, maybe make them a smidge cheaper if possible. Nonetheless, a great brand that I will keep coming back to. Ok update: All flavors are a win! She ate every single one. Some she favors over others but she’ll eat any I put out for her. Even the one with beef in it which is a flavor she normally hates. Also, I’m a dumb dumb and they do sell the pouches separately if you want specific flavors, not only that but in two sizes and they’re cheaper to buy than the variety multipacks. Another thing I want to point out, which took me till a few days ago to realize, is that with the flavors that come out “jelly-like” all you have to do is smush it around with a spoon or any utensil and the consistency becomes more like a regular pâté. A lot of the pouches do have that creamy consistency but some have that other type that you need to smush around a little. Lastly, I just want to say that I love this brand of cat food! We’ve tried so many, from regular known brands like Purina and Fancy Feast to other grain-free brands like Instict and everything in between. This brand is definitely number 1 so far in quality, consistency, price, ingredients and edibility.

My cat is always excited when I bring this out. Sometimes can be hard to get everything out of the pouch so I just add pour what I can, add water to the pouch, shake it all up to get the remaining bits, and put that in her bowl.

Healthy good ingredients

A good choice, my credential is my high maintenance(in health and personality) cat boobert. Before I say anything else ignore people talking about the texture being jello and whatever, I literally spend 30seconds smushing it around in the packet before I put it in a dish. Also the box always comes destroyed I literally don’t care lol. He has between 8-10, has dental disease and kd, hates renal diet food and basically everything else that isn’t a nice smooth texture he can lick. I have had him for four years and I still have to mush and spread his food around his plate for him to eat it. If it sits too long, he won’t eat it. Chunks? Repulsive. He literally sticks his nose up. A flavor he doesn’t like??? Literally gags and walks away. All of this to say, he eats every single flavor. Even the tuna, which he notoriously hates. The ingredients are amazing, good moisture content, the phosphorous levels aren’t Too high. Good choice for picky cats, cats who can’t chew dry food, cats who don’t drink enough water, etc.

5 stars. Finally a food that my two cats can agree on
