Weruva Cat Food Review

About Weruva
Weruva is a family owned, natural pet food company that was founded in 2006 by David and Stacie Forman. They inspired the name “Weruva” from the names of their three rescue cats: Webster, Rudi and Vanessa.
Their mission is centered around the fact that pets are part of the family so putting their needs at the forefront translates into feeding them like we would feed ourselves. What began as just a line of cat food products has also expanded into dog food products as well.
Their headquarters are in Massachusetts, though all of their products are manufactured in human-grade facilities in Thailand. As a result, their food is made adhering to strict standards for safety and quality. Weruva is even certified by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), a certification that comes when food processing meets the strictest standards, including those of the European Union.
The 83 diverse product lineup of flavoursome and nutritional wet cat food is largely chicken or fish based, making each product rich in protein and species appropriate for your carnivorous feline. They use only locally sourced ingredients to ensure that each dish is not only safe, but also highly palatable. Weruva is known for their hydration intensive foods made with simple ingredients to cultivate a complete and balanced diet for adult pets.

Brand Recalls
Thus far, Weruva cat food has not been involved in any pet food recalls. However, their Best Feline Friend (BFF) range, an Australia exclusive product line, was recalled in 2017 due to low thiamine levels. But it’s important to note that the products affected had been manufactured in a facility that doesn’t handle other Weruva products.
