I was excited to see this. I know EVO already has the same ones, but it's late, I'm tired and I was excited anyway. lol[

Do they sell it at any of the pet stores like PSP or PetSmart? That is the kind of thing I buy to have on hand to put on top of Bubbys Kibble for more meat,,,when I didn't make her any home made.

I saw these at the pet store. The only catch is that they are not balanced enough to feed as meals- only good for toppers. There's no calcium in there to balance out the phosphorus of the meat, etc. Kind of like the Evangers and Wysong 100% meat forumlas.

That's so strange. It seems like it's the same as the Old Mother Hubbard "Neura" canned line with different labels. Neura has several proteins that are 95% meat also.
I've buying the Neura line for a couple of years now but it's not as widely available as the Wellness line. Hopefully they will market this more widely (or the Neura line).

Here's the Neura

I don't know about the new ones, but the Neura meats do have calcium in them, they have added calcium supplements.....the calcium and phosphorus are balanced for meals.

Vitamins A, E & D3 Supplements, Zinc Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Zinc), Iron Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Iron), Riboflavin & Niacin Supplements, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Copper Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Copper), Manganese Proteinate (Source Of Chelated Manganese), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Choline Chloride, Calcium Iodate, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Sodium Selenite, D-Biotin.

My dog loves Neura canned food. I think it is strange that Old Mother Hubbard has almost the same food in the Neura and the Wellness brand, since both are from Old Mother Hubbard. I wonder if they are just changing the labels.

Yes, the Neura does, but the new canned food says "Wellness 95% meat" right on the label and there are no supplements in it- just meat, water, natural flavors and gums:
