Was at my local pet store this morning and came across EVO 95% Chicken & Turkey Canned Cat Food.

Curious how it compares in calories and fat to the following:

Wellness - 220 calories, 10g protein, 10g fat
Before Grain - 157 calories, 9g protein, 6g fat
Weruva - 84 calories, 10g protein, 1.4g fat

Hmmmm, so nearly identical to Wellness?

No real difference between the two?

Well, the Evo doesn't have all the fruits and vegetable fillers that Wellness does. It's quite costly though. $1.69 for a 5.5 oz can at the feed store here.

Besides the price being rather high, neither of my cats seem to like it.

It wasn't a hit here either. I was glad, because of the price

I'm trying another now:

I just started looking into who owns/makes By Nature pet food, this is what I found so far: Muscatine Foods Corporation Forms Kent Nutrition Group, Inc. To Unite The Strengths Of Their Previously Regional Brands | BriefingRoom

Yes I have read that about chicken meal before, for dry cat food products. The canned foods, which is the only kind of cat food I feed, does not contain any "meal" of any kind.

Was just looking at the link and sounds interesting.

Don't recall seeing it at my local pet store; is it relatively new?
