Single-Serve Cat Meals

The Wellness CORE Tiny Tasters Promote Freshness and Prevent Leftovers

Food waste is a top-of-mind issue for many consumers, resulting in many people opting to purchase fresh food in smaller quantities and enjoy smaller portions—and Wellness Natural Pet Food's Wellness CORE Tiny Tasters offer a solution for pet parents.

The results of an independent survey of cat parents in the United States revealed that 50% of cat owners don't serve an entire can of cat food in a single feeding but prefer to save a portion in the refrigerator for a separate meal. The Wellness CORE Tiny Tasters help to address this by providing single-serve pouches with two-ounce portions that won't leave leftovers.

The Tiny Tasters are offered in the form of grain-free, protein-rich pâté products that come in pleasing flavors like Chicken, Duck, Tuna, Chicken & Beef, Chicken & Turkey and Tuna & Salmon.
