In our cat food reviews, you will have a better idea of what to kook for when choosing the best food for your cat; there are many different brands and formulas. However, not all brands are created equal. Some are better than others in quality, ingredients, and price. Here is a rundown of some of the best, average, and worst choices for cat food.
Chicken Soup feline food is one of the best brands out there. It comes in dry and canned food forms, and most cat owners say they like the ingredients and price. Plus, cats seem to enjoy the taste. The only downside is that it’s not always easy to find in stores.
Did you know that cats have been revered as beautiful and magical creatures? There’s all sorts of folklore surrounding them, evidence of their presence in Egyptian tombs, and even Cat Woman in movies! They make such easy pets to care for, too – they can be playful, extremely smart, and so full of love.

Here is a reminder as it is important to keep in mind that they also have sensitive tummies and are prone to terrible kitty diseases like Leukemia. It is essential to feed them food specifically designed to keep them healthy. Do you ever check the ingredients in your pet’s food? If you do not always check because not all foods are good for feeding your cat
Some cats eat whatever food is presented to them, while others turn their noses up at almost everything. This choosiness is just one of the factors you need to consider in deciding which brand of cat food to give your pet. Naturally, the primary factor is how good the ingredients are, so you’ll need to investigate. But sometimes the best cat food for your cat also depends on other things like the state of their health and teeth, or even whether they are overweight.
Before writing the cat food reviews, I researched the topic. In many cat specialists’ many books, the best food for your pussycat is foods that will not contain artificial colors—food with preservatives and sweeteners like corn syrup or sucrose (or ammoniated glycyrrhizin).
Sweeteners are generally added only to inherently unappealing food to make it more enticing to the cat. But naturally, you’ll want to think first of the ingredients. A whole meat product should be one of the first two ingredients, with meat by-products coming much lower on the list. You want your cat to eat high-quality meat. And a little bit of unprocessed grains or vegetables in the food indicates a higher nutritional content.

My cats went right to this food as if they were starving, but they weren’t. They were just excited, and ate more normally afterwards. I can tell they like it because they nuzzle my legs more than usual when I bring this bag out :)Also, their fur is now more soft, sleek and shiny after eating it for a while!
My cats love this food. Their fur is very soft and silky. My one cat has a tendency to puke from certain foods but not this brand.

i had been using another brand - no grain, high protein (40%), but ran into some issues such as reduction in size of package while keeping price high, and ordering online problems So i decided to try this brand.Larger for very competitive price.. When i put out this brand for my cats, they loved it and ate it in preference to the other. Somewhat less protein content (about 38%) and lower amount of some other key ingredients as well. i have looked at other reviews and this product seems to get good scores from Veterinarians. I would have stayed with the other product as i had been feeding my cats this for some years, but thought i would try it out. The other company lost my trust by reducing amount while increasing price.. great way to lose customers. i wouldn't have a had a problem with a small price increase, but not really reducing value by both increase in price and lowering amount. I am looking at another variety of the Purina brand as well. Some of the premium brands are a LOT of money. I like looking at comparisons of content. I think the bigger brands are seeing how important this is in selling their products.
I use this food for both my dogs and cats (obviously I buy dog food for the dogs) amd all 4 of them are happy, healthy, and have amazingly soft coats. I've compared the ingredoents to expesive vet grade food and this food is either comparable or on occasion even exceeds the quality of the vet grade food and is a fraction of the price. When you factor price vs quality, I do think this is one of the best foods out there.
I purchased this product before and had no problems. Few weeks ago i just re purchased the 7.2 kg one. As soon as i opened the bag i did not smell the usual strong smell of the dry food and the cats refused to eat it. I bought 4 packs in total and all the same problem. Cats won't eat it. That's what the cats have been eating for 5 years. I know it went stale. I just don't get how since i just purchased them and the expiry date is in 2022. Now i have 4 packs of open bags that have not been used. That's more than 100 dollars.

George LOVES his breakfast every morning consisting of his favorite food Whiskas. We always have at least six different flavors on hand and switch them around every morning. George has a ritual where he chases you into the kitchen while rubbing against your ankles as you move along. He then tries to help you get his dish, wash it and then when you finally tear open the top he jumps onto the counter pushing his way to the container for a sample. Once you are ready to move it to the floor you can't get there fast enough for George as he is dancing and pushing you along. George LOVES every flavor and especially the Cuts in Gravy". The pate meals tend to stick to his bowl and he mashes it down flat to the point that he chases his dish until you take a knife and scrape up the food into a little pile. George eats the dry food the rest of the day as he gets hungry but he LOVES his Whiskas every morning.
I typically order this product however this is the first time they came with puncture holes in them. I could smell cat food as soon as I lifted box. I will be tossing these out as I don’t know how long they have been like this.Not too happy
Arrived quick, but after a few days I noticed a smell in the pantry. Turns out all of the food packets were unsealed and leaked. Not opened but unsealed likely from shipping or i dont know what.. The stench was the worst thing i have ever smelt in my life, way worst than anything disgusting that i can compare it to. Matter of fact, bugs or maggots have somehow gotten to them and between that and the smell was absolutely disgusting!!!! Could only use 1 packet of 24. VERY DISAPPOINTED, AGGRAVATED as you can imagine. Oh, and can not return it or get a refund from this seller.

My cat had an operation and my vet switched him to urinary food. I have four cats, so when all the bother figuring out when to feed which cat which food became a nightmare, we decided to switch them all to urinary food. Unfortunately, they would not eat it. We tried all the expensive foods you find at the vet. Then I came across this one at Canadian Tire, and all my cats absolutely love it! What is great for me is that it is half the price of the vet food, and I looked at the ingredients side by side. The vet foods have wheat and this one has corn. Otherwise, both first ingredients are chicken.
My 4 , the 2 white cats have showed signs of UTI issues. So, they are all on this dry food.... I have no idea what it taste like but they eat it, no complaints,lol. A little more expensive than others but if it's helping them and they like it then I'll keep buying it. (picture of all 4 cats. However, they are not eating dry food here.)
My cat had surgery twice for crystals in his urine. The first time we put him on Science Diet Urinary tract food, but he refused to eat it and snuck our other cat's food. So the infection returned, along with another expensive surgery. Then I found the Iams Urinary Tract food and he actually likes it! He's been enjoying it ever since, and (touch wood) no more problems. And at a quarter of the price of Hill's Science Diet I feel we have been doubly blessed.

I really hope he can lose weight. And it’s so funny the cover looks actually like him.
But why does Amazon ask us about flavor? My cat doesn't speak English and I don't eat the food. Are we supposed to taste it first? Maybe I'm doing it all wrong. My cat eats it. That's all I know. She hasn't complained.
My Maine Coon is a big boy, but he looks like a very fluffy teddybear. His vet wants his 20 lbs down to about 17 lbs, but so far nothing has worked. His policy seems to be "The higher the calorie count, the better the food tastes", and has refused to touch all other low-calorie products, wet or dry. The other day I was looking at a reduce-your-cat website and this was recommended as the best dry food for the purpose. I ordered a small bag, and it arrived yesterday. To my amazement, my chubby boy dived right in, and now refuses all the other brands he used to insist on. Too soon to tell if it will actually take any weight off him, but fingers crossed that I've found a winner!

For a few years we fed my Cat FF and no issues, Bought a few 12 packs off Amazon for the first time..A few days after my cat started eating the Amazon FF. he started to eat less and throw up every day he was getting worse and worse! He would hiss and meow then throw up. Wasn't sure what was going on, so I googled the other day about FF issues! And to my surprise there were a lot of complaints about cats getting sick off FF in the last few years. So I put the FF away and went to his Whiskas dry cat food. This was on Feb 10/20. He was getting a lot better . So I needed to narrow down the issue what was making him sick. So today Feb 13/20 We opened up a can of FF. He licked the juices and walked away,thought nothing of it. 30 mins later i hear my cat hissing and gagging, he threw up everywhere and now I got to go through him being very sick again. Purina if your reading this?! You have a bad batch out there making peoples pets very sick!
💯Fantastic high protein wet cat food. The 3oz cans are easier to divide up among my gang. Since changing my gang over to wet food from free feeding them dry 24/7, one of my chubby girls has dropped 2 whole lbs!!🙆🏻 That's alot for her. I've got zero complaints with Fancy Feast. Expiry dates are always excellent. Prices are competitive. Quality of food is supreme. I order 5 cases monthly, and will continue to do so.👌🏼
I regret the day I bought my kitty fancy feast. On top of their not so great ingredients, your kitten/cat WILL get addicted and/or feel ill. My kitty used to eat different types of food, now he wont eat ANYTHING but fancy feast. No dry food, no other canned food. If you don't believe me search up my kitten/cat is addicted to fancy feast, or my kitten/cat will starve unless I give fancy feast. I was shocked to see how many people had this problem with this brand. Its scary, keep ur pets away from this crack.

UPDATE: The Amazon website lists 'poultry by-product meal' as the second ingredient whereas the actual product bag lists 'chicken meal' as the second ingredient, which is better than by-product meal. They should update the website description to make it accurate and less confusing and suspicious.How can it state on the front of the bag that this product contains "no poultry by-product meal" and then list "poultry by-product meal" as the second ingredient on the ingredient list?!?!
It's good. Cat likes it's and doesn't get fatter. However, those whom are stoned and purchasing this bag and wondering how much it is. It's a massive bag. It will take my one cat maybe 3/4 of the year to eat this. Likely longer. I have to store it in another closet and pour a normal size bags worth into a Tupperware container. But she's happy.
I switched from an expensive health brand to this because their old food wasn’t available during the pandemic. This looked healthy enough, and the price was right.My two cats LOVE this food, they devour it. But I’m doubtful of how healthy this food actually is for 2 reasons:1. They are constantly hungry. They start begging about an after I’ve fed them, even though they’re receiving the same portion sizes as before. I tried feeding them smaller portions more frequently throughout the day but that didn’t work either. My cats act like they are starving all the time. This food does not keep them full/satisfied. Today I gave up and started feeding more. Likely will be detrimental to their weight but I can’t stand their frantic begging and hunger stress.2. Dehydration. My cats drink at least 3x more water with this food. Which I doubt is a good thing.I thought this big huge bag would be great value, but when you have to feed them twice as much to keep them going, the healthier food at twice the cost doesn’t seem as bad.

Huge bag for an amazing price. I have tried my cat on many types of food suggested by my vet, but even with those she constantly had indigestion (Stomach gargling, occasional vomiting after meals, runny bowels) I bought this bag when I was bad off financially because it costed like $50 less than a similar sized bag of her typical food and low on food for her just so I could have her fed until the next time I got paid (which was a month later as I was waiting for aproval of disability assistance). Since I have switched her to this brand of cat food, not once has she had issues with digestion! Her stomach doesn't even make noises now (which used to happen many times a day).
I decided I would ask the cats how they felt about this product and first, they were thrilled that you were interested in their opinion and second, they asked me to tell you they give it four paws up!!!! Thanks!!!
Long story short, I used to buy this brand and feed my cats. Then for some reason that I didn't remember at the time of purchasing this cat food, I told myself this is really good! why not ordering it again? why I stopped buying this brand? and at the end I bought it. Ever since my cats are on this food their poop is bigger (at least double the size of before this food) and they pee lots (because they drink lots). I have two male cats, and both of them are behaving the exact same way. They like the food, so I am not complaining about the taste of it. But now I remember why I stopped buying this long time ago. I have to clean the litter box everyday. With my previous brand, I cleaned it every other day or so.Now the question is, am I going to buy again this brand? the answer is NO! I would prefer to pay a bit more, buy get something that their poop is not almost like a human size poop.

Both cats like this. It took 24 hours for them to adjust from something else they were eating before, didn't want to go near it for about 36 hours. Extremely overpriced on Amazon. Sells for 1.08 to 1.28 per can at Walmart. $15 for a case.
So disappointed! My cats love the Turkey, Sweet Potato and Spinach Beyond. No sooner had I discovered this food that Purina changed the recipe, adding the artificial and controversial form of Vitamin K (K3) Menadione. The ingredients listed in the description on Amazon reflect the OLD recipe, not the new one introduced in February of 2018. The Beyond line is a natural line, so it is very disheartening that Purina has added this potentially toxic form of Vitamin K to its formula. It has been banned in human food, and the long-term ingestion of it, even in minute quantities, is unknown. Further, from what I have researched it is not even necessary to include, Vitamin K being required in foods that contain more than 25% fish. Other companies are taking it out (like other questionable ingredients like carrageenan).

I have five cats and they love this product.
ずっとうちの猫が食べているフードです。すぐに届いたので助かりました。
We are really happy with this food. We had our cats eating cheap Friskies, and they were constantly puking all over the house. I started reading reviews on other cat foods that might not break the bank, and I kept seeing others with cats whose hacking or pooping habits changed for the better on this food. Now we've switched over completely to Iams Proactive Health, and I can absolutely say with zero doubt that the cats have pretty much completely stopped puking much to the excitement of both myself and my husband (the latter of whom always got "clean-up" duty, so he may be a bit invested in the outcome). This may be TMI, but their bowel movements are also significantly smaller and less... shall we say... offensive. Happy with this food, seems a fair deal for the cost.

De la bonne bouffe, au prix de voleur qui te vendent le boeuf haché, tu réduis ça en poudre pis tu mélange ça à de l'eau et tu peux te mouler un genre de pain de viande de survie avec, t'ajoutes une petite sauce brune sinon aux tomates et l'épouse et les beaux-parents ont trouvé ça délicieux !Moi je travaillais, pas eu la chance de goûter à mon chef d'oeuvre !
This is a big bag and since I only give my boys a cup a day it lasts a long time. Personally I can't speak about the taste but I can only assume since I am being watched like a hawk while I type this (kibble is due in 5 minutes) that the boys are satisfied with the flavour. Better go now before I have a revolt on my hands because kibble is late...
This is A LOT more cat food then I expected in one bag but it will last a fair amount of time before it runs out. The bag was in good condition and is actually a very strong and sturdy bag. It wasn't ripped nor was it out of date. As for the flavor,I really can't rate that but can say my cat definitely loves this stuff so I'm guessing it must be tasty. The amount I paid and what I received was definitely well worth it and I would certainly buy it again if it were to go one sale. I highly recommend this cat food

DO NOT BUY THIS FOOD. My cat got very sick, lethargic, peeing on the floor, acting very off. Spend hundreds on vet. Randomly come across consumer affairs website and see hundreds of people complaining they have had cats die and become very sick because of certain batch numbers of this food. Amazon is selling these batch numbers. PURINA KNOWS AND WON'T RECALL. There's also a Facebook group "Do You Have Purina Friskies Cat Food Complaints" with 1500 people in it. Please be careful. Bad batches are 1157, 1159,1161.

This is Sandra's cat Sookie. I have to write the review, because they ask me to rate things such as 'Flavour' and 'Thickness'. Well, I am a cat, so the only thing I choose to share with my human is my excess fur, the contents of my litter box and on occasion, the feel of my butt on her computer keyboard and mouse.Overall, I give it 5 stars. It is, after all, cat food. It's pate, and my sister Jack-Jack and I never leave any behind, and we get one of these alongside our dry food every morning. That's why she has to have it delivered by Amazon. We have her trained.It also works out to be slightly cheaper than buying it at the grocery store. It'd be nice if it was even a bit cheaper than it is, however...Times are tough during this COVID-19 crap. Did you know the humans aren't even supposed to leave the house outside of necessities? We get almost no down time, with her stuck around all the time.I'm going to go pee in her shoe.Have a pleasant day,Sookie.
