Side by Side Comparison of: Purina Fancy Feast

My cat loves this better than the premium food on which I've spent a small fortune for her to try. Fancy feast wins.

I'm lucky enough to have cats who will eat almost anything that I set down for them but they really like this food best.

My cat will eat anything she can catch! Basically she is the Jeffrey Daumer of the fur world. But she will not touch most canned foods. Keeping this in the house saves the wildlife of the area from certain doom! Send me 10 more boxes! Also did some research on what to get for my baby who vomits every now and then. My cats can be sensitive and throw up a lot - Vitapet Probiotic Powder Blend For Dogs and Cats with 5 Billion CFU Per Serving helps them keep their food down and digest it better. I have been using this product for a couple of weeks and it is really great for my babies.

Cats love it. Saves my grocery shopping from loading up on heavy objects

This is our regular, every day cat food for our 8 cats. There is enough variety in the flavors to please everyone. And the price here could not be beat by any of our local stores. So I save myself time and money by having this shipped to our home monthly. I also give my catsVitapet Probiotic Powder Blend For Dogs and Cats with 5 Billion CFU Per Serving and they love it. If they're off their food, sprinkle some Vitapet Probiotic on it and stand back! Originally my vet prescribed it so I use her recommendation as a guide to value and quality of the product.It really helps my finicky, elderly cats take an interest in their food.

Please note I write this reply in lieu of Mephisto, who, despite repeated efforts, cannot type.He notes that the shredded texture is a nice break from the usual pate of other foods, and adds a variety to his diet beyond flavor alone. The amount of sauce is perfect, and when added to his dry kibble makes the food a bit easier on his teeth, a situation he assures me is quite common among senior cats and does not diminish his ferocity nor refinement.He would further like to note that he appreciates the careful consideration put into the pull-top lid, for he finds the pop-crescendo-click of it's opening to be a musically appropriate overture to the meal.

My cat is 18 years old, she's been eating this for 14 years, I spent the first years of her life trying all the cat food available, she would eat it for a while and then turn her nose up and refuse to eat it. This is the only food that she continued to eat with no problem. The reason for 4 stars is it seems to have changed lately, the consistency is more like the shredded food and not ground up like it used to be, making it difficult for an 18 yr old cat to eat. I would change it but this is the only food she will eat even with difficulty. I tried all the other Fancy Feast Medleys and Florentine is the only one she will eat The nutrition must be good, as I said, she's 18 yrs old and has been really healthy

Sometimes I get this one and other times I get the twenty-four or thirty-six size box; whichever has the lower price. My buddy only likes the pate (original) version......fish variety first, the turkey or chicken meats second

My cat (Sobe) loves this food. I only feed her 1/3 of a can each morning as I let her eat dry kibble freely throughout the day. She only weighs 9 pounds. She goes nuts in the morning and wakes me up just to get her breakfast. I would prefer to feed her something that is all natural, all meat, and doesn't have added colors but she has not been a fan of those types of food. I'll keep this on hand until I find something healthier that she will eat.

Sobe would give it five stars and I wanted to give it three so we will settle with four.

Hi, I'm Milla, one of the family's cats. I've taken over the keyboard so you get this from my view. I think I meet the eligibility guidelines Amazon has because I'm almost six, which is about forty in your age, so I'm old enough to learn how to write. I have to admit, you need to consider what I say because I have a confession to make: I love food--all kinds--both mine and my human servants! They say I'm food-motivated, so maybe you need to take this review with a few treats!

I gave this four only because they don't have ham flavored; I love ham--every time they open the fridge I come running hoping for some. But, if I have to deign to eat mere cat food, I love these little cans.

Of course, as I said, they say I'm food-motivated. If they ask me if I want treats, I always come running to the kitchen. They made a dumb rule that I have to jump up into the "treat chair", and I always do--I just can't resist anything they give me, well--maybe not bananas.

My only whine about this is that it doesn't fill me up quite as much as those cans that have almost all meat. But, it is better than the weight-control dry food they usually make me eat for my real meal.

Now, if only they'd come out with that fourth variety--ham--now that would really be the cat's meow!

I was reluctant to buy due to the confusion in the description of the product and the higher than regular price..I like to buy CLASSIC,SEAFOOD VARIETY and after reading the reviews again and again,plus some answered questions by members..I ended getting what I asked for.They arrived in two days and well packaged..I never give a whole can to my cats ..I refrigerate,cut it up in 8 wedges and give them one in the morning and one at night,plus as a treat.It helped me to train them better since they had to turn into indoor cats after being out-indoor for three years.The level of stress was incredible and leaving them in the new house (for me)a whole nightmare...so I just offer them a little of it,on top of the dry food, and they are happy to see me going.As some people say ,yes the cats gained weight after this type of food was added to the diet.But The lifestyle change and the ingestion of fat,I believe,helps to lower the production of hairballs...I still take them out on a harness,so they can eat their grass and clean their digestive system.

I have no idea why, but 2 of my cats seem to love this line of Fancy Feast better than any of the other types of Fancy Feast. Albeit, they love licking the gravy more than eating the actual food at times. I honestly wish that my cats would eat something healthier than this brand( there are alot of by-products in the ingredients), but I have tried buying every healthy alternative out there, and the cats always end up not eating it. Also, a word of caution: this food will give some cats gas. One of my cats has horrible gas from eating this food all the time, but as I said earlier, I can't find any other food that she likes to switch her completely from this brand.

Cats like it but smells sooo stinky. I keep thinking there's something rotten around my kitchen then realize it's the stinky cat food. I'm sticking with poultry from now on. The shrimp flavored has the worst odor. P.U.!

This is pretty good cat food on a budget, actually. When my cat started having allergies I switched him off it but I think it was the litter and not this food. Still, this food is on the lower end of the food chain as far as costs so do be careful and watch your cats health.

Anyone who cooks knows that gravy is cheap and easy to make. By putting gravy in cat food it is doing nothing for your cat and saving the company money. Buy a brand/flavor that uses as much real meat products as possible. Cats didn't mind it but I can make them a batch a gravy and pour a little over a good quality canned cat food. Just doesn't make sense that this company would use such an obvious filler.

Edit- Gave it an extra star because I still use Fancy Feast but I changed to the Grilled, cats seem to love it even more and I feel like I am getting more quality product instead of filler (likely all in my head though).

I thought my cats would love this since they like the "Grilled" variety... and expected this to provide more liquid, which they seem to enjoy.

At first it seemed to be acceptable.

Then I did a side-by-side taste test within each (beef to beef, chicken to chicken, etc) flavor variety... and the grilled version was preferred by my finicky geriatric cat... who sets the rules.

Lately he seems to like the heavier pate consistency... so I have started buying the 'classic' in chicken and (ugh) liver... apparently smelly liver increases appetite... see cans of a/d. Anything to get him to eat... I will buy. Even if its this mid quality brand of Fancy Feast.

While my cat eats it, he's gotten progressively less happy about it over time, and this last order I think I got a bad batch. I haven't seen anything about recalls but twice in a row now after eating a can of this he's gotten very sick to his stomach. Beware if your cat is older or has any kind of sensitive digestive issues.

Fancy feast is only good if you want a "gordy" feline. I would steer clear of this product as it seems to have some sort of additive in it that makes you cat want to eat all day long. I fed my feline 4 cans in one day, and he was still hungry. I suppose if you have a sick cat that won't eat, for some reason, it works to get an appetite going. But, it is way overpriced for the amount you get.

To say my 17 year old finicky cat hated this new type of food would be an understatement. Jack aka Booty only eats food with the consistency of Pate. When the vet put him on a "fancy" prescription diet for his kidneys he went on a hunger strike until I struck gold with fancy feast Poultry and Beef Classic. This was his diet until I tried to get adventurous with Grave Lovers.

Mr. Jack turned his nose up to each and every flavor preferring to go hungry rather than trying even a morsel of Poultry and Beef Lovers Gravy feast.. No worries, I gave 93 cans to friends with cats who are younger and more open minded.

When I first bought these, my Schitzel loved them. So I bought another 12 pack. Now he turns up his nose. I'll put the food in his dish and now just won't eat it. Is there something that he knows now that I don't? I didn't just feed him this. I vary flavors and brands. The others he still eats. Now I have an unopened 12 pack.

Got this for my kitty right after adopting her from a shelter. Well, she would only eat the gravy... Which is fine, as we are also feeding her a blue buffalo high protein dry food. But I doubt she'd get all the nutrients she needs from just the gravy.
All that being said - she loved the gravy.

I've ordered this brand before with no problems. Obviously, it's not the best and healthiest food, but cats seem to like it. This box, though, made me never want to buy it again. If you know how the box is set up, there's usually 8 cans of one flavor at the bottom, 8 of another flavor above that, and then the last flavor on top. I go through the cans from the top to bottom. My cat got through the poultry cans just fine. But when we made it to the beef flavor, things started spiraling. Suddenly she was puking. I almost had to bring her to the vet because she would cry so much before puking and it broke my heart. Then I realized the puking started as soon as I opened the first can of the beef flavor. These flavors never upset her stomach in the past. In fact, I thought it might be wet food in general, but I found a chicken gravy lover can, and she ate it up and keep it down just fine. And I've bought this brand many times in the past. Purina needs to check on this possible recall because it could very well be poisoned. I'm just glad I caught it in a quick manner. These cans were dated March 2019. Has anyone else experienced this before?

On the site it states manufactured in St Louis but when my son received the product, it states made in China. This is misrepresenting. I feel I should be compensated.
Thank you,

Normally, everything is good. I order this once a month for my cats, however, this time, I am questioning whether or not I will ever order again. At first we noticed a fishy odor before we even opened the box. We emptied our trash cans and searched all over our kitchen for the source of the smell before arriving that it was coming from the amazon box. We opened the amazon box and quickly found the source, the fancy feast box. It was slightly dented. We were appalled to open it to discover the cans damaged and with maggots in it! I am so disgusted and disappointed in amazon for selling me this product! This is unacceptable.

Makes my cats breath very stinky. As soon as we switched back to more expensive food from Petco, his breath is good and the fur doesnt smell as he is not cleaning himself with that odor anymore. Besides, I should have checked for Nitrates and this food is full of them.

Been getting this product for awhile. Cans was messed up cans was all bent up
