Side by Side Comparison of: Purina Friskies vs Meow Mix

My cats like these.Much cheaper for me to buy from Amazon than my local store. It's about 2 Xs the price from where I'm from.Cats do not shed with this brand's canned cat food.Great taste (according to my cats. They don't talk to me, it's just that I notice that they quickly gobble up their food. Maybe I'm not feeding them enough?)I mix one can with any dry cat food from this brand.

Great Price and it arrived on time and at my door step. So much easier than lugging cases of cat food from the shelf to the cart, to the conveyer belt, back into the cart, into my trunk, and finally into my basement. Saves me so much time and work with 8 cats.

My experience with two vets was that I DID NOT learn from them the connection between carbs in cat food, and diabetes. So when diabetes was diagnosed in my two oldest cats, they were each on three units each, twice a day. We added this probiotic to help with digestion Vitapet Probiotic Powder Blend For Dogs and Cats with 5 Billion CFU Per Serving. I continue to monitor every couple of weeks, but really don't need to, they have had normal poop and are healthy. Thanks Vitapet!

My cat likes the pate texture/style style best of all the Friskies' canned food, but most grocer's only carry one flavour. I like to think he would prefer a variety, so this multipack is great.Additional bonus: Not only do I not have to deal with unloading and stacking individual cans (as you do if bought from the grocer's), they are delivered right to me and I don't have to carry them around the store, from the store, to the trunk, up to the house, etc.

Years ago I bought cases of the 15oz cans every week for the six cats in the house at the time (my cats, the cats belong to kids at home, and those at college or deployed with the military) every week. Then I switched to much more expensive grain-free products. Over the last six months or so, my guys began refusing the $4 a can stuff until they reached the point they won't touch it, though they did a lot of meowing at breakfast time. In desperation I ordered Friskies (no reasonable places to shop in the area of my current base of operations where I am down to FOUR cat). The guys love it. Go figure. Will be reordering shortly.

we love our pate's, they eat it all up, it provides the moisture they really need, the better brands that are grain free, or more nutritious if they don't get eaten, it doesn't help and cats need the moisture, dry food is not enough, older cats suffer kidney failure due to lack of moisture and good nutrition. I feed a high quality dry food grain free, and mix my Friskies with a higher quality can, we mix it up a bit. they love their Friskies.

Dixie the cat loves her meow mix. I have had other makes but definitely the meow mix is her favorite. She is quite elderly, aged fifteen years so I wanted her to have something nice in her declining years. The meow mix seems to be the right choice.

I get this cat food for the neighborhood kitties that visit now and then outside.They seem to like it and are no longer a little too skinny.My indoor cat would like it too but she get's pampered with expensive stuff.

This is much, much cheaper than any pet store I have went to. This bag is HUGE. Look at the weight before you buy because I couldn't lift it without my boyfriend. Anyway, if this info helped anyone out at all, let me know by leaving me a thumbs up if you want :)

This is a good product. It arrived on time and in good condition with no evidence of being tampered with. My cats love this dry food! I will definitely purchase this product again on Amazon if the price is right and if it's prime.

I started ordering my cats food from here for convenience. I have been ordering my dog food for about 3 years because I can't find the brand she eats locally. She has a lot of stomach problems with most dog food. I decided to just add my cat food to my existing order because it's difficult for me to lift the large bags at the grocery store and I didn't like having to buy so many of the small bags. So much easier and cheaper to have it all delivered right to my door. I've found a great probiotic to treat her stomach issues. We purchased Vitapet Probiotic Powder Blend For Dogs and Cats with 5 Billion CFU Per Serving which we add to her meow mix. She loves it and has not had any digestion issues since she started using this. I would recommend this product to others.

I know it's not great quality food, but that cats DO love it. We feed 2 ferals 1 cup a day. They are basically our cats, except they hate us and only come by for food. So, basically, just like regular cats. This is probably the best value going for cat food, in general, and is perfect for putting outside. Occasionally a trash panda or a possum will stop by, but the food is usually gone early. I usually buy a better food for my indoor pet cat, but if I run it, he loves this stuff, too. Amazon prime = fast and cheap this food.

My cats love this food over the more expensive cat foods. The cost was slightly better than the good ol local WM or WC. I was going to do a subscribe option for this, but the price jump of over 6 dollars shot that idea down. I'm going to be looking for cases of single flavor here on Amazon.

My cat likes these. She does like other brands better though. I know cats are just like humans and every one has their own preferences. My cat doesn't like the bits as much as the shreds and she likes any brand that uses a lot of gravy. These are so-so. They dry out if she doesn't eat all of it in the morning. Once it's dry she won't touch it.

My cats favorite canned food. I do not know healthy this is, but it is the only canned food my picky eatters will touch. I have a fifteen year old cat that has been eating this for years so it must not be too bad. She is still as healthy as could be.

My cat likes Friskies, but his digestion has a problem with it. I have no idea how this stuff tastes ( I am not that poor... yet ), but he chows down when I put some out. The problem is that even with a good dry and wet food mix, there is usually a cleaning up problem if you get my drift. so best to choose on the basis of your cats digestion, like anything cat related( especially since I am the cats sole staff person... as they say; dogs have owners ).

I get a 52% better price for the same cat food I would have had to buy in the grocery store, and it's delivered to the Post Office for picking up. I gave 5 stars for the price and took one star away for choosing Fedex for the delivery. Fedex delivered to my door the first time and after that delivered to my Post Office. If you've ever lugged home 5 pallets of canned cat food home you know why I've taken one star away. Felt like a ton instead of 45 lbs. Maybe it's just my age group.

I find this to be a nice middle of the road food for my cats. Reasonable pricing. Lots of flavors and styles.My cats have all day access to dry food. Wet food is a once a day feeding.I use one, easy to open can, for all of them. I empty the food into a cup and add 3 cans of water to it. After mixing it up a bit, I pour the contents into a few different bowls. Something for everyone that way.Some cats seem content to just lap at the water mix. (Another way to get water into these creatures) Some look only for the clumps of food. Another one uses his paw to reach in and grab a clump and eat it off his paw.Rarely is there any left.I have tried more expensive can foods and saw no change in their reaction. If I was only feeding wet food I would probably ind a better quality one. As I do a mix, I am comfortable that they are getting the nourishment they need.The less expensive canned food was always greasy feeling. I will stay with Friskies.

My cat seems to really enjoy the food. The food is not overly smelly like some cat food. I wish the bag was a little more sturdy. When my back was turned my cat opened the bag with his teeth. This has never happened to me before.

We have a primarily outdoor cat. She mostly hunts her own food but we do provide a supplement to her diet on rainy days. Some days she doesn't feel like moving. All she wants to do is sleep. Is this normal? She sleeps about 18 hours a day I think. Anyway, she likes this well enough. She doesn't seem to have a favorite cat food yet. We switch it up for her, but she prefers the ones that are seafood and fish flavored.

Received on time in good condition and as described. I am a satisfied customer.

Usually the best price I can find, and my cats prefer it to other brands I've given them (not that that means much, since animals have their own preferences).

Nutritional wise, this is not my favorite brand, but my kitties love it and I make sure they get enough nutrition from other sources. I give them the Meow Mix as a dessert after they finish they healthy food :)

this is perfect cat food u get 3 a bundle and my cat loves this alot she love eating this and it a good size it came fast in shipping im so happy i got this foot for her last for a while :)

I know this food and have used it many many times in the past. I leave 3 stars not 5 based on the cats liking. But it's consistent and they always eat it just not as desirable as say gravy pleasures. Diabetic cats so wet food is a MUST! Just can't afford expensive food so this is cheap enough and they do eventually eat it, just not as interested in it over other more expensive ones.

I came to change my review for this specific order. My kittens seen not to like it that much. I do not know why. And one more thing, one of my boys ' lower lip got swollen. I don't know what caused that either. Hopefully, it's not the wet food.

Probably a good value, but this was a tough sell to the cats. Pate, it turns out, is not their favorite texture. However they chow down, no prob, on Friskies cans of the probably meatier “shreds” and “bits.”

I HAVE A BUNCH OF THSE CANS OF CAT FOOD.....-- Friskies.......Winkie did not lick them much...so I bought case of smaller cans (cats liked this).. Purina F

Normally fluids surrounding the pate when first opened has a gelatinous texture. These seem to be more watery. possibly seconds? nutritionally most likely not much different. maybe something in the shipping changed the consistency. they eat it regardless. due to one of the flavors they will not eat i will go back to "cherry picking" at the store.

Good price only on subscribe & save. Otherwise this is within 2 cents of Wal-Mart pricing. Since you can return dented cans to Wal-Mart with no problems this is an issue when paying full price on Amazon. Otherwise on Subscribe & Save Amazon recommended highly But Amazon seems to take this off subscribe & save at times which is frustrating. Only recommended if on subscribe & save as a 5 star. Otherwise as only 3star if NOT on subscrive & save. Product itself is good & kitties enjoy. Issue here is Amazon pricing if not on subscribe & save.

Got this to hold my cat over until I could research some better food options for him. It was just okay... he gained a little bit of weight on it, so if your cat is prone to chub, opt for something else. If you have the money, I'd buy better quality food for your cat. If you don't have the money, this is a pretty classic and relatively trustworthy route to go.

Will not buy again. They obviously use food dyes because whenever my cat throws up, it stains our carpet red or yellow, which is the color of the food. But my cats do enjoy eating it so that's for the 3 stars. However will not purchase again for our little guys.

If your cat is a dry food eater this is a great bargain. However, I do not recommend it for card that are strictly wet food eaters.

My cats seem to like Friskies better!

cats thought ok, seemed to be picky with this one

My cats love this stuff, but I know I should feed them better. It comes packaged well, but only buy if you're going for quantity over quality. If you care about your cats, use this as a last resort.

This stuff STINKS (pate) and it makes their poop smell even worse. I know, just when you think cat poop could smell even worse

Half of the box arrived dented (not unuseable) but otherwise still a good value.

I generally feed my farm cats dry food from an automated dispenser, but I buy cans for when the shy strays that I took in come around will come to me for a treat of canned food, which they love. I bought 2 of these 24 packs and in one of the cases, I just discovered the last can was dented and cracked open at the top, felt empty and smelled disgusting. The outside packing is slightly dented on the 12-pack half box (but on the opposite side). There is no obvious signs of huge leakage in the cardboard packaging, so I don't know if it happened in the factory or during shipment. I threw away the bad can and hope that the other case is OK, as it is still completely sealed since I only use them occasionally. The cats love them, but I am leery of getting damaged/leaky/spoiled cat food on future shipments if I order this again.

My cat Sophie refuses to touch the cheese and turkey combination. She only tolerates the beef and chicken shreds. Maybe your cat has a different palate but i'll have to pass on this one in the future

Wish I had not bought so much. It is a pate (mash) that does not inspire my mutt-cats. They prefer kibble. However, my dog enjoys robbing this from the cats and scarfs it right down.

The pate was not as big of a hit with my maine coon as the shreds are. I purchased this when there were no discounted shreds. On the plus side it took my cat twice as long to go through the package because he wasn't eating as much of it as he does other wet foods. The product turns odd colors after a day in the fridge with a lid on and sometimes smells bad. The aroma is definitely noticeable from across the room and sometimes persists for hours.

The cat food speaks for itself. The delivery has something to be desired. The bag was torn and food was everywhere.

Probably the worst cat food, but it's cheap and what my fat cat will eat. Junk food for cats.

My cat was actual allergic to Meow Mix. He threw the food back up sometimes. I would not purchase this again. I bought Iams instead and he hasn't threw up at all.

I'mo only giving this 2stars because it's not what I ordered. I wanted a smaller bag because of the weight and storage problem. Also, he's not that crazy about it so I guess I'll be feeding strays with it.L

not liked too well by my cats

My cats did not like the taste and would not eat. Even outdoor feral cat preferred friskies over this. :(

Horrible & disgusting! Received a package and did not open this until that night to feed my kitties. Well, pulled a rotten can out that was moldy and growing fungus thru the bottom of the cardboard. Disgusting & smelled of death! My whole house stunk for a few days and amazon just refunded my $. I lost all faith in my past experience with my deliveries. I feel like they just throw my stuff around. I ordered charcoal tooth whitener and opened the package it came in and it was open and powder went everywhere!

Normally I do not give reviews but I feel that in this case it is a must. The case was enclosed in plastic and had been placed on the spare bed. when I opened it there were hundreds of little flies and larva on the bedspread and the corner of the carton was wet and there were even more inside the box. They are flying throughout the house and I have had to wash the bedspread and blankets.I will no longer buy cat food from Amazon. So beware !

This review is more on the quality of packaging. I had the terrible experience that one can was open inside the box and got to me covered in maggots!!!My cats love this food and I thought this was a convenient option but I guess it is better that I return to the stores.

I use this cat food all the time and have been ordering $17 which is ridiculous. I can get it cheaper at my local petstore,

My cats threw up when they ate this. Either because they're allergic or most likely this tastes like crack to them and they can't eat it fast enough. Def not healthy. Sorry little men...mommy ain't gonna give you mcdonalds everyday. Probs best as a treat every now and then.

I received the box yesterday and 8 of the cans had exploded. There was really no way to return the items so I threw them away. They stunk and were covered with bugs and the rest of the cans were covered with their slime. I was lucky that the rest was even usable.

My cats love this food and it was very inexpensive. I have been buying it for years, at least 3 bags a month. The price, however is no longer affordable to me. It went up by over a third since I ordered it two weeks ago. Great food, but much cheaper from the wholesale store near me now.

Cat keeps throwing up bright orange vomit. She had thrown up once (in her 3 years of life) prior to this product. Now she has thrown up 3 times since giving her this product. I've never had her throw up from any food she has eaten.

Made my cats puke :(I probably should've listened to the reviews saying how bad it is. There must be something wrong with this formulation. Cats are willing to eat it, but then they barf it up later because they don't know any better. I suspect it's like a child eating way too much candy.

I bought this because it was very cheap and didn't think my cat would care what type of food he eats. However a week after switching him to this he developed really bad skin allergies and ended up scratching his neck so much that he made himself bleed. Now he has scabs all over himself from scratching. I switched back over to a Purina Naturals brand and his itchiness has stopped. Unfortunately, it seems like either there is low quality product or additives that cats may not be able to tolerate.

Ordered kitten food but received cat food. Now I have 2 large bags of cat food.

Cats would throw up after eating this.
