Fancy Feast Cat Food Review

Did anything in this Fancy Feast review surprise you? Let us know in the comments!

[@utubeaccess7]

It is so refreshing to see a review of commonly available pet foods that isn't artificially biased against 'BIG PET FOOD'. Thank you for delivering the facts.

[@AliceAprilMusic]

Yes, I thought I was making a good choice, but now I’m gonna look into different brands. Watched some reviews and plan on looking into what my cat would enjoy. She throws up dry chicken Fancy Feast quite some. And she doesn’t like pate, loves flaked chicken recipes I also buy salmon... My previous cats ate a lot of human food. Last cat had diabetes and it broke my heart when the doctor said we had to put him to sleep, so I stopped feeding my cats human food. None of my family members ever researched cat food and even gave cats milk as a treat :( I am definitely very grateful for your channel and experience with expertise!

[@drdebbie03]

I thought their grain free was supposed to be good. And yes, I was surprised by your review. I know it's expensive, my 3 indoor cats eat only dry food. But I had been feeding it to 2 feral cats I care for.

I'm surprised that you didn't review the gravy meals. They contains wheat gluten.

[@martink5340]

I had a cat who lived for 20 years. He was very active up until the last few weeks of his life. I picked him up at a shelter when he was a kitten. After trying a few products recommended by a vet, I bought some Fancy Feast tins. My cat loved them. It got to the point where he could recognize the sound of the Fancy Feast tins being opened and not other tins like the small tins of tuna. Every year the vet said the same thing. Cat's healthy and his weight is good so keep feeding him that good vet food. I never told him that I fed him Fancy Feast. And my cat didn't rat me out, either. His favourite was the one with ocean fish. Second was the salmon pate. But he would eat any of them without having digestive issues.

[@midlife_minimalist]

My vet said Fancy Feast is a actually a really good choice. My cats were on it from the rescue and there was no going back. I would prefer they leave out the artificial colorants in some flavors and any artificial flavor. And animal by products aren’t bad. Animals eat everything in the wild except maybe the bones. Humans are the ones that have an issue with them. Organs have tremendous nutritional value.

[@colleent3631]

I have tried so many wet cat foods, because my cat would only eat dry, I gave her fancy feast and boom, she will eat it🤷

[@dystoniaify]

I'm in poverty. While I wish I could afford higher quality meats ,it's better I feel feed this than just dry food. My cat loves the gravy lovers. I'll occasionally buy some higher end foods, but with inflation, I can barely afford to feed myself organic, quality foods. I appreciate the you don't shame people for not feeding super expensive foods, as some channels do. There's a lot of people barely getting by and doing their best. As a disabled person, in isolation, in a low income apartment, my cat is my only reason to live. I shouldn't be shamed for no longer being able to afford raw

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

You're doing really well, it seems. Wishing you and your cat all the best.

[@benamisai-kham5892]

This! I've been on poverty my whole life and taken care of cats on pretty cheap foods we just rotate them and my parents use any food bank meats they don't want to eat or can't use in time to feed the cats fish, lamb, chicken, ham etc. With their rotating foods, and it's never been something I thought a lot about because we couldn't afford to go to the vet and usually adopted our indoor cats already with shots and spayed/neutered (or took them ourselves and the neuter clinic would give them shots as an add on) And I always feel like crap when a channel shames me for not being able to afford the science diet stuff that's up to 60$-85$ for a big bag when it comes to dry! I try to buy the fancy feast combo packs at least because I don't like to give my cat a lot of dry food myself (I always mix it with some water anyways)

[@thomaschacko6320]

Don’t feel ashamed of anything. As you all face your daily struggles, take comfort in the presence of your noble companions. I know they are comforted by you! Treasure the blessing of a cat, every minute of every day. However daunting your physical problems, may you always be sustained spiritually. God bless!

[@junechamberlin5184]

Fancy Feast wet food came out a lot better than I expected. I’m very happy about that, since I feed it to my 7 cats. No more guilt because I don’t spend a fortune on wet cat food. I’ll skip the dry food, tho. I’m glad I subscribed your channel!

My kitty is very picky and only likes salmon and shimp pate from Fancy feast. She doesn't like the chicken, turkey or beef. She does not like flaky or gravy wet foods. I tried to get her to eat mom and me cat foods, or the natural brans I just ended up wasting my money. She just looks at me like mom why you know this does not work for me.

Fancy Feast helped get our boy into diabetic remission. He’s now diet controlled with Fancy Feast Classic pates. I know some people dislike the cheaper store brands due to by products and what not. I believe even Dr. Lisa Pearson argues that by products have gotten a worse reputation than it deserves. While we don’t know the quality, by products typically are parts of an animal that humans wouldn’t eat but a obligate carnivore would.

My cat swore on their ocean whitefish & tuna, eating it almost every day for almost 16 1/2 years. Obviously he liked it. Also, he was healthy right to the end. Take care.

[@liveyouryoga]

My cat is the opposite! Anything but the fish. I only feed her FF canned food. I wouldn't touch the dry with a 10 foot poll, and the review on here confirms it. Interesting, the small amount of kibble she eats is Open Farm Pet wild caught salmon, ethically sourced. I have to wonder how true it is for cats to develop dental issues when they get cut off from dry. I am talking about cats who were pretty much used to it their entire lives.

[@sirdarklust]

I’m trying to transition my cats on to wet food & Fancy Feast is the only brand thus far that they absolutely love. I really wanted them to like some healthier options but they weren’t crazy for it. So they are currently eating the gourmet naturals line from fancy feast.

[@snowchips9596]

Im really interested in the fancy feast naturals since the price doesn't seem so bad for the quality.. would you recommend them?

[@VARY78]

@@snowchips9596 I would recommend a brand that can actually identify what meat is in the food and something without dyes (there's absolutely no reason for them). Brands like these cause allergies and cancer. If you're on a budget there's great affordable brands out there like Taste of the Wild (99 cent cans), Weruva, or FirstMate. You can even do Wellness, I personally don't like them much but they are acceptable.

[@llednaselyod8048]

My cat is almost 20 he can't chew kibble anymore, and he has digestion issues, I can only give him one little teaspoon of fancy feast every 20 minutes to an hour apart till he gets through at least a 3 ounce and 1/2 can a day, or he will throw it up, he won't even eat the half rice and chicken breast I prepare for him even though I cook the rice in chicken stock, but he absolutely loves fancy feast, and tuna juce on the side, it may not be ideal, but he's living a long happy life, he loves us and can't bear to be separated from us for long, he's a clingy affectionate boy.

[@1destinySS]

I never would have ever considered this brand but I had to take over care of my Dad's senior cat when he went into memory care. I basically had to bring her back from the brink of death and diabetes. I couldn't afford the Vet wet food and tried so many types at Petsmart and my vet told me to try the kitten version seafood pates along with a bit of dry of Taste of the Wild. Her glucose levels went down enough to discontinue shots and her muscle atrophy disappeared.

[@tonyprice2256]

Our two older girls enjoy Taste of the Wild, and one of them also feeds on local wildlife - mice, rats, squirrels, rabbits, birds, frogs etc.

[@bettyboop1524]

My cats have been eating FF for a few years now. I used to purchase Wellness until the cost, for me, was too much. They don't like the medley at all won't go near any of that. They love,love the Chunky Chicken, it's a favorite. One cat is an outdoor friendly feral and a senior indoor cat both will eat FF with no issues. Senior cats usually have plenty of issues but eating FF isn't one of them. I've tried the toppers and they wouldn't touch that either. I've donated a lot of food to the local shelter over the years. Sometimes it comes down to what is affordable and FF fills that bill in my household for the kitties.

[@liveyouryoga]

Vita was eating the more expensive brands of canned cat food, but the results were so variable in terms of quantity she was eating per day, that it wasn’t really benefiting her health. She developed struvite crystals recently because she was also still on kibble (although a small amount). I ended up giving away the remainder of my expensive cans to another pet parent whose bengal kitty really appreciated it. I went out to purchase a variety of Fancy Feast, including pates, that did not include fish as a main ingredient (she doesn’t like fish in wet food). These cans were about a dollar per can. I also continue to purchase Churu tubes for an extra .5 ounce of hydration per tube. I also started to weigh the cat food using a digital kitchen scale before and after she consumed it. She must consume at least 4.5 ounces of wet food per day before she can have even a little bit of dry food (barely grazing the bottom of her kitten sized bowl.). This means that I often give her at least 2 cans of FF, 2 Churu tubes per day because she doesn’t usually eat the entire contents of the can. I also have, as another backup, Whiskas kitten replacement milk. Well, no more blood, no more cat accidents. Her clumps are totally normal, for the fourth day in a row. She seems more energetic, although that is hard to measure.

[@liveyouryoga]

It seems like she has gone from a low to medium maintenance cat. I am constantly worrying about her hydration levels and I feel anxious going away at Christmas 🎄for 5 days to Montreal to visit family. My options for reliable pet sitters aren't very good.

[@RosaParksShoe]

For the most part I feed my cats fancy feast and Sheba. From all about cats they seem the best quality for a reasonable price. You can usually get 24 cans pack for about $10-11

[@settheworldonfire94]

One of my cats LOVES Sheba. She refuses almost anything else, but she will eat some of Fancy Feast’s lines, like the broths. My other cat only eats Simply Nourish wet food. My girls are picky.

[@abbiejoliec3133]

Both of my cats came to me from Rescues. I tried switching them to Weruva or Tiki Cat but we compromised with Fancy Feast Medleys Shredded Chicken, Turkey and Tuna, also Trout. I’m allowed to add a can of Weruva or Tiki Cat three times a week as a topper over the same meat in two cans of Fancy Feast. They don’t want pate!

[@MikaGinelle]

I was hoping for a breakdown of the fancy feast broths. For a while I had to give them to my cat for extra water. I would put extra water in the packet and mix it together and he would get a lot of hydration that way.

My 4 cats have been eating Fancy Feast wet food for their whole lives and they seem to be thriving, including my one cat who seems to have an issue with chicken based foods (he gets terrible diarrhea. He gets the turkey varieties that FF has). I feed the Purina True Instinct grain free dry food free choice and canned several times a day. Having one very picky cat and 3 not very picky ones, I find that FF is cheap and good enough for everyone. I am a licensed vet tech, and believe that cats should be fed a primarily wet food diet and I've never had an issue with FF ever, including w clients at the Animal Hospital. I find that most cats like at least a few of the flavors and will readily eat it. I can't really recommend the dry food, but for a decent, cheaper spectrum cat food, you can't really go too wrong with FF.

[@VARY78]

I'm aware vets don't know too much about nutrition but you should use common sense here. As a pet nutritionist, I've never seen a pet "thrive" on Fancy Feast. It's cheap quality and they can't even name what animal source the meat is because it's poor quality cuts thrown into a blender. I've only seen cheap food like this only and frankly, anything Purina, cause allergies. Looking for cheap price food that's still decent? Look at Taste of the Wild, FirstMate and Weruva. But if you really care about your pet why are you feeding it low quality grocery store food in the first place? Would you feed your human child unidentified meats that are dyed? Didn't think so.

Brands like Purina literally been found to contain PENTOBARBITOL. Do you know what that is used for? EUTHANIZING CATS AND DOGS. They also use completely unnamed meats in their food. That is dangerous for dogs with allergies and also very suspicious considering they have no idea what the meat even is. Would you eat completely unidentified meats?

Now let's look at good brands you say are unbacked and are garbage. The ones I've mentioned in the previous comment are decent, not a big fan of TOTW but it's better than any grocery store food. Farmina, works with the oldest pet nutrition college in the world, completely vet made, not a single recall since they started in the 60's. Nulo, another started by a vet, recall free and uses extremely high quality ingredients. Instinct is a brand that works with the University of Helsinki and Dr. Anna Björkman and has a vets make all their recipes. My vet literally feeds Open Farm (another recall free btw) which is a super ethical company that you can trace your single bag of food back to it's farm it came from. You know where your brands would trace back to? The floor of a disgusting unethical factory in CHINA. You said it yourself, "do proper research." You're a nobody. Wake up, you're brainwashed.

Any advice or suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated 😁. I also tried Authority chix & pumpkin, he licked up the sauce & had a few bites. I even heat up his food😩

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

You might have more success with some of the chunkier recipes from Nulo-that's a good alternative that lines up with the price range you seem to be looking at. I'd also consider some freeze-dried foods, which will have a bit more of a luscious texture your cat might like.

[@mommyshark1124]

@@AllAboutCatsYT I tried the fancy feast medley shredded turkey "fare", he ate it! I free feed him kibble 24/7. Do you think that might be why he's not eating the whole can, because he's grazing his kibble?

[@monazaki7227]

I'm convinced Fancy Feast has one or two addictive ingredients that make cats only eat that brand! My cat does not eat unless I give her the FF treats, she loves their broth...then gets picky on their grilled variety. She won't even consider any other variety. I spent $55 in Pet Smart trying to wean her from FF. The broth seems good quality. But that's about it.

[@leonardspetstop]

Their purely flaked trays have an amazing and limited ingredients list but I agree the price that comes along with that for the calorie content is not the best. My cats do really love them, though, and I always feel good about giving them the trays especially since Purina does have a great track record for research and development and experts employed with their company. But affordability to feed the highest quality trays version of FF is not great so I can't feed it exclusively to my cat as his only food 😭

I love buying fancy feast for my cat. Both wet food and dry food but the dry fancy feast is hard to find. I've gone to Walmart, Petsmart, Petco looking for the dry food so i don't always buy it. I did notice my cat is now gaining weight over this quarantine so i might just be feeding him to much.

[@user-vp4hj7zi3n]

Thank you so much for all the valuable details. I've been using FF wet food, pate for over 10 years because of the low carb content. My kitty loves it and it's always wet food only. I'm thinking about trying Smalls wet food. We do give our kitty steak, chicken and turkey so she does have human food and loves it, however, not sure it has the entire nutrients she needs. She also loves eggs and we are happy to see her enjoy them. Thanks again for the informative video and I will be back to gain/confirm additional information. Best, Rose

My male cat Buster seems to turn away from anything with fish in it. He loves Fancy Feast chicken and liver canned food because its the only thing that doesn't have fish mixed into it.

[@FilmaticProductions]

Wow! Thank you so much for such an in-depth analysis? I had a question about portions while feeding. On the can, it says you should feed one can per 3lbs of cat. My cat is 12 lbs (and already very chubby!), so should I really be feeding him 4 cans a day?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Great question! Since each can of the Chicken Feast has 99 calories, you should probably be feeding closer to two cans per day. You can find your cat's actual calorie needs by using this calculator: www.petnutritionalliance.org/cat.php

Thank you for this review. I have a 4 year old rescue kitty, but not feral. I can’t afford the high dollar foods, but wanted to get away from kibble and this is the only one she will eat. She is super picky and while I tried others when we first got her a month ago, she just sniffed and walked away. And even with FF, she will only eat the classic Pate. She won’t touch any of the others kinds. I wasted a lot of money when we first got her. :( But this is what she will eat, so I hope she will stay healthy until “our ship comes in” and we can buy the better foods. :)

[@VARY78]

I would recommend a brand that can actually identify what meat is in the food and something without dyes (there's absolutely no reason for them). Brands like these cause allergies and cancer. If you're on a budget there's great affordable brands out there like Taste of the Wild (99 cent cans), Weruva, or FirstMate. You can even do Wellness, I personally don't like them much but they are acceptable.

[@sabrinac4092]

@@VARY78 I tried Taste of the Wild and Weruva when I first got her. She wouldn't touch them, I had to toss them. 😢 I've never heard of the other one.... I'll look into it.

[@VARY78]

@@sabrinac4092 Make sure you're swapping very gradually! Don't swap cold turkey. 25% new and 75% old. You can try toppers to increase palatablility too like goats milk, bone broth, freeze dried raw and treats. Tripe is also really awesome. Tripe is stinky but with cats it's important to note that stinkier is better and can increase appetite and appeal of food. You can even gently warm the food in the microwave to bring out the smell. Cat's have around 500 taste buds (we have almost 10,000!) they mostly taste with their nose. Note that FirstMate does not sell to big commercial retailers because they have quality standards. Check their site to find retailers near you Good luck
