Fancy Feast from Purina (Nestle) is very popular in Australia, but is it popular because it\u2019s healthy for your cat, or because it\u2019s readily available and cheap<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This would be my view, but also because the packaging and meaningless marketing words, fancy graphics, and gorgeous looking cats make Fancy Feast look so amazingly appealing!<\/p>\n

The TV ads really suck you in as well.<\/p>\n

But\u2026 they\u2019re just ads\u2026 and say zilch about what Fancy Feast is made from, which for the dry biscuits is a great deal of grain for your cat carnivore who shouldn\u2019t be fed such rubbish.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at both the dry food and range of wet foods (of which the pate looks to be the best option by far).<\/p>\n

Fancy Feast dry food review<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Fancy<\/a><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ll take a look at Fancy Feast Tuna, Prawn, Mackeral & Crab Flavour which according to the Fancy Feast website is \u201ca highly palatable gourmet dry cat food made for adult cats that has been cooked and basted to a delicately crunchy finish\u201d.<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s that good for your cat, why don\u2019t they advertise the main ingredient<\/strong> on the packaging, which is Grains and Grain Products (Wheat, Corn and Rice)<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

This uncovers the truth about Fancy Feast dry food immediately, because this definitely isn\u2019t \u201ccarnivore\u201d, and fed to your cat over the long term would very likely be bad news on two counts \u2013 (1) moisture-less dry food is far from optimal for your cat, and (2) especially when it\u2019s made of inappropriate ingredients for your carnivore.<\/p>\n

The second (and only other main ingredient) is Meat and meat products (Chicken and Beef)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the ingredients of other recipes as well \u2013 you\u2019ll see the main ingredients are exactly the same, so it doesn\u2019t matter which recipe you pick.<\/p>\n

Although the meat ingredient doesn\u2019t scream quality \u2013 it\u2019s likely the cheapest mish mash of chicken and beef leftovers possible \u2013 this is at least more appropriate for your cat. But sadly, we know the grains are the most significant ingredient.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but this makes me think of stray cats scavenging whatever they can out of desperation in a dark New York alleyway (I think I\u2019ve been watching too many kids cartoon movies recently).<\/p>\n

Cats will eat whatever they can if they have to.<\/p>\n

When we consider Fancy Feast is well and truly a budget cat food, we can\u2019t expect any of the ingredients to be quality, can we?<\/p>\n

Despite Tuna, Prawn, Mackeral, and Crab appealing to our vision of \u201cgourmet\u201d in the recipe name, these inclusions are way down in the ingredients \u2013 and are absolutely miniscule.<\/p>\n

How funny is that?<\/p>\n

(or not funny)<\/p>\n

As a dry cat food it has to be said Fancy Feast is one of the worst, and if this is all you can afford you should do your cat a favour and offer them healthy carnivore-appropriate table scraps, meat, offal, eggs, or raw meaty bones in the hope of boosting nutrition.<\/p>\n

Thankfully the Fancy Feast wet foods are a little more appropriate, although knowing which ones \u2013 mostly the pate \u2013 you\u2019ll have to consider the ingredients of each.<\/p>\n

Fancy Feast wet food review<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Fancy<\/a><\/figure>\n

The Fancy Feast wet foods vary greatly in terms of ingredients.<\/p>\n

Some are made of cereals, like the kibble, or contain sugars, artificial flavourings, and other ingredients which highlight the range as a budget cat food.<\/p>\n

The pate range looks to be the best \u2013 even half decent \u2013 which you can tell from the ingredients:<\/p>\n

Fancy Feast Savory Centers Salmon and a Gourmet Gravy Pat\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0(top ingredients) \u2013 Poultry broth, poultry, liver, meat by-products, salmon, artificial and natural flavors, pork plasma, steamed bone meal.<\/p>\n

We can pick holes (i.e. meat by-products, artificial flavours etc), but those ingredients read much better than these:<\/p>\n

Fancy Feast Royale Tuna with Shrimp<\/strong>\u00a0(all ingredients) \u2013 Tuna, Shrimp, Gelling Agents and Vitamin E<\/p>\n

Imagine how a cat could suffer if the owner fed that to their cat as a main diet over the long term.<\/p>\n

Fancy Feast Petite Delights with Grilled Turkey<\/strong>\u00a0chunks in gravy (top ingredients) \u2013 Meat, Cereal Protein, Amino Acids.<\/p>\n

Not great, right?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a complete and balanced cat food, and I would say a can of tuna or chicken would be the better option for your cat \u2013 but only as a treat<\/em> or supplement<\/em>, not a balanced meal.<\/p>\n

Offering your cat the Fancy Feast pates as part of the diet probably isn\u2019t a bad thing, especially if their main diet is dry cat food, just keep in mind as a budget-conscious brand can\u2019t be considered on par with more expensive wet cat food brands. <\/p>\n

Where to buy?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fancy Feast is a popular brand in Australia and is therefore available at many retailers \u2013 you\u2019ll find the range of Fancy Feast dry and wet foods in Coles, Woolworths, and other popular supermarkets.<\/p>\n
