Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2005Quality food from mass-market vendors?
I recall reading in one of these forums that one of the mass market brands, possibly Friskies but I am not sure, has recently improved the quality greatly. I went to a store and tried to locate the new product. However, all Friskies cans I saw, and a few other inexpensive brands I checked, had "by-products" as first or second ingredient. Is the new product being sold only through certain stores? I would appreciate any information. > I recall reading in one of these forums that one of the mass market > brands, possibly Friskies but I am not sure, has recently improved the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Is the new product being sold only through certain stores?

Yes. Now in many flavors, "beef" or "chicken" are the first ingredient,whereas before it was byproducts. Tender Beef Feast is a good one as is Salmon Feast. They are both ground foods. <pakrat@localhost.private.neotoma.org> wrote: > I vaguely recall it being fancy feast (aka kitty krack) > was the company that improved their formulations. Thanks. I'll look into it. -- Visit http://www.magicteapot.com/ an Adult Search Engine >I recall reading in one of these forums that one of the mass market > brands, possibly Friskies but I am not sure, has recently improved the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Is the new product being sold only through certain stores?

Ma'iingan Kwe I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time. They seem to really love it. The tender beef feast looks like real pieces of beef in gravy. The tuna slices does too. It also has the highest % of protein in cat food I've seen. They also really like the ocean whitefish. > -- > Visit http://www.magicteapot.com/ [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Ma'iingan Kwe : I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time.

They : also really like the ocean whitefish. Checked Petmart today. Unlike most other brands, which come in cans of varying sizes, FF seems to come in small 3 oz cans only. They were 42 cents. A pack of 24 was $9.99, about 41.6 cents, some volume discount! Anyway I got a few cans for my cat to try out. > : I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time. They seem to really love it.

I know, it sucks - I wish it would come in bigger cans and ;you get a better discount for volume. My four are eating 4 cans a day already and I'm trying to increase their canned food and decrease their dry food, so I'm looking at even higher costs in the future. FF is about .46 cents per 3 oz. can here. I'm hoping they'll get up to 8 cans a day so that's $3.68 every day (which, I guess if you think about it, is still less than one happy meal! ;>).

What are the best quality brands one can get in 14-16 oz cans? : What are the best quality brands one can get in 14-16 oz cans? Not 14-16 oz, but Trader Joe's house brand offers good value in common 5.5-6 oz size. The ingredient list reads great, the prices are 39-49 c, compared with 69-79 c for more famous premium brands. Just discovered a few days ago. > : I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time. They seem to really love it. > The [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > cents.

My supermarket charges over 50 cents a can. I also feed my 3 furbabies 9-lives, which they eat, but not as happily as they eat fancy feast. >> : I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time.

I feed my cat the store brand FF, half of the time she will vomit name brand FF. Maybe try Whiskas in a pouch, some of it is real juicy. >I feed my cat the store brand FF, half of the time she will vomit name >brand FF. Maybe try Whiskas in a pouch, some of it is real juicy. Store brand FF ??? What is that ?? >> : I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time.

I have six that like FF plus they like the Sheba also. I feed them FF at night like when they eat they main meal then for their morning meal I give them a variety of canned which includes 9 Lives, Whiskas, Sheba, ETC. That way they do not get really set on any particular brand even though they prefer FF. Trying to plan ahead since I am in my 60s and the furbabies are all like 3 - 4 years old except one that is 12. When someone else takes them when I am gone, which hopefully they will, they may not get fed like I do (The pricey stuff) so then it will not be that bad on them if they start getting like 9 Lives or such. Pet Smart does have their Pet Smart card here now which often gives you a discount on Fancy Feast. Where will you spend eternity? The smoking or non smoking section? http://www.cornerstonecc.com/ http://www.alphaassociation.org/ http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ >: I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time.

I e-mailed Fancy Feast a while back and they said if there was a big enough demand they would consider making Fancy Feast in a larger can. >>: I feed my cats Fancy Feast all the time.

If and when Fancy Feast comes in larger cans, people will probably just switch to Iams rather then spend the $80 a can FF will cost. pepsi > ... As an alternative suggestion, look at Trader Joes. I looked at ingredient list and price, and it seems like a great value. |
