Purina Fancy Feast Wet Cat Food Flaked Fish and Shrimp Feast - (Pack of 24) 3 oz. Cans

As far as I can tell, all the other flavors in the Fancy Feast "flaked" product line are made with some sort of processed meat/wheat gluten blend formed into flake shapes. This one is actual flaked fish (and a few small shrimp), no gluten! It's similar to the premium brands like Tiki Cat Luau that cost 2 or 3 times as much per serving. With no added starches, I feel comfortable feeding this to my diabetic cat. The nutritional profile on this is also excellent; at 15% protein and 2% fat, it's got 50% more protein and less than half the fat of many of the Fancy Feast pate flavors. That said, I would not feel comfortable feeding this exclusively to any of my cats. Most cats love fish, but they evolved eating birds and small mammals, so I think they need to be eating foods based on chicken, organ meats, etc too. But this is a great food to be part of their diet, especially if you have a fat cat who wants wet food but needs a lower fat option than the pates. Update: beware of shipping damage! My recent delivery had two cans in the corner of the pack crushed and leaking and the whole package smelled of rotten fish as a result. Yuck! Fortunately the mess was contained by the plastic wrap around the pack and didn't contaminate other items shipped in the same box.

I usually purchased this food from petfooddirect.com, but I have to say that Amazon.com sells fresher food than petfooddirect.com. The food in the can looks as if it was just recently canned. It's very flaky with whole pieces of shrimp in it, and my cat eats it like it's going out of style! The food is nutritionally sound. If you allow Amazon.com to ship it to you with regularity you save even more money, just twelve dollars and change for a case of 24 and free shipping too! All of petfooddirect's promotional codes still doesn't allow you to get the food freely shipped, and the same goes for petco. The cost of shipping is really ridiculous! The price of flaked cat food is so expensive. Fancy feast sells food called 'Fancy feast appetizers' that sell for $1.25+ and you get so little in the container! My cat loves them but they cost so much and you're getting less than 2 ounces in the little plastic container. I'm afraid that I've begun to buy human tuna at my store for my cats since it's on sale all the time, mostly at 99cents per can, (particularly Bumble Bee chunk white tuna). You get more in the can for less money. The chunk light tuna is better than chunk white tuna and has less exposure to mercury which of course is the healthiest for both humans and cats alike. I also buy Bumble Bee canned Salmon and I give my cat just a little from it every day while refrigerating the rest in a little garlic powder and spring water and my cat loves it! My cat loves the fish juice so I add a good amount of spring water to the salmon that I refrigerate in a Tupperware-like container I purchased from QVC(some plastic containers have a chemical-like odor that are not healthy for use so I never buy them). The Bumble Bee Salmon also has bones in it that are edible(very crunchy). Tuna in general & most de-boned fish are low in vitamin E, calcium, sodium, iron, copper and many other vitamins(according to pet specialists) but the Bumble Bee Salmon has bones and skin in it (with all that good fish oil in the skin)for the cat's coat. I can get Bumble Bee Salmon on sale for $1.99 a can and sometimes less at stores like CVS, Walgreens & RiteAid and it's much cheaper to feed my cat this food than to buy him canned cat food that can make you go broke. But, the only canned cat food that I can recommend in terms of affordability and excellent quality is Fancy Feast's Fish & Shrimp, may they never stop making it!

My cats love this food. One of our go tos in rotation

This is my cats favorite meal. He loves it more than pate or shredded fancy feast. It's fishy smelling probably why he likes it so much. My other cat (Rip) absolutely loved it too. They both do. Well after all it is real fish and shrimp pieces. Cats love fish.

Although my two beasts aren’t very vocal about their likes, they actually do make it well known when they don’t like something. As this disappears rather quickly Im assuming they are satisfied with this food. The food that tastes real good, makes cats purr like a cat food should!

My cats usually love this, but there were a few cans that they wouldn't touch. It was very odd...

Good purchase

I have tried everything from Royal Canin to this, and this is the only one my cat will eat. I was convinced the more expensive brands meant better flavor for her and apparently that is not the case. I tried at least 6-7 types of canned food and she would not touch them. Even the other flavors of this brand go uneaten. I was surprised when I opened the first can and there was an actual whole/small shrimp. Figured it was a one off and she got lucky but there has been at least one whole shrimp in pretty much each can. Fancy Feast totally stepped it up on this one.
