Fancy Feast Reviews

I don't know what has changed with Fancy Feast pates, but my cat literally will not eat it anymore. I can't say I blame her because for some reason it now stinks so bad it is hard to walk by it! So currently looking for something else for her. Please go back to the old Fancy Feast. Signed, A Sad Cat Owner

The recipe changed and the quality went right down the drain. Like, it absolutely tanked. I'm opening cans of chicken primavera that smell like yeast. The the meaty bits are so big I have to take scissors to each can to cut the pieces into something my cats can actually eat. They used to love the Florentine meals, but they won't touch the new stuff. I'm looking for a new brand they'll eat.

So my Nana's cat has been eating this Fancy Feast, Classic Pate for many moons. We've been buying it from Walmart for the last year that I've been with her. All of a sudden in the cans look like a different color in our cat. Her cat will not touch. It says it's grain free, but it looks grainy and I can't get no response from the company 'cause some things had to changed and now he won't eat.

Okay, my cat is literally starving to death because she refuses to eat Fancy Feast, with its new, horrible recipe. My cats have been spoiled on Fancy Feast, which has always been great because they actually eat it. But then they changed the recipe. My cat, who just had oral surgery, needs to eat only soft food for the next couple weeks. Well, she is begging and pleading for me to give her dry crunchies, and when I offer her Fancy Feast, she turns her nose up. A cat, who is literally starving to death is turning up her nose. I am now trying to make her not die by feeding her burger and stuff. Please, please change the recipe back to how it was before my cat dies of starvation.

Fancy Feast tender chicken and liver feast pate changed recipe? My cats barely eat it now, lick it then walk.

I’ve fed my cats Fancy Feast for over 10 years. During Covid it was difficult to find and I came across the site “My Fancy Feast” to order online and have delivered. My cats especially loved the White Meat Chicken Florentine (which I bought by the case from Chewy)…until Purina changed the formula. Like another reviewer I thought the cans had been mislabeled as the contents looked like the Primavera variety. The entire case. Via chat, Chewy promptly sent me a new case and suggested that I donate the first case. The second was the same. I tried adding the Florentine to my order at My Fancy Feast with the same resulting error. Researching led me to many others complaining that Purina had “improved” the formula. Both of my cats are refusing to eat any Fancy Feast. One began vomiting shortly after eating. The other had the softest fur (I don’t even know what to compare it to) that has become coarse.

My 2 senior cats have been fed Fancy Feast dry for 12 yrs. and FF canned for 10 yrs. Switched to Sheba for a while. Switched back to FF canned 3 months ago. Both girls started throwing up a lot, pale diarrhea. Then, they refused to eat either dry or canned. I just lost one, the other is not far behind. There is something wrong with FF food. They have changed ingredients or added more toxins. It's almost like my girls were poisoned, that's how fast it happened. Praying my 5 yr old cat will be ok. There's no way it's a coincidence both my girls have same issues at same time. Throwing up, diarrhea, wasting away, so weak they can barely walk. Total indoors cats. Their water is filtered. No flea meds, collars, etc. The almighty dollar has replaced honesty and caring enough to do the right thing. While pet owners hearts break because we believed and trusted our pets' lives to big companies.

I am amazed that Purina labels the Fancy Feast Turkey as turkey. It totally smells like fish. Fancy Feast and Friskies have both changed and not for the better. Even the feral cat turns up his nose.

As a rescue, we are extremely vigilant about the health and behavior of the cats in our care. When something changes, we notice quickly. Over the past week, 7 of my cats began experiencing vomiting and diarrhea throughout the house. At first, I thought it might have been an incidental matter, but the symptoms continued and escalated. One of my personal cats became severely ill and began vomiting with blood, which required a veterinary visit. After spending over $800, we were told it was “gastrointestinal” and were advised to transition her to a prescription diet. Given the number of cats affected, I began looking more closely at potential common factors. The one consistent variable across all of them was Purina Fancy Feast wet food (pâté).

Have been buying Fancy Feast for years and now something has changed…. My cat won’t eat it! I’m throwing away more than he eats. I will be looking for something else now. I’m sure they are messing with ingredients to save money. I had that problem with Hill’s Science diet. They “changed” formulas or something and I had to leave them too, for both my cat and dog! What good is it if you change things for whatever reason and lose customers.
