Fancy Feast Reviews

This is the second time it happened. I let the first go; I just threw it away. Sorry about the video. It was the best I can get. It would not accept the video.

My problem is with the Fancy Feast Petites. Particularly the Ocean Whitefish Entree with Tomato in Gravy. Been feeding this to my cats for years now. Every once in a while they don't want to eat but lately they have been refusing. Only started after I received an order from Amazon, so started looking very hard at package and food. There are different markings on pull tabs. Most have an A or B. As cats won't eat. Food has a very light color along with gravy, consistency almost mushy. The B's no problem. Food darker, same with gravy. Coarser cuts looks like what I've been feeding for years. Thought problem might be with Amazon. Was thinking of contacting them so decided to order from Chewy. Same problem. Have a 12 count box with 11 marked with As on B.

Your food is not worth buying anymore. A my cats, 2 indoor and the 2 feral are refusing to eat it. Whatever you've done, it was the wrong thing and I refuse to waste any more money on your product. The pic below is a pic of yet another feeding walked away from dried out on the dish. The cost is in the hundreds now. WTH???

My cat has had profuse vomiting and diarrhea after eating Fancy Feast Chicken Medley. He has been quite healthy previously. His blood work is normal. This appears to be food poisoning. I have spent over $1000 at the vet. I only hope he gets better. Why hasn’t this widely reported issue been addressed??

My cat refuses to eat 8 out of 10 cans. I will not be buying Fancy Feast anymore. The worst part of it is that Purina is totally ignoring there’s a problem. The bean counters yanked another company!

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.

I bought the Fancy Feast Florentine and it's not the same and my cats hate it. It use to contain the white creamy sauce. Why did you change it. I'll no longer buy it because my cats won't eat the crap! I'll be looking for something different.

Recently Fancy Feast changed the recipe for the Florentine as IT NO LONGER EXISTS. My cat hates that crap and Fancy Feast DOES NOT CARE. It cannot be Florentine and in a delicate broth. TWO DIFFERENT recipes. Shame on you Fancy Feast. You care not about purchasers!!!!! If I could give it negative stars I would. You want a receipt check my Chewy account and you will find all of my receipts. No more purchases from you as well as I AM DONE WITH YOU.

I have been using Fancy Feast for many years and my upstairs cats particularly like the Florentine Tuna. The recipe was changed recently and my boy cat just throws it up. He also scratches a lot now and has a sore patch on his tummy from licking. His poop has started becoming exceptionally stinky in just the last two months. What's with Fancy Feast? Don't they know that I'm going to stop buying their product? I have already started searching.

I started buying Fancy Feast wild salmon Florentino and cats loved it. It had a white gravy with pink salmon. So here last month I got my shipment of 3 cases and went to feed my cats, and I got some kind of dark meat with like a light brown gravy. So thought maybe 1 box was mislabeled. Opened the other 2 same thing. Contacted Chewy and they said the formula was changed. My cats won't eat whatever is in this stuff. Before, they would clean the plate. I am not sure what kind of meat is in it, but doesn't look like salmon, very dark and chunk like. It's sad when a company changes a product to make it cheaper and not worth anything. I have also read where cats are getting sick, and unconfirmed deaths from it. So if I were you, do not buy.

I have been buying Fancy Feast Dry Filet Mignon for quite some time. Now, all of a sudden, they won't touch it or I see where they are throwing it up. Tossing it all! What did they do to it!?

FANCY FEAST-YOU HAVE A PROBLEM-CATS GETTING SICK-FIX IT!!! Lately my 2 cats are not wanting the fancy feast wet food and one of my cats loves it-but now he is not eating much of it when I feed them-I have found a lot of gristle or very small, what looks like silvers of bones-turkey, beef. Fish pate. They are just eating the dry food. And my 2 boys seem to get sick-throw up and some diarrhea. I just bought a couple of cases the other day and again the food is looking the same. WORRIED ABOUT THE SLIVER OF BONES & GRISTLE STUFF. I have my receipts. I am looking for another brand for my boys.

The Fancy Feast variety pack for cats seven and up has a gravy based option and unfortunately, it caused my cat to have diarrhea and it caused her to throw up extremely aggressively. Making her extremely scared to even eat her dry food.

Lately Fancy food wet cat food has been different, altered and no good; my cats wouldn’t touch it. Very disappointed and unhappy. They used to eat Florentine packs, now the quality is bad and do not recognize the food.

Our two indoor cats have been on Fancy Feast canned for several years. Some time in early Dec., our 12 yr old started having unexplained diarrhea. Fast forward to today January 11, 2025, two vet visits of stressful tests, $765 later... our cat is healthy. The vet can't find a reason for her diarrhea and has scheduled ultrasound in morning. Yesterday we changed her food to Tiki Cat for seniors 11+. She loves the food and overnight it looks as though her stool is firming. We are very pleased. I am fuming! We all know these changes were not for the health of anyone's cat, but for the health of the corporation. If anyone find a legitimate reason to bring a class action suit, count me in. I'd like to recoup some of my money spent on vet bills.

We have been feeding our cats Fancy Feast for years. They used to love the pate...mainly chicken, turkey and beef. About 6 months ago, they started refusing to eat the chicken and turkey and would only eat the beef. With my latest case that I got last week, they are refusing the beef as well. I see many reviews that indicate something has changed with the recipes or quality of ingredients that are causing cats to either refuse it or to get sick from it. I hope Purina sees these reviews and takes some sort of action to correct the situation. In the meantime, I'll have to switch to something else.

Lately the Florentine labeled cat food has been canned with primavera cat food. I called fancy feast on their 800 number (866) 979-2470 and was on hold for five minutes before reaching someone. After explaining that their Fancy feast Primavera cat food is mislabeled as Florentine and it has gotten me three times already. The people at pet smart don’t believe it’s happening and just shrug it off.

After years of giving my cats Friskies, I switched to Fancy Feast because they had gravy options with pate. I've been giving this to my 20 year old cat for a while with no issues. I recently got a batch from Amazon (purchased Dec 2025) with an expiration of Sept 2027 and it gave my cat extreme gi issues including bloody diarrhea. After the first can (his gi issues started about 18 hours after the first can), he was hungry but refused to eat a fresh can from the same batch. I got a fresh batch dated Nov 2028 and he hasn't had any issues since recovering. I did notice that the plastic was ripped like someone had checked the bottom of the can for lot/exp info. Now I'm having trouble finding this food anywhere. I wonder if this food was pulled due to quality concerns.

My cats love Fancy Feast Medleys, specifically Primavera. In the past 6 months I've noticed the white meat chicken Primavera hasn't been diced/chopped up like the other flavors. There are large chunks mixed in as if the blades to the machine cutting up the food aren't sharp enough. I'm having to use a fork and knife to cut up the food, which is annoying.

My cat Josh has been eating Fancy Feast for about 2 years. All was good until the last few months. Stopped eating any of the turkey. He doesn't like the gravy ones. Now he is throwing up after the 1.15 price ones in gravy, white. He is now drinking a lot of water. More harm than good? Stop hurting our cats!!

Opened up a sealed case of 24 Fancy Feast Grilled Seafood and 3 cans were completely without a label and 20 cans seem to be fine. One can was missing from the bottom tray of 12. I’m including the numbers on the side and the bottom of the three cans. What is going on?

I adopted two female cats last year and have been feeding them Fancy Feast Mesleys, along with Purina One Plus Dry. In the past month, I’ve noticed that the girls are not eating their fancy feast anymore. Now they take a couple of bites and won’t touch it anymore. Something told me that the recipe might’ve changed because in the past, they loved this stuff. Long story short today, I did some Google research and saw that I was right. The formula did change and there are other pet owners who are having the same issue. I wish I had known because I have two boxes left of this stuff because I ordered from Chewy and get it shipped monthly. In the past I used Friskies wet and never had any problems. I think I’m going back to that.

I really loved Fancy Feast for my cat, and she loved it as well until I started seeing bugs in my house. They were coming from the food and it was nasty. They’re tiny and flies really fast. The food was completely sealed and there was probably 100+. I killed a lot but they’re still so many wandering around.

My cats have been on Fancy Feast most all their lives. Ages are 16, 14, 10 and 11/2 years old. All had their favorite flavors of Fancy Feast. But in The last few months they eat it half- heatedly and the one year old has flat - out recused any flavor. The cans look very different upon opening and smell different too. Even the 10 year old, who is a TNR cat and would eat any flavor and clean everyone's plate now leaves some too. Such a shame, Fancy Feast! Do better!!!

The new batch of of chicken vegetable broths has little green specs. My cat doesn't like it at all. He has always craved it but not now. He takes one sniff and walks away. It was always the treat I gave him when I got home but now I don't have an alternative.

We have been feeding our 15 year old male cat Fancy Feast gravy lovers for years now. The past 6 months + He still enjoys the turkey and beef, not the chicken. When all he has to eat is the chicken with gravy in his bowl he will eat a spoonful and 10 minutes later he throws it up.

My cats used to love your cat food. Now they won't even touch it. It has a weird odor and smell and it just stinks lately. I don't know what you changed. My cats used to love it. Whatever you did to change this food put it back. I love my cats like their own my own because I have no kids. These are my life and the food is just disgusting.

My cats; 3 1 yr old tortie sisters and one 4 year old Maine Coon/tabby used to love Fancy Feast. About 4 months ago, they started refusing to touch it. I thought it was a bad batch but I have tried everything from new batches to switching to cuts instead of pate. They will not eat it. They sniff it and walk away. I'm so confused and frustrated! I have to switch and I'm sorry, but don't know what else to do as I have spent way too much on trying to figure this out. I've bought from Walmart, Chewy, and PetSmart but usually autoship from Chewy.

I have 4 cats and have been feeding all my cats Fancy Feast for over 10 years. In the last 2 months my cats have been throwing up and getting occasional diarrhea and no longer finishing their food. I am going to have to change brands. So frustrating that the quality has gone down so much.

I have fed my cats Fancy Feast for about 13 years with no problem until the last month. I have 2 adult cats and as soon as they would eat the pate (many flavors), they would throw up. Not just a little bit, it was a lot. I just changed foods and they have done a complete turnaround with no vomiting. What happened, Fancy Feast! Do not recommend this product that I used to like.

I have been buying 2 cases a month for many years. I have 2 males that suddenly will not eat the food they have loved for years. I called Chewy tonight to ask if they would take a report on my lot #. They were very accommodating. The only thing I asked of them was to make a report. I was more curious to see if others have had the same problem. Some of the reviews I saw confirmed my suspicions, a few others had the same issue.
