Fancy Feast Reviews

I noticed a difference 1st from my FF Beef In Gravy. It used to be dark brown gravy, now it's not! Also, the scent in 'all' FF seems to be stronger, not to mention others have gotten lighter in color also. Today, either cats of mine wouldn't eat their wet food at all! Anyone else?

Recently I bought Fancy Feast grilled wet cat food for my two cats - I bought 3 cases and returned them all - Not sure what Purina is doing but the quality has really down hill - the 1st can I opened seemed ok but the second can was awful - not sure what was in this can but it didn't look like it was supposed to - I would not feed this garbage to my cats in fear that they might get sick - I sent pictures and all the info to Purina and to date have not heard back from them - won't be buying this anymore!

I have been feeding my cats Fancy Feast canned food for years. Out of nowhere, both cats refused to eat the food. I tried a different flavor, same result. These cans were from a new batch I just bought. At the same time, they started vomiting multiple times a day and having diarrhea. Then the older one became lethargic. Both cat's vitals were normal, but they were both obviously very sick, complaining when I touch their bellies. After treating both cats for nausea, giving fluids, adding in antibiotics (over $1,000 later), I had them on Purina ProPlan EN for sensitive stomachs. They did really well on this, both returned to normal. Then last night, I eventually fed them each a 1/2 can of Fancy Feast after I ran out of prescription canned food. This morning, the older one is listless again, refusing to eat, complaining when I touch her belly again.

I was searching to find out why I can't buy Fancy Feast grilled turkey and giblets anymore and found that they are discontinuing it. To my horror I came across all of these stories about cats being sick and now it all makes sense. My cat got real sick last May, just like all the others on here vomiting, not eating and after more than a $1000 in vet bills she was put on a prescription diet and got better. Just before this happened for probably the previous 6 months leading up to it she gradually would quit eating various flavors of fancy feast and was losing weight and eventually she was throwing up and refusing to eat and she had a high fever for several days when she was at her sickest. I'd find flavors that she would eat and then all of a sudden she wouldn't eat them.

Been.. buying Fancy Feast dry food since it came on the market... my last bag I bought notes on the front no dyes... that was new.. upon opening the bag I did notice it's all one color now. I went to their website and it says new formula... well... my four cats will not touch any of the dry food anymore... they have changed more than removing the dye... I now have to find something they will all eat.. Fortunately I still had a bag that had not been changed.... the smell between the two is also very noticeable...goodbye fancy feast.

If I could give Fancy Feast a 0/5 stars I would. We had 2 cats that were basically raised on Fancy Feast, suddenly a few years ago one of the cats would refuse to eat any other food, or any other flavor other than salmon and shrimp. He began vomiting, losing weight and unfortunately we believe he developed cancer and we had to euthanize him. A few months ago, our other cat began to only want the salmon and shrimp flavor, began vomiting after eating, losing weight was heading down the same road as our other cat. I stopped feeding him Fancy Feast, looked into other brands and found Open Farm. Since starting Peach on the Open Farm food he has gained weight back and has stopped vomiting, he is more spunky and I whole heartedly believe Fancy Feast, whatever is in their food, is killing cats. For some background, my cats have been healthy their entire lives, never had any medical problems.

My cats are getting sick and vomiting up their wet food. Do not have this problem with other brands. These issues have been consistent for some time. You have lost our business. What is happening??? Investigation needed.

I have been feeding all of my cats Fancy feast pate for over a decade. Recently my cats have been getting sick and puking the undigested food after they eat it. They don’t even finish what I put down for them. They used to love it and eat the entire amount. Not anymore. They have diarrhea and all four puked up piles of what they just ate. I will not be feeding my cats this brand anymore. Such a shame!!

Their quality has gone down considerably. I don’t have any issues with my cats not eating it or getting sick. What I’ve been seeing for some time is huge chunks in all of the grilled varieties. Way bigger than there was before and consistently huge and sometimes ridiculously large. When I open a can 90% of the time I have to use kitchen shears to chop up the huge chunks into smaller bite sized bits, like it used to be before straight out of the can. I realize it isn’t gourmet cat food, but it was a few steps up from the cheap stuff. Not so much anymore and disappointing…

My cat ate FF for years. I ordered a 48 box. Within weeks he got sick with severe diabetes and died. I didn’t think about the food. I had some left over. I got a new cat. Now he has same symptoms. What is going on?

I've been feeding my two girls the Fancy Feast salmon pate exclusively for years and suddenly they're vomiting it up. They're still trying to eat it but I'm concerned. My two boys get Fancy Feast flaked tuna and Wellness mixed together. No vomiting. I'll be trying to give it to my two girls, too.

I have been a loyal Friskies and FF consumer with my 2 cats since 2012. Friskies Poultry Mix and FF poultry grilled to be specific. Noticed package change on Friskies with formula change noted. Both indoor only cats, 12 and 16, became very ill with vomit and diarrhea. Stopped Friskies and tried using only the Fancy Feast. Noticed large rubbery pieces. Cats are constipated with black stool and throw up whole serving in whole pieces 3 hours after eating. What has happened to this brand?!

I bought Fancy Feast for 10 yrs, they made a change to their can food. Now my cat gets sick a lot and his bowels movements are horrible smelling and soft. This never happened before they changed their food. I'll be finding a new cat food now. I've been researching and there's a lot of problems with this issue now in Fancy feast.

I have been feeding my cats Fancy Feast Seafood pate for many years. I have found these large beige rubbery pieces in the cod, sole and shrimp pate in 2 different cans this week. I contacted Purina and they said "The material you have identified is a protein that is naturally occurring from the real ingredients used in the manufacturing of our products. The real ingredients used in the production of this product are ground in their natural state, however, there can be variation in the texture, size, and color of the food." It is "protein" they said?? Doesn't look like naturally occurring protein to me!

Please do not feed your fur babies this food! It is dangerous! I just lost my 10-week-old kitten to liver failure and, because I believed that this was a good food, this is all she ate. She was fine literally 12 hours ago and she died 4 hours ago. Please do not let your cats eat this!

Finding little hard white pieces in chicken pate. Chewy is awesome and replaced the last case and I have the same problem. I did research on Reddit and there are other complaints of finding fillers in the pate that are rubbery and even plastic. Please don’t buy this for your furkid.

My cats have eaten Fancy Feast for years, but BOTH refuse to eat it now. Something's not right. Once loved now hated. I've tried a variety of flavors and nothing. They would rather starve. The food smells extra gross now too so I don't blame them. Looks grey too. Big waste of money.

Updated on 07/10/2024: My cats have been enjoying Fancy Feast Seafood Pate for years. On this last purchase they won’t even touch it! I contacted Purina and basically told me too bad. So I decided to try a different Fancy Feast flavor for my cats. I ordered it from Chewy. I opened up a can and it smells like rotted meat! Why is there so many issues?

I have experienced the same issues as others have: color changes, little gravy in "gravy lovers" food. Those changes started happening during Covid. You would get a good batch once in a while. Now, June 2024, I've been finding lots of bones in the classic pate food, especially the beef. It looks the the large cans of Friskies only much more expensive. Very unhappy. My cats have loved the brown gravy in the beef feast. It is no longer brown and there's very little gravy, just large chunks that have to be cut. Is it possible they're substituting Fancy Feast with Friskies catfood? I feed 8 cats. Why should I pay $1 to $1.45 (savory centers) for Friskies quality?

I usually buy 2 flats to give my 4 cats about a month of wet food. All 4 cats are snubbing their noses at it for the past week. I purchased different flavors from the grocery store, same problem. I don't pretend to know what's happening but there must be something in the food that is wrong. I took my 13 year old cat to the vet and she is in the beginning stages of renal failure. I think it's because she's starving herself due to the wetfood. What's happening?

My 3 Cats were eating Wellness Signatures for the past 2 years. I switched to Fancy Feast to save money. I notice my Cats throwing up occasionally on Fancy Feast Grilled Collection. I also notice the change in the appearance of their coat. Their Fur looks wiry and coarse this past year. These things are not good healthy signs. I am going back to Wellness.

I don't know what they've done to the food since these new cans and sachets have come out. My 6yo cats will no longer touch it. The smell from one of the cans almost made me vomit! Now they're a waste of everyone's money!

I was buying Fancy Feast wet food for all 9 of my babies up until this past weekend. They ate the Cod, sole & shrimp feast, savory salmon feast & ocean whitefish & tuna, & have ALL been vomiting, again & again... now it's bile!!! This has never happened before & I'm absolutely disgusted with this brand! There's NEVER been a recall on their food? Hmm, I bet that's because they HIDE EVERYTHING!!! I know damn well if my cats got sick other people's pets have as well!

I'm done with Fancy Feast. None of my 8 cats will eat it anymore. They used to love it but that was before the colors and textures changed. Now it stinks and the color of the food has changed. I recently lost an 11 yrs old Maine Coon that loved Fancyfeast salmon gravy from day one, when it was a pink color, during pandemic it changed. Now it's grayish in color and smells nasty. He got pancreatic cancer and I think it was his food. I've called to complain and was brushed off then they hung up on me. I've spent a fortune on my cats for past 20 yrs but not one more penny will go to Purina now. They raised their prices but quality is horrible and now their food is making all my cats sick. I have been trying to switch out their food but I can't find anything they all will eat like they used to when Fancyfeast was good. Any recommendations? Tempted to make my own wet cat food for them. Help!?!

My two 15 year old cats have been fed Purina Fancy Feast Classic Pate (poultry & fish recipes) for many years with no issues. In the past few months we have added a few Gourmet Naturals for variety. Suddenly both cats are rejecting the wet food. I am dumping more than they are eating which is very costly. In addition, after eating, they have been throwing up after their meals. I've read that Purina is changing the formula to eliminate artificial preservatives & colors, but I feel something else is going on to make this food smell bad & the cats turning their noses up at mealtimes & getting sick. I'm done with Purina & switching to a vet recommended home cooked diet with added supplements. My cats deserve better than whatever Purina is producing. Obviously from these reviews something is not right & pets are suffering.

Something has definitely changed in the last 6 months to now. My cats loved it. Now the wet food is so sticky and dry. They don’t want to eat it. The Gravy Lovers has very little moisture and it appears to have odors.. My cats could consume three a day. Now. I’ lucky if I can get them to eat one can between the both of them. I’ve tried all different flavors and same happens with all of them. The cat food is extremely dry which my cats love the gravy. Nothing now. Please analyze what went wrong with your recipes and go back to the original and please don’t cut costs. What I buy is between $.95 and $1.35 a small can, I can’t afford to toss it out. Thank you.

Our 12 year old cat has loved Fancy Feast since she was a kitten, and it was the only wet cat food she would eat. In the past six months, we've noticed it looks different, smells different, and... She's gone from wolfing it down, to mostly licking the gravy off, to not wanting to eat it. This has been expensive as we tried different types within the brand. Something seems way more different than what the company is claiming. (They took out preservatives.). Why would that completely change the texture, look and smell? We're done. If anyone has other brands your cat now does like, please share. We're at our wits end with paying for and then giving or throwing away cans (and a couple whole cases.).

My 2 cats have been faithfully loving and only eating Fancy Feast Seafood Grilled wet food for 10 months. The last couple of boxes we have purchased, since January 2024, they are completely rejecting. Neither one of them will touch the food. They have not stated the formula changed, there has been no recall, there needs to be transparency. Multiple cats don't suddenly change.

Updated on 03/01/2024: You claim you are waiting for a response from Fancy Feast. Good luck, I have been looking for a response from them also. I called them and was told nothing wrong and then they hung up and no one bothered with it.

I've been using Fancy Feast (wet and dry) cat food for over 5 years now, and now my cats are vomiting every time I give it to them! I took one cat into the vet and 355.00 later with a completely healthy cat, lots of tests, and 2 1/2 hours later that there was no problem! Vet advised to get off of the Fancy feast and get something better! I've never had this problem before and it is not pleasant to watch them get sick! What happened Purina? Did you go cheap with byproducts? My cats are rescues, one is a polydactyl! Is anyone else having the same problem? Trying to pinpoint this down! All products are on a good date(2025)

My cat has been eating Fancy Feast for eight years at (3) 3 oz ounce cans per day all varieties; Fish, Beef, pate, grilled, petites, etc. 2 weeks ago he started barely touching it. I have bought at least 50 different kinds of wet foods and he don’t like any of them. I can’t slowly incorporate new food into the old because he won’t eat the Fancy Feast so he won’t eat it mixed with other food. It has been a heartbreaking, COSTLY and sad couple of weeks. I’m making a vet appointment tomorrow to make sure he’s OK. Sometimes the Fancy Feast is so THICK with LARGE pieces I can barely cut through. Some smell horrific. And sometimes it smells and looks OK but he still won’t eat it. WHY, Purina?? Did you add something new to all the wet food?

So I started feeding FF a few years ago because one of my cats is/was diabetic. Everything was good all of my 9 cats were on FF. Recently, two of my 9 cats have become seriously ill. It seems to be a stomach issue. Refuse to eat (I did take them off FF abruptly because I don't want my situation getting worse.) 1 of my cats is very sick and has lost a lot of weight. His blood work was fine, but he was concerned with his urine being so dilute. What has FF done to their food. Or Purina I should say. You have lost my business as well as many more.

I have been feeding my cat Fancy Feast for a few years now. My cat has gotten sick from the following brands: Fancy Feast Petites, Appetizers and Classic Broth. She got sick last year from the Petites, but the recent vomiting and stomach upset happened again with all 3 varieties within the last 30 days. I read labels and all the products expired in 2025. Something is wrong with this food. I already threw away the box of Classic broth, so now I am ditching the Petites and Appetizers that I normally stock up on. NOT buying Fancy Feast anymore. What is going on Purina? I used to trust your food - not anymore.

My cat has been eating FF tuna florentine for years. In the last 2 months, it gives him severe diarrhea. He still loves it, but it doesn't love him. I believe there is contamination, especially in the batch expiring In 02/2025. I give him something else & his stool is more solid. I gave him other foods for 7 days. His stool was better. Today, I gave him tuna florentine & he has severe diarrhea again. There is something wrong, it also has a foul smell. If he dies I will sue Purina.

I have noticed that small flying insects are hatching from the food especially if the cat doesn't eat it all on the bowl. When the cat doesn't eat the whole can I put a cover on it for later and find the insects in the food. I will be finding another cat food.

Fancy Feast Fish and Shrimp Feast Flaked used to be a favorite of my cats (and was wonderful to hide medication in) but the last time I purchased it, it was brown and old looking, there were whole pieces of fish skin in the food, and too many bones to pick out, so I had to dispose of it. Some of the pieces of fish were sharp and hard as plastic! I also purchased a 12 count case of FF Gourmet Naturals Pate in Beef Flavor, as I thought it was a healthier choice for my cats, but when I got to the bottom of the can, I saw pieces of the can had come off and were floating in the food. The bottom of the can looked like it had been scratched off or it was a used can, rather than a brand new product.

First of all I want to say FF is all my 6 yr old kitty little girl has ever liked. Something has definitely changed since COVID hit the US. I started noticing there were color changes of the meat (a grayish brown color), as well as the wet food being shriveled up away from the edges of the can and dry looking. My cat loves 3 different paté flavors but won't touch any of them anymore. I have complained to Chewy and they replaced the case I bought with another one but my cat or my mother's 3 cats wouldn't eat it. I have returned unopened cans to Krogers grocery store as well.

My kitty has been eating F.F. for 8 years..I tried the "petites" when they first came out..Liked idea small size..But the stuff smelled "off" and it didn't look right..With each "flavour" she would taste then walk away..I threw it out, rather than give another kitty such poor quality..So back to the cans..Usually Florentine and Tuscany..It wasn't long before the poor quality "petites" were available in cans..This is where they start to confuse the consumers..They say "New packaging but the SAME GREAT TASTE.." IT'S A LIE...Slowly.. They disguise the "switcharoo" with NEW wrapping..Thinking we won't notice..But they can't fool my cat...At first both kinds were available. That's was the transitioning period..Now..the big stores Amazon..Walmart. etc. only carry the GARBAGE..

My cats have eaten Fancy Feast for 16 years. They've changed their packaging and the food is definitely not the same, having a hard time getting any of them to eat any of it. They used to love it, even the cats I feed outside won't eat it. Wish I could show you a picture comparing the White Meat Chicken with Garden greens in a savory broth which used to be their favorite. The meat is definitely not white meat, it's a whole different color, dark, and not the same texture at all. All the medleys have changed. Very disappointed and struggling to find something different.

My sweet cat who was in an impeccable shape a few days ago will likely die tonight. The vet has left us no hope at all as to her chance of survival. Two days ago, she started to vomit and have violent diarrhea. We brought her in a quasi coma state to the vet. 4000$ and a series of analysis, X-ray, ultrasound and blood analysis later, she is dying and the vet is puzzled as to the cause of this sudden fall in her health. In my view, knowing the cat who lives exclusively in an apartment with no access to outdoors, I do not see any explanation other than the food she ate, which was a Fancy Feast Pate. I am almost decided to fork an additional 1500$ to have an autopsy done in a veterinarian university, I am so enraged at that development. I bought the can in Toronto in May. If you have seen similar issues with that product lately, please let me know.

My cat thinks Fancy Feast Broths are a gift from the gods. I've never seen anything like the way he slurps up this pleasant perfection. Broths are great for finicky felines because they're small, not too filling, and fabulous for an addition to kibble or simply on their own. I highly recommend Fancy Feast Broths for overly finicky felines.

I was able to feed ff pate to my diabetic cat and was able to get him off of insulin because of it as it's below 10g of carbs per serving and my cat liked it. I'm now giving it to my Bengal as he had gotten the runs on the dry food.

My picky 5 yo female cat will only eat Fancy Feast Purely Wet Cat Food, 2 oz trays. We have tried many different brands and types of wet food to no avail. What is also good about this product, is its liquid content, which the vet said she needs to help with prevention of bladder crystals.

The fur baby gives it two paws up. He will sit at his bowl and beg for it. The only issue I have is that it's been hard to find his yummy treat of wet food as of late. When I do find it, the markup's been drastic.

My babies have been eating the Fancy Feast's Medleys for years now. They digest it well. Their coats are shiny and healthy!! And they love it!! That's a big bonus with a cat!! Highly recommend this cat food!

Any wet food is better to feed your cat than a kibble. Cats don't have a natural thirst drive so the more moisture you can get in their diet, the better. Most cats succumb to kidney failure at some age. By feeding a can a day you can help your pet live a longer life. AND, it's like ** for cats. They will howl for it. My cats are addicted to the gravy Fancy Feast.

My kitten enjoys the regular gravy lovers. I recently tried the petite splits and wow. He cannot get enough! It has rice and greens. Smells good too. My only concern is that I have not been able to find the Fancy Feast splits in my regular grocery, and now "Peter Parker" has gotten fancy (face palm).

Our boy Charlie turned 21 in October. As he's aged he's become very picky and has been at times, it's very difficult to keep weight on him. The vet suggested a high calorie prescription food but nothing we could do would make him eat it. Then my daughter reminded me of how much he LOVED Fancy Feast pate when he was young. In fact we'd only stopped using it because my daughter wanted to try him on a home made poultry and fish diet. He'd loved that for years but was no longer eating it! So we tried the Fancy Feast salmon pate and he ate the entire thing in one sitting! It's been about a year now and he is loving his Fancy Feast! In fact, we've found him sneaking off to eat his brothers food if it's not eaten right away. Thanks to Fancy Feast, and my daughter's great memory, our Charlie is still going strong.

I have been buying Fancy Feast Ocean Whitefish Pate for all of my cats for over 15 years. A couple of months ago I started noticing it was hard to find any at my local grocery stores. I was able to find it online and ordered from as many places as I could, since it's all my cats will eat. I noticed that the texture and color had changed. Then my cats got severely ill (severe vomiting and diarrhea.) I tried giving them different food but they did not want it. I tried giving them Fancy Feast from a new batch (new sell by date) and they became ill again.

Updated on 10/21/2025: This is a follow-up review to the review I posted here in 2021. Fancy Feast made my cats violently ill, with non-stop vomiting and diarrhea. I wanted to let you know the sad news that both of these cats died within a year and a half and two years of the incident. I ended up getting a check written to me for their care by the company. To me, this lets me know that they knew that there was some contamination. I was just grateful when the issue seemed to resolve. One cat died of kidney cancer at a very young age. And the other cat had always been so healthy and died much younger than I have had any of my cats die. Neither lasted even 2 years past the poisoning.

I have tried many brands of canned cat food over the years, from boutique brands to discount store brand. Some of my cats would eat one kind of food while the rest would not. Finally found something they would all eat, Fancy Feast classics pate seafood variety pack and the Fancy Feast Grilled seafood variety pack. The cats have been eating this everyday for the past few years along with their daily bowls of dry food and are all healthy and doing well. They get no cat treats of any kind. They have never had any urinary, diarrhea, bowel or vomiting issues. They get great reports on their yearly Veterinary visits.

We've been feeding our cats Fancy Feast wet food (pate/primavera/florentine) for some years, but recently something has changed. My 3 cats have started vomiting and having diarrhea. Our youngest cat started encountering respiratory distress, dry heaving, and should would no longer eat. Then she stopped drinking. Then my other cat has been vomiting, thinking it's because she's been overeating, but then she started having diarrhea. Our third cat start vomiting and now won't eat. We had to put our youngest down a week ago because the vet believed it's for the best. I was truly heartbroken. If I would have known that the food could have been the culprit then I would have stopped feeding them this crap a long time ago. I'm switching to a higher quality food brand. Thanks for not providing high quality food to a fur babies.

I have been feeding my 14 yr old cat Fancy Feast for years (along with Royal Canine kibble), but the last box of cans I opened up caused her to vomit. At first I didn't realize, so I kept feeding it to her, and she kept vomiting. Finally I clued in and took the Fancy Feast away and only fed her kibble, and within a day or 2, she stopped vomiting. I can't believe it was the Fancy Feast! The box I bought was the "Elegant Medleys Primavera Collection Wet Cat Food Variety Pack", and I bought it from Loblaws around mid-August 2021. The cans say they are best before May 2023. I hope this review, along with the many others I saw here, help others.

Last week my 12 year old cat became violently ill with projectile vomiting and severe diarrhea. I took him to the vet and stool, urine and blood samples led them to believe he had food poisoning. The ONLY food he eats is Fancy Feast pâté. He had several varieties, including fish and shrimp, beef, and chicken. It was the fish and shrimp that made him ill. He ended up on a round of antibiotics after several days at the vet and receiving fluids and anti nausea meds. I returned the batch that had made him sick and bought a new flavor and more recent batch. When I opened it it smelled bad. He also would not touch it. Switched to a new brand and he’s doing better.

I'm so beyond pissed. We rescued a litter and had families for all 6 kittens. They were doing great until we bought 1 box of Fancy Feast kitten chicken and turkey. In 1-2 weeks we lost 3 to dehydration, diarrhea, and vomiting. They refused to eat after 2-3 days of having a couple days of it. This was devastating as one little boy was staying with us permanently. This is the 3rd summer in a row we fostered stray litters and previously only gave them Pro Plan kitten without any problems.

I am not sure what happened but I have spent over 1,000.00 at the vet. My cats have been eaten the Fish and Shrimp Fancy Feast for over a month. In the past two days 5 of my cats threw up violently and had massive diarrhea. It was horrible. I had them all checked by the vet and Thank God their blood work and stool came back fine. Is it possible a bad batch of this food was made??? Numbers on cans I get sets of 24 03331829L8259 2039 and the other one I threw it out since they started throwing up and having diarrhea.

I have 4 cats. Two of them eat Fancy Feast Savory Centers (chicken, beef). Two of them eat Fancy Feast regular Pate' (no fish flavors). The Savory Ctr cats are absolutely perfect, no issues. The Pate' cats have suddenly developed jello like diarrhea. There's been no changes in their diet, there is nothing in my house that they could have gotten into (no plants, no human food, no cleaners, nothing - I've very particular about having a cat safe home). The ONLY thing different in their lives vs the other two is the Fancy Feast Pate' vs Savory Ctr's (which has been VERY difficult to acquire for the past 8 months, it's a hit and miss with a can here and there if I'm lucky - of course, Purina gives you some ** excuse why). So, it's impossible to have all 4 cats on the Savory Ctr's due to supply shortage.

I have been fostering local kittens since April 2020. I buy a 24 pack case of Fancy Feast Pate Kitten every 2 days. EVERY kitten I've fostered has been mildly to severely ill. I attributed their poor health to being born outside, under houses, in barns or abandoned and unvaccinated. However, even after they had been properly cared for, they would end up sick again every 3-4 weeks. It's been a vicious cycle and they only seemed to be getting sicker every time. They throw up, had diarrhea, even blood in their stool, followed by upper respiratory infections and conjunctivitis. In the past few weeks, my 7 month old foster (Taki) lost 1.3 pounds and she was already struggling to keep weight on. I have always trusted Purina Fancy Feast as they have never had a recall "officially". I never even considered the food being the issue.

My healthy 11yr old cat was changed from Science Dry food to Fancy Feast wet food. He loved it and all was well. We started with chicken pate and moved on to beef/liver. He started leaving food on his plate. Within one month he stopped eating and drinking. Took him to emergency where he was diagnosed with fluid around heart and lungs. The prognosis was dire and we had him put down. Fancy Feast cat food killed my never sick healthy indoor cat - practically over night. We are devastated.

All 4 of our cats have been weird since Xmas day. We had received a new 24 can vase of FF from Amazon, FF seafood pate. We usually order the beef pate or the seafood pate. One of our cats is severely ill. Vomit, diarrhea, lethargic, fever. He is on 4 medications now. Another cat is not eating at all and lethargic as well. Our 2 other cats are also turning their nose at the seafood batch received. All the cats have eaten it and all all have either had diarrhea or vomit since Christmas. Anyone else having issues. Fancy is no longer welcome in our home. The vet said this is for sure something they ate.

I have fed my cats Fancy feast off and on for 5+yrs now. Every now and then, I get a case or batch that seems to make them very ill. This summer all 3 of my cats became violently ill. Puking, diarrhea, lethargy, all the bad stuff. I came home one evening to a litter box full of blood/mucus and 2 of my cats seemed sick, but still ate/drank. My 5yr old, the eldest, I found laying in my basement unable to stand or move in a pile of vomit. $2,500 in vet bills and a 5 night stay at the vet she's back home. I vowed not to buy this brand again.

I've been feeding all my cats Fancy Feast wet food ever since I found the product many years ago. Last year I joined Chewy and because they offer lower prices, I started feeding them a more expensive brand of wet cat food called Sheba. Well my order for Sheba was late this month, so I bought a couple of Fancy Feast cans to hold them over until my shipment of Sheba came in from Chewy.

I have been reading so many negative reviews in Fancy Feast Pate cat food and am wondering how has this cat food not been recalled or had a lawsuit? I currently have a cat in the emergency vet on IV fluid who won’t eat or drink after out of the blue severe vomiting and diarrhea! She immediately threw up her fancy feast shrimp and cod Pate (and has been eating it for a while with no issues) but all of a sudden had this horrible reaction! And now I am not sure of her fate, it’s that bad!

My older cat has been eating the Florentine type for the last 9 years and recently he has been have some issues. The food seems to turn a pink color, have they changed anything within the last few months. Has anyone else noticed this?

We have 2 indoor cats, dry food only. February 2020 my older one stopped eating. Of course she lost weight. She was 14 and I thought maybe she just couldn't chew/swallow dry food anymore. So I bought a couple of cans of Fancy Feast Beef Pate. She liked it and did perk up some. So I bought a whole case from Amazon. That's a lot of money for someone on disability.

I feed the same 5 flavors tins that my 2 cats like. I purchase by the carton. But too often I find that one or both cats refuse to touch the food or if they eat some, a cat sometimes vomits her food. I am starting to believe that the contents are not consistent (substituting ingredients) so the taste varies and sometimes it is tainted, but not enough for a recall. Maybe the company is not even aware they are putting out inferior/tainted quality at the factory, or they are but get away with it??

I've been feeding my cats Fancy Feast for almost a year now. The last 3 days, my cats have been vomiting & have diarrhea. Please use this link to file a complaint with the FDA to get this food recalled **

I took 3 feral kittens in when they were left with nowhere to go and winter was right around the corner. They did best with wet food and snack on dry food. You would think that feral kittens would eat anything but that was far from the truth. Over time I found if I shook the can and could hear the liquid sloshing around. Fancy Feast won out each time. Turkey does not seem to be a favorite but as long as it is fancy feast they will eat it. The flavors have changed over the years and now the Florentine, Tuscany and Primavera (all with greens) are their favorites.

Fancy Feast has a plethora of choices for the finicky cat. Turkey, chicken, beef, organ meat, tuna, mackerel, salmon, scallops, shrimp, sea bass, sole, trout, and whitefish. They all come in a variety of textures including pate', chunky, flaked, minced, shredded, grilled, seared, and roasted. The sauces are in gravy, with milk, garden greens, savory sauces, gravy lovers, creamy delights, natural gravies, and savory centers. There are treats, appetizers, broths, duos, medleys, and that is just the wet food. There is just as much variety in their dry food such as filet mignon & shrimp, turkey & chicken, ocean fish and salmon. The choices are endless as are the sizes from one can to a case. The ingredients are from only the best cuts and fine meats, the sauces delicately blended by a gourmet chef. Your cat will never find boredom in all the choices.

My cats are extremely picky. (As most cats are) I have tried a wide variety of different foods. They will only eat Fancy Feast. They will literally turn their little noses up at all other canned food brands. I have tried to sneak in cheaper one like Friskies but they are too smart to fall for it. I like how I am able to split a can of Fancy Feast between the two of them and it’s the perfect amount. I have found all other canned cat foods portions are too much even when splitting between cats. The fancy Feast canned food is the perfect size and taste for my fur babies.

I appreciate the large variety of flavors. Don't much like that the cans are very small but the price is pretty large. My cat is a bit of a picky eater, but likes a lot of the Fancy Feast fish flavors.

Food is presentable with ingredients identifiable. Aroma is not offensive. Consumer appears to enjoy as opposed to some other brands tried in home. Very few incidents of hair balls and no incidents of projectile vomiting as previously occurring. Enough of a selection of varieties for any Fancy Feast fussy pants. Lets me live with a happy furry child.

My cat loves the Fancy Feast Gourmet Naturals pate. I love that there are no artificial colors in it. She did love the Medleys, but I found out they had artificial colors. I wish that fancy feast would get rid of the artificial colors because the colors aren't fooling anyone.

I fed my Egyptian manx cat Fancy Feast for his entire 17 years of living - I never had a single health issue with him. I was faithful to the brand and also ALWAYS GAVE HIM BOTTLED WATER- NEVER TAP WATER. I never had a single health problem with him. I just had to make the hardest decision ever one week ago and put him down. But he lived 17 happyyyyy spoiled fancy feast years with me. I'll miss purchasing the cans of food every 3 days - but I'll refer every chance I get.

My cats will not eat all Fancy Feast can food but he definitely loves the morsels!!! I have tried several types and I think what he likes about the morsels is it has more gravy. I think they should have more flavors offered in morsels also.

I have two cats with different food preferences. In addition to a high quality dry cat food they get two of the Fancy Feast cans each morning. I have tried better quality canned food but they don't eat as much of the good stuff. Like people, they go for the less healthy stuff. I have followed this regimen for the last 15 years. My cats (both rescues) routinely see the vet for health maintenance and their health is very good.

My cats love Fancy Feast! If I put 2 different brands in front of them, they always go for the Fancy Feast! I don't care if it's a premium brand or a cheap brand. They always pick the Fancy Feast. And the cans are the perfect size.

Some of the grilled variety has large chunks that my cats knock out of the bowl and won't eat. Some of the pate items are dry and stiff with little or no juices. They do like the chicken chunky, but don't lake the flaked varieties. They used to eat the morsels but cannot find those anymore. Unfortunately, the new senior varieties impressed me, but the cats won't eat them.

My cats preferred cans with chunks of fish or uniform solid. Not the cubed as it was harder to digest and they threw it up. It is a little pricey and so was not used as the main source but as a special dinner once or twice a week.

I have two cats that both eat dry food but my older kitty loves both. She only eats the gravy version of Fancy Feast and will sit by her full dry food bowl and look at me until she sees me opening the can. The vet says it is good for her as it adds moisture to her body to hydrate. The multi pack is a great option as well.

It’s about the only canned cat food my cat will eat. She loves the salmon or salmon and crab flavors. We have tried other but the cat food almost seems rubbery and she will not eat it. It is priced comparable to others is really less expensive because I Am not throwing it out and she will eat up to 3 cans per day.

Fancy Feast is made by Purina, one of the only (if not the only) pet food makers that did not have contaminated food years ago. Our fur-babies are Purina, in particular, Fancy Feast junkies. I like the variety of wet and dry foods they offer, full meat blend and meat with vegetable varieties.

My cats love Fancy Feast Cat Food. They will not eat any other cat food. That says it all. I found it by accident. I was looking for another brand of cat food. The store was out. I grabbed four cans of Fancy Feast hoping it would please them for a short term fix. They will only eat since.

My cats love the beef and chicken pate. We feed this food and flavor exclusively. The quality is consistent and the protein content keeps them healthy. They have no health concerns; they are in ideal body condition and their costs look shiny! Plus, it makes feeding 2 cats affordable.

My cats eat this, as opposed to other foods I've tried. The ingredients are high quality, and don't contain a lot of things that shouldn't be there. And there are different "kinds" of flavors and "styles" to keep my cats from getting bored with what they're eating. Recommended.

We switched from a dry food to a protein rich formula to reduce sugars in our diabetic cat. He was recommended to receive 2 insulin shots per day. The change of diet changed the symptoms of the disease, and we did not need to subject our cat to pain that he would not understand.

I feel the consistency of the quality of the food is up there with the high dollar brands and most of all the ash content and crude protein is within a close range of the higher cost alternatives! Fancy Feast is the only food our cat loves to eat also!

I started out with a health food from a local Pet Store but the brand my cat liked was eliminated and he did not care for the other brands they had so I went to a local grocery and found the Fancy Feast which works out just fine for him.

My cat has been eating Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers canned foods for years. It all started (3 months ago) with her throwing up occasionally, then it progressed to every week and then every day, until every meal she was throwing up immediately after eating it. I took her to the vet and she had x-rays and blood work that showed her intestines were inflamed and possible IBD. My vet said to try changing her food before we pursued other options. I stopped the Fancy Feast and she stopped throwing up immediately and it has been a week now. I won't be feeding my cat Fancy Feast again.

I have several senior cats who love Fancy Feast dry and canned food. I sometimes try less expensive cans, but they generally will only eat Fancy Feast. I have been buying this brand for over 20 years and have never had a problem with it. I also like the fact that it comes in the smaller cans so it is just enough and I am not wasting food. After over 20 years, I can highly recommend this product.

My cat has been getting Fancy Feast for many years. When I have tried her on a different brand, she gets sick. She seems to like the variety (except anything fish-weird!). I have been a long term customer and am very satisfied.

My cat really likes Fancy Feast. My cat's vet said it was a good food for him. It seems to have good ingredients. My cat has never vomited after eating Fancy Feast. I think that tells something about it.

I wanted to give my cats the healthiest food possible. I knew the less grain the better and I knew it meant much higher costs. But, I order two different kinds of food and my cats hated both. So the cats won this battle and I am now back to Fancy Feast because they love it. It is low grain and much healthier for them than the average cat food so we are all happy now.

We’ve been giving our cat Fancy Feast food (classic pate) for years and years. But of late, something is wrong with the food. The cat has been vomiting. She has been snubbing the food (beef, liver, salmon) which she never did before. And although I am certainly no expert on cat food, I honestly believe there has been something wrong with it lately. The beef and liver have had an oily odor, and most of the flavors seem to be more watery than I can recall. She seems to like it when it first comes out of the can, but if it sits at all, she won’t touch it. I see a lot of other reviews similar to mine, and I’m concerned. How does this get checked out?

Our 11 year old cat has been eating Fancy Feast wet food his whole life without any issues. He has always been healthy, happy, and very playful. Just recently, he started vomiting aggressively (an abnormal amount), and stopped eating completely both his wet and dry food. It had been over 24 hours since he had any food or water, and his behaviour had gotten very abnormal, we could tell something was wrong. He would sleep all the time and had gotten very very weak. We took him to emergency and he was hospitalized for two nights. They had to put him on IV fluids because he could not eat on his own. The vet suspected either an infection, kidney failure, or worst case lymphoma, and booked him an ultrasound. They put him on antibiotics in case of infection, and the next day he started looking better and eating on his own.

Two weeks ago I bought FF for my 10 soon to be 11 year old cat. She was relatively healthy and never ever showed any signs of sickness. She was always active and never had any underlying conditions when I took her for checkups. Recently I did research online to take better care of my senior cat. Adding water to kibble and adding canned wet food to your cat's diet helps with dehydration and Loss of electrolytes that’s why I bought the FF. I wanted to spoil her just a bit and give her a bit of kibble in the morning with some added water and gave her FF at night. At first everything was fine she loved the white ocean fish in gravy and her absolute absolute favorite was some shrimp flavored one.

I have four cats and they have been eating canned Fancy Feast Pate their entire lives...One is 6, two are 8 and one is 12. Suddenly within the last week none of them will eat....First it was the canned food and now this weekend they won’t at all. They did have some vomiting last week and I thought maybe they had eaten too fast or a hair ball but this doesn’t add up. I went to the pet store and bought five different high quality dry foods. None will even try them. I bought various canned foods and they won’t try them. What is wrong? Taking two to the vet tomorrow morning. Very concerned! Have they poisoned my cats???? Reading all the other reviews why hasn’t there been a recall????

I came here to this website, as I have been researching any issues anyone has been experiencing with Fancy Feast. My big, beautiful, robust, healthy, indoor only cat died this week of acute kidney failure. Never a picky eater, he started throwing up his food before he was hospitalized with acute kidney failure. I've been feeding all my cats Fancy Feast Classic Pate variety for many years, all my cats loved it and would lick their plates clean.

I have been feeding my two cats Purina Fancy Feast Grilled Collection for over a year. The older one has always been finicky about this brand and will only eat the Seafood varieties. She won't even go near the Poultry & Beef. My other cat pretty much wolfs anything down, so he he gets stuck with strictly the Poultry & Beef varieties. In early March, he started to vomit every day. I was away on business and came home to severe sickness. I took him to the vet immediately and after $1,200+ worth of testing they ruled out an internal blockage, kidney issues, infection, etc. But he had lost 2 lbs and was running a fever. They were telling me I might need an ultrasound and to put him under but they couldn't be sure what the real cause was. I was distraught because there seem to be nothing I could do. Plus I didn't want to keep throwing thousands of dollars down the drain without something more concrete to go on.

Started my cat on wet food after 6 month, the only thing she would eat was FF grilled salmon, tuna or turkey nothing else, after 7 years she will now eat other flavours as well. She now comfortably eats about 2.5 cans a day. In 2015 there was a bad batch (about 2 month) of grilled salmon, the cat wouldn't touch and just recently the January 2020 to February 2020 she vomits but then asks for another can straight away. Only vomits if she has more than 3 cans a day. A part from that shes a healthy 16 pounder with no medical problems ever. Sure FF isn't particularly healthy for a cat, but Italian food isn't particularly healthy for human and I'd rather have Italian than vegy/soya burgers and I'm not going to get my cat to ran a marathon. Let them be spoilt.

Last night my nineteen year old cat started vomiting. She had one of the primavera blends. She used to love this food! This morning I noticed that the other cats would not touch the food either. She now has to go the vet as she is very, very ill. I truly hope I do not have to put her down.

My cats are also hooked on this cat food. As of Feb 2020 my cats are throwing it up. They have been on it all their lives because that is all they will eat. They also stopped finishing it. I wish I could find another cat food they would eat. I too have wasted money on many different healthy varieties and they won't eat it. They throw it up within 10 minutes but not every day. I am going to start noting the codes on the cans until I can get them on something else they will eat. Maybe it is a certain processing plant. Yes this stuff smells horrible.

About 4-5 months ago, I noticed all 3 of my cats aren't eating any of their favorite Fancy Feast canned flavors. So I bought more, different flavors thinking they were just getting picky. Then, I noticed a couple of my cats would go outside and vomit right after eating (at this point, they would just lick the gravy and not touch the chicken, seafood, or beef. Grilled Chicken and Cheddar in gravy was their FAVORITE, and now I'm stuck with 4 cases that I wouldn't even throw out for the strays and raccoons! I started smelling every can I opened, and it was AWFUL. SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!

My cats (2) have eaten Fancy Feast for 6 years and loved it. 6 months ago they stopped finishing it. My cats used to gobble it up and now only pick at it. I am stopping immediately although I just purchased a significant amount from Amazon. I was concerned before I read the other reviews and now I am really alarmed. They have changed something in the processing and to blame it on cats being picky is irresponsible. I will be looking for a food that stands by its process and ingredient with honesty.

Three cats are addicted to Fancy Feast. One scratches constantly and I'm told he's allergic to his food. Another vomits. I took her for Xrays and blood work, nothing wrong with her. I keep trying very expensive human grade foods but they won't switch. I read on Petsumer Report about the horrible animal waste parts used in these feed grade foods so I keep trying to switch them off of it. I tried mixing a small part of HOLISTIC with the fancy feast. They won't eat it. What do they put in this fancy feast that makes cats addicted?

Our two 18-month-old cats have eaten Fancy Feast wet food ever since they were 6 months old. Within the past 2 weeks, however, both cats have become very ill. One developed pancreatitis and both have been vomiting and having severe diarrhea. Additionally, they have been refusing to eat their wet food or only eating it when we mix in some kibble treats. Yesterday one of the cats literally picked out the pieces of fresh tuna I had mixed in and avoided all the wet food. I finally realized that the cats aren't the issue. It's Fancy Feast! The amount of time and money we have spent at the animal hospital is incredible, not to mention the stress of having 2 sick cats. I truly believe that this food needs to be recalled, especially after reading the similar experiences of other cat owners. We are switching to a different brand immediately. Please avoid Fancy Feast wet food at all costs!

I've fed my Cat Pippit FF classic Chicken for years, and suddenly she's throwing up Immediately after eating it. This has never happened before, The texture and scent of the food has changed, It's definitely different. She'll be going to the vet today and I'll have her diet changed. I'm disappointed in Purina. I no longer trust their products...

My two senior cats have eaten Fancy Feast Grilled Chicken in Gravy for most of their lives, and have always loved it. Now they won't touch it. Something has changed. I suspect it has to do with the "chicken" as they will sometimes lap up a little gravy out of desperation, but won't touch the meat. I'm thankful they won't eat it, as it seems from the reviews here that many cats are getting very ill after eating it. I am now trying to find another brand of Cat Food. Hopefully there is a company out there that actually cares about our pets, and not just how cheaply they can source the ingredients.

We have 2 cats, 10 yrs and 2 yrs. They have both been fed Fancy Feast canned food for the whole time they have lived with us. We have fed our other cats this food - pate, shredded, with gravy, etc.- for longer. Never any problem until now. Now one refuses to eat it and the other ate and promptly threw up. After looking up for any others who reported problems I found that many had. Purina has disappointed me. I no longer trust their foods for my pet. I am glad my older cat wouldn’t eat it. I have thrown out over 2 cases and purchased other brands. I am looking into making their food, as I now make our dog’s food. Will never trust Fancy Feast again.

I found this site when I searched to see if FF had been recalled. I have been feeding my cats FF pate canned food (various flavors) for over 10 years without issue. I have noticed in the past couple of months that my cats are eating less of the FF food or refusing to eat the canned food altogether. I have also experienced that my cats are throwing up quite often. 2 weeks ago I took one cat to the emergency vet as he threw up for over 24 hours and his wrenching scared me. He was given an injection and improved. I have even had my feral cats refuse to eat the food. Today one of my feral cats refused the food and one ate about 3/4 of it. After reading so many people are having similar issues I am very concerned. The feral who ate the food today is now missing and I am concerned I may have poisoned him with the FF. I too will be reaching out to Purina and the FDA.

My cat is 15 yrs. old. She would only eat Fancy Feast grilled chicken and liver. For about 2 wks now she has progressively stopped eating her food. She would scratch the floor and try to bury it. She will nibble on her dry food and she does drink water. I researched if there was a recall on Fancy Feast and there is not. Then I ran across this! So thankful I did! To think I maybe slowly poisoning my beloved cat is beyond belief! Thank you so much everyone for your life saving posts!

I have a 19 year old cat who has been eating Fancy Feast since she was a kitten. The chicken with liver pate was her favorite. Around a year ago she started vomiting so hard that she would literally fall over. She had terrible diarrhea to the point where she couldn’t control it and she would go all over her back legs. She also lost so much weight. I took her to the vet and she weighed 5 pounds. I changed her cat food to a brand called I Love You. What a difference!!! Immediately there was no more diarrhea and vomiting. It has been about 5 months since I switched and I can honestly say that she is a different cat. She has put weight back on and she seems like her old self again. I feel so guilty because I was literally killing my cat by feeding her Fancy Feast. Stay away from Fancy Feast.

I have 9 cats who have been eating Friskies and FF for many years. I have one cat in particular who will only eat the FF Flaked Fish and Shrimp. I have noticed recently the food is dark and it does not smell normal. She will not eat this food!!! Neither will the other cats. There is something wrong with it. I thought it was perhaps the one case I purchased but unfortunately that is not the case. I called Purina and they said they did not change the ingredients and they offered coupons. I purchased another case and same thing. All dark meat and it smells more like human tuna but with a sickening smell to it. After reading all the reviews here, this is very worrisome.

Hello, I have been feeding my cats Fancy Feast for a couple years, lately they eat and instantly get sick..also had diarrhea! One of my cats have never been sick in his entire 9 years of life until recently.. I thought he was dying! He was hiding.. not wanting to eat, which has NEVER happened before! I know he did not feel well and I found out it is the Fancy Feast canned cat food that I have been feeding them! I found this out by doing some reviews and seeing how many people since November of 2019 until this year January 2020 has had many cats getting sick that have been on Fancy Feast for a while and suddenly there's a change.

I have always used FF can food for my 4 cats for years with no problems until now. One cat is 9 years old and very picky eater. Over the last 8 months with cans dated 2021, the bottom of the cans poof out when you open them and they smell nasty and look brown. It doesn't matter what flavor it is but a can shouldn't poof out like that. I have called Purina and told them what was going on but all they ever did was send me coupons. What good is a coupon if you can't use the food! Something needs to be done so our cats don't get sick anymore. I'm going to call the Food and Drug Administration and have them check this out. Purina needs to take responsibility for the cat food they make for our pets. Now I need to find another can food my picky eaters will eat.

Product CHANGED! On our 3rd pair of felines and used this brand for years. Our Senior cat is 15 and always liked it (she will eat almost anything, lol, she’s a big girl)! She won’t even eat it most days and doesn’t like hard food or tolerate it. Her litter sibling crossed the Rainbow Bridge 2 years ago. He always ate this as well. Our 1 1/2 year old boys stopped eating this now too. All 3 cats have a hard food but used to look forward to this wet food am and pm but now we end up throwing the opened cans out. Have purchased from Target and Amazon and different lots doesn’t make a difference. Even the coloring is weird and gross to me and the liquid has been jelled when we open them. Very disappointed...

My cat, 11 been on Fancy Feast for 10 years no issues. I’m sorry to read of the experiences others are having on here. She’s always happy and playful after her fancy feast meal. I tried the pate for some variety - Ended up Exchanging it - getting older and loves the sauce. Does anyone know if this is available in larger cans? Not the pate variety. Seems like a lot of recycling material if we are trying to save the planet.

My two cats are 3 and 3.5 years old, so relatively young. I fed them classic Fancy Feast from a young age as a treat. The older one (Siamese) stopped eating the grilled varieties after about 6 months and so I switched to only pate, various flavours. Then the Siamese stopped eating all Fancy Feast; he would eat only dry food. The younger one (Ragdoll) continued to eat Fancy Feast. I decided to have him finish all the boxes of Fancy Feast before I tried something new. Expiry dates are still good. But he got tired of eating the last flavour and I purchased a few cans of Fancy Feast medleys brand. Initially he gulped it down. Then he got severe diarrhea and I had to rush him to the vet.

Well it is December 30, and I just figured out why my cats have been so sick, Fancy Feast. Sam's Warehouse suddenly stopped selling it...and then they began again. The Sam's November and newly restocked Fancy Feast made no difference...my cats vomit right afterwards eating it. They had been on it all their lives, so what gives? Now my cats are eating Caesar dog food. Ok. That might be wrong, but they love it and I TRUST that it is healthy. I will never test FF again on my cats, too risky.

Buddy came vomiting profusely out of our feeding room Dec. 17, 2019. He is so sick from FF canned cat food dated June 2021. Precious family member is still suffering after several days in a row of vet emergency care. We don't want to lose our lovable companion due to FF negligence. Several tests of body functions are negative. We are up to $5,000 of vet visit costs and still Buddy is not right. WE have had very little sleep due to this issue taking Buddy to 24/7 ER runs as he is so sickly. Not eating or drinking several days now. I hope FF corp is interested to contact and discuss this horrendous experience we are going through. You purchase a product and it creates a resentful costly issue. What is going to be done for this. There is no way to replace your family pet you enjoy and connect with and endure the suffering and loss of joy we are going through right now.

I have used Fancy Feast wet food for years. Since December 23, 2019, my cats refuse to eat it and have become extremely ill. I have 5 indoor cats and numerous living in my garage but only 1 in the garage gets wet food. She has vomited after she eats hers. Even the outdoor feral cats will not eat it and they eat anything. Something is wrong with this product. My cats eat a variety of flavors from Chunky Chicken to Fish & Shrimp Feast. Today I am taking one to the Vet because she has repeatedly vomited blood. The cats have no exposure to any toxins and/or cleaning products. My indoor and garage cats never go outside! I am posting this just to alert anyone else!

I have 7 cats and have been feeding Fancy Feast for years... Mostly Gravy Lovers and Medleys. Just like the other cat owners here, my cats have recently stopped eating the food they used to like, have started having diarrhea and vomiting and not being very playful. I don't know what's going on, but I definitely am very concerned about what Purina is putting in this food. This just doesn't seem right when your cats turn their noses up at a food they've been eating all their lives and start vomiting. I found this website when I was searching for recall information.

This getting very old. We were feeding our cats Friskies and our cats suddenly began to turn their noses up. It was about the time that it was discovered that the Chinese manufactured cat foods contained melamine as a filler. Melamine, the same product they line the inside of cabinets with?? We reluctantly upgraded to Fancy Feast, problem solved. Pay more money for a smaller can of Purina. Obvious price point issue that moves its way down the supply chain. Now we are sitting on a couple cases of cat food our cats will not eat...again. We are done with this company. Our regulators should be on top of this, but collecting a reliable paycheck and generous guaranteed retirement their only domain. What do we have see...Pets dying on the front pages again for things to change?? Just adding another poisonous filler, that will do the trick. We fed our cat some Sheba this morning. We have fed them Sheba on a number of occasions. Switch to Sheba.

I had recently changed my cats' food over to canned wet food and tried out Fancy Feast. I figured it was a good deal since it was cheaper and affordable for our lifestyle. All 3 of my cats initially loved the canned paté food and after about a month of feeding it to them they suddenly became deathly ill. Like so many other reviewers on here my cats all had constant diarrhea and vomiting for days. This honestly freaked me out and I was in a panic thinking something fatal was gonna happen to my cats. I just threw out about 40 cans of the stuff because it's basically POISONING my cats. Overall I'm so very upset with this company and the absolute lack of care for pets' overall health. I have moved over to the Rachael Ray brand cat food and hopefully my cats will get better after this horrific experience with fancy feast. No one should ever buy this brand of cat food, EVER.

I have fed my cats Fancy Feast for their whole lives (one is 13 years old). One is finicky, the rest not so much. Suddenly, seems like early October, they stopped eating it. I had been buying it at PetCo, and they suddenly stopped selling it. Then replaced it with “fancy feast natural” which they said “met their new standards”. My cats couldn’t stand the stuff” so all the money I spent there was wasted.

My 7 cats have been eating Fancy Feast for several years. Rotating different flavors throughout the week. A couple months ago they suddenly stopped eating their favorite classic chicken flavor. They would take a few bites and leave or snub it completely. Only the canned food addict ate a little. Later I put it outside for the chickens and other critters and nothing ate it. The next morning there was loose stool in the litter box and several places of vomit. They ate the next day's flavor. When chicken came up again same thing only this time some meat bees got into it when it was outside and several died. I quit feeding the ones with chicken. Since then they have started not eating most of the other flavors as well. Unfortunately I am having trouble finding any canned food they will eat now. I don't know what happened to the FF food but my bosses cats quit eating it at this same time.

I have been feeding Fancy Feast for over 5 years. Chicken Feast is their favorite; however, over the past few weeks, two of my cats are refusing to eat it and the one cat that does eat it throws up afterwards (which she never does). I am worried something has happened to the quality of the food and have now found a new brand. Such a shame as my cats really used to enjoy it.

This product has been our preference for over a decade. I've noticed quality issues lately where cans have less dense meat that has a spongey consistency.. The problem is that when it is spongey, there is less food, which means opening a second can. Also, our cats are refusing to eat it. Today, my cat recoiled and looked at me like I was trying to poison it. This is disappointing because our cats are finicky eaters and we now have to find something else that they will like.

I have been using the Fancy Feast classic for the last 4 years. This is because it doesn't contain wheat, corn starch or soy flour as thickening agents or carrageenan which has recently been shown to promote angiogenesis in present tumors. Instead the classic has guar gum. Never the less I have noticed chunks of matter that I estimate to be blood clots. It causes me to assume that it came from even below animal grade for consumption liver. I have been removing it and scraping it out wherever I see it. I sometimes lose 1/4 to 1/3 of the can and need to open another. This and lock step with increased prices.

My cat is 4 years old and I’ve had her for about 2 years. I’ve tried every wet cat food I could find to settle on one they wouldn’t make her throw up after a few tries. I found F F Savory Centers and she loved it and didn’t throw up. I forgot where I bought it and went on a hunt in & near my town to find it again. Let me tell you most stores with pet food do not carry it. Finally found it at Walmart & PetSmart but not all those stores have it. I could have cases shipped to me but they are variety packs and my cat won’t eat beef so I buy individual cans. It’s been about 2 months now and she luvs it & hasn’t thrown up once! One downfall is she’s hungry more often. I think because it’s lighter than most cat foods.

I've been buying Fancy Feast canned food for many years. All my cats enjoyed it and it was conveniently sold in supermarkets. Now they stopped eating it but it's mostly the PATE. They will not touch it. Has Purina changed the formula? Is Fancy Feast made in different factories throughout the USA or is it now made in East Asia? If made in Asia it could contain almost anything - not much factory supervision. Don't know what to do - I'm afraid to give it to my cats anymore.

Just like majority of the reviews here, it made my cat very sick. We decided to try something different and bought some Fancy Feast. Fed him this for a few days before realising how bad it was. He is an outdoor cat so we didn’t see his vomit straight away. He began acting really strange and upset. His meow changed and his coat started to look terrible. Then I saw his vomit and I knew it was the food. We changed it straight away and he is a happy cat again.

My cat is throwing up violently, she looks like she is dazed, she is lethargic, sleeping way too much. All I can say is I have been feeding her Fancy Feast canned cat food for years, but for about a week now, she is not herself, she is throwing up violently, several times a day. She has not eaten or drank water for two days now. Her throw up is usually a watered down pink color. Once or twice today, the throw up is a deep brown color. After reading the bad experiences other people's cats are suffering, with feeding FF canned food, I will be buying a premium cat food for my cat not FF. This is terrible, what is going on Purina? I love my cat, I trusted Purina. I am praying my cat gets better, when I change her cat food..

I’m a pet sitter and many of my clients use all different types of Fancy Feast. I also work with a rescue group. I see cats with all kinds of medical problems from allergies to IBS. One thing I’ve noticed is that most of these cats eat Fancy Feast. It’s especially worse if they eat the Gravy Lovers type. This is made with wheat gluten and gravy. Cats can’t digest wheat gluten. Whenever I see a cat with a poor hair coat they’re eating this. As they get older they start vomiting and eventually get very sick. Most of my clients are educated and have money. I ask myself, why would they feed this poor quality cat food. Would they let their kids live on Twinkies and Captain Crunch if that was all they would eat.

Same negative problems here with mostly the "Medley" portions. My one female cat vomiting Violently from the "Tuna Primavera" (Medley). Thought perhaps it was a bad can, but tried again, same result (same with "Chicken Primavera" - used to love that, but will not touch now - think they know something?!!) - reaction to the "Tuscany" also. Two trips to vet (over $600) for stomach meds and expensive prescriptive bagged foods. By the way, blood tests came back normal. Cat also developed a skin rash which vet attributed to food. Since then, I have had her on "Pro Plan Focus" canned; no issues whatsoever with that. Something radically wrong. And now I see from the reviews how others and their pets are being (sadly) affected by these companies and their inferior products.

Hi, My cat has been on FF most of her life. I always thought paying more for the little cans must mean that the quality is better and I always felt like I was feeding her something good. She's always preferred the classic pates. If I fed her the gravy lovers she only wants to lick the gravy so that doesn't work. Around December of 2018 I had gotten her the beef liver and chicken liver to switch things up a bit. Usually I would only feed her the beef, chicken, or turkey (non-liver). Her face started getting really swollen and puffy. My poor kitty who, although 12yo, has always maintained her kitten face, looked like she aged by about 10 years pretty much over night. She started scratching a lot and getting really itchy. I took her off the livers and it helped a bit but she also started throwing up. I switched to a different brand and she got better and her face has come back some although not completely.

My various cats used to love Fancy Feast and I was feeding it for 20 years. Increasingly In the last two years my cats have been refusing first one type and then another. It started with Turkey Tuscany and then after a few months they refused the chicken Tuscany. Then slowly most of the chicken and turkey they didn’t want, but they would eat the fish types. One of the cats started losing more and more weight and one started vomiting. The vet said he had an allergy to both chicken and turkey. Now they are refusing the tuna. They won’t eat other brands at all and I’m at a complete loss as to what to feed them, They eat a sime of dry food now. I thought it was my picky cats but I see others are having problems.

My diabetic 14 year old cat has improved dramatically since 9/20. Today is the 23rd. So, 48 hours has passed. I switched my cat to much cheaper and much healthier real chicken liver, calves liver, rotisserie chicken and steak (the last two when I eat them). Mostly liver. His abdomen has shrunken dramatically and his eye's look bright in 48 hrs. First day with liver he was hesitant and today, he scarfed it up. I cooked and mixed calves and chicken liver. My other cat warming up more slowly but she has no choice. Stop feeding the canned food to your pets. I think intentionally making them sick. Liver cooks so fast, don't overcook it, and is much cheaper than Fancy Feast... My cats were always hungry with FF. Your pet will come back to life. I had to update.

We have two cats and they have enjoyed Salmon, tuna and chicken servings for a quite a length of time. For whatever reason, they both stopped eating all styles of Fancy Feast. I could see one cat possibly no longer eating one style of FF but both cats choosing not to eat and of their favorites styles at the same time makes me question what, if any, changes have taken place with this brand of cat food. Expiration dates are not a factor. Something does seem amiss.. Question is, do I throw out current inventory or consider donating to local humane society?

My cats have been eating Fancy Feast canned foods on and off (pretty much all varieties) for the past decade. They've been on exclusively Fancy Feast for the past year--both Elegant Medley and originals (sliced, pate, chunky, etc). They only eat chicken or fish flavors--no beef or turkey. I had 5 boxes of canned food delivered from Amazon two weeks ago. They are all 2021 expirations dates (almost all March, April, and May). In the past week, our older cat (16, M) developed constipation, which lead to an anal gland impaction, and ultimately, abscess and infection. Our other cat (9, F) strongly objected to eating most of the new food and soon began to refuse all of it. She threw up some of the food she did eat. She has now also developed constipation and impacted anal glands.

Months ago, I left a review that agreed with all the others who had cats sickened by FF food that they previously craved. Mine had the same symptoms and expensive vet bills but nothing could be determined until I found the reviews from other cat owners feeding FF with the same result. I stopped feeding FF for months and my cats thrived; there were NO more episodes of intestinal distress. After reading the most recent positive reviews, I gave FF another chance, hoping Purina had reverted to their older formula. I purchased a few Medley cans from the pet store, and then a few more from a grocery chain that had a sale price on the Medleys. Unfortunately, although he could tolerate the food at times, at other times, he would have diarrhea and vomiting right after feeding. When I was packing the food to return to the stores, I noticed that cans of the same flavor had different colors of tops and bottoms, but the same barcode for all of them.

I started using Fancy Feast Poultry and Beef classics about a year ago. Previously they were eating the chicken feast classic pate with no issues but seemed to get bored with it. Within the past 6 months or so, 2 of the cats were having random issues with throwing up their food immediately after eating. I had attributed it to possibly eating too fast or maybe having a fur ball.

I searched "is Fancy Feast poisonous?” because of how much BOTH of my cats have been puking immediately after eating it recently. It can NOT be coincidental, and I'm growing very worried that there could be a serious problem (like one years ago involving Giant Food store brand and others that had far more serious repercussions). My cats are my kids - 10 and 11 years old - and are/WERE healthy before they suddenly started this bout of 'eat and puke' recently. I think they are okay the rest of the time, except that one keeps meowing for more food, probably because she didn't really keep any down. The other comes back later to munch Purina Pro ‘crunchies’ and seems to be getting a complete aversion to FF. Also, both of them have refused to eat FF a bunch of times recently - flavors they previously wolfed down.

Have just read a large number of reviews of the FF cat food range. For at least 2 years my 8 year old cat would only eat the Chicken Provencal variety. He had been eating less and less, then Wednesday evening was ill, vomiting, which he had never done before. This continued until 5am the following morning. The only other food he consumes is a Hills Science dry food. Since stopping FF and just giving him the dry food and boiled, filtered water he has improved dramatically.

Both of my cats are 10 1/2 yrs old and have been eating Fancy Feast all their lives. I started noticing in the past yr. that the female starting vomiting several times a week after eating but thought that maybe it was because she eats very fast and even tries to eat her brother's food. But in the past month or so, it started getting more frequent and her brother started vomiting too. This past week was the worse. Yesterday morning when I got up there were 8 different places of vomit and it was food. I was very upset to say the least. Even the male cat turned was from the dish of food I put in front of him and it was his favorite flavor. I was ready to take them both to the vet and it finally dawned on me that it has to be the food.

Do not buy Fancy Feast. I’m so disappointed. My cat vomits and we had no idea why or what was wrong with her but not it is clearly FF and we will never buy this again. I usually Feed her the gravy ones and she now doesn’t eat all of it and that is when I realized something was wrong.. She used to love eating FF and now she takes her time Eating it and she vomits.

We went through a tough time with our two cats being sick @ the same time. They were put on two different antibiotics. To no avail. Finally, they were put on ** and they recovered. We were concerned it was Fancy Feast canned food that had caused the problem. But, we had no solid proof. Since that is the food they like, we threw out the cases of Fancy Food we had stored and bought new cans.

My cat has been given FF Medleys cans with the garden greens for a few years now. It alternate foods because YES batches can be poison. My other cat was poisoned by a bad batch of Rachel Ray can food which they responded to very professional. So never give the same kind only. My cat has become crazed about these FF Medleys. Like an addiction. Kept getting worse. He does not want to eat anything else. He used to only want dry food, strange cat, but now he only wants FF Medleys cans with garden greens. He constantly badgers me to eat more and more. He also started sneezing when he would go to eat, and the way he gobbled it so fast, I thought he was inhaling it. I have tried to mix in other varieties and he won't eat them, or eats some and then bugs me for FF. So I went cold turkey and stopped all FF.

Vet said many cats have underlying chronic pancreatitis and may not show signs for a long time. My K. Seurat has done the shivering thing (pain) on occasion for 5 years. Worried it was something but vets dismissed it. How horrible to think I was causing the pain and pancreatitis with the food giving her. Read wellness core and Weluva better choice. For now just trying to get my poor Seurat better with low dose steroids (don't need diabetes to develop!) and nausea meds.

After eating only one can of Fancy Feast cat food, my cat also got deathly sick. She had diarrhea in the middle of the night. We had to give her a warm bath at 2 am because she had poop all over her belly. She was screaming and cringing in pain. How many complaints does Fancy Feast need to recall this poison cat food? There must be a bad batch out there!

I keep hearing all these bad things and reading bad reviews, but my ten cats ranging from 2 to 18 years have been eating FF Classic pate all their lives and they are thriving on it. If that ever changes I will let you all know.

I bought this for my cat on a whim. It was on sell, thought I would buy my two cats something different. My one cat he turned his nose up on it. My other cat she ate it. Now she's been throwing up diarrhea. Just very sick. I have appt to take her to the vet. She was up playing with the other cat. Laying next to me. Now she's sleeping under the bed, barely drinking any water. Every time she tries to eat she throws it right back up. I wish I had read reviews before I had bought this. I might lose her.

Add me to the list of those with cats having similar vomiting experiences. Have used FF Classics for years. Have received great feedback from vets on it too. Before FF Classics I would feed a mix of dry and other wet food to my (then) five cats. One cat became diabetic and after much research, I put her on a strict diet of FF Classics which helped me get my cat into remission. I decided then to stop all dry and put all five cats on FF Classics. I'm now down to two cats (one is 18 and the former diabetic). One will no longer touch the FF Classic so I had to change her diet.

ALERT: Opened a can of FF Fish & Shrimp Feast, Flaked, last week and there was, not visible on the top, a green, white, and blue growth that must have been inside the can since it had been manufactured! Now my story: Began feeding Tiger FF "Flaked" type of canned food a few weeks ago. Bought all four varieties hoping to find one that he would really like. He was ok with the Tuna and the Trout; not so much the Chicken & Tuna. But boy, did he love the Fish & Shrimp! He ate his normal portion and always wanted more. But then he began to throw up every once in awhile. And then the real problem became his diarrhea, with a smell most foul. No more FF for us!

I have two cats that have just turned about two years old and they have been very healthy. In the last couple of weeks I subconsciously noticed a vomit here or there which was very unusual because my cats never vomit. My hairy cat has vomited a hairball only twice since he’s been born. I thought maybe it’s summer and he’s licking himself more and shedding, but the newer vomit doesn’t really contain hairballs. Then suddenly this week they have been vomiting three times a day and diarrhea every single time, and in my bathroom sink and tub like they are trying to tell me something. There’s several occasions every day. And they seemed so skinny and hair was not shiny and healthy looking like it usually is. They seemed dehydrated and lethargic.

I have always given my cat a can of FF Gravy Lovers as a treat. I did he subscribe and save through Amazon at the end of last year and had a horrible experience with it. She was starting to throw up shortly after consuming it and I thought must be amazon and poor quality batch. I waited and kept her on her usual dry food as she got better. I went to the grocery store April and got my cat the beef feast. Same thing happened. This time the vomiting progressed to bile, lethargy, hiding, diarrhea. She displayed bumps/rashes around head/ears/neck.

When I read reviews on FF making cats sick a while back some mentioned that the cans had a round pull tab. I believe FF is manufactured in different facilities. I bought FF from a place here in Canada and noticed the pull tabs were round so I took them back. I only buy the square type pull tabs since I read the reviews. I haven't had a problem with cats throwing up or diarrhea.

After feeding my cats ate the new Fancy Feast Gourmet Natural wet canned food, a few hours later, all 5 cats began vomiting and later had diarrhea!! This food need to be recalled immediately!!! Thumbs down!

I have always fed my cats Fancy Feast. Now they walk away. After reading all these reviews I can see something's up. Our pets are family. If this company has changed to something that cats won't eat I am throwing what I have just bought out. This has made my decision very easy.

My cat has been active and healthy for her age, then started vomiting and diarrhea and we thought it was a bug for a couple days, but now she is extremely lethargic and will not eat or drink or even hold her head up. We just thought it was old age that suddenly was taking her from us until I started reading these reviews and this is what we feed her. I am heartbroken. Is this food laced with poison or what?? Shame on Fancy Feast. I will keep all the cans of food we have and find out how to test them. It is 10:44 PM on 7-11-2019 and my poor little cat is near death. If she makes it through the night, we will have her at the vet in the AM.

Wow, I knew something was up and thought I'd send a note to Purina, but this is serious. Have fed over 15 cats during the years all on Classic. Currently have 7 and they've all walked away from it... I was able to find some with a 'best by date of 2020' which seems to be OK and they ate it. But anything with a '2021 or 2024' date is just going down the garbage disposal. It smells bad to me and it is much 'darker' than the previous FF Classic. SO, something has changed but getting Purina to admit what changed will be a challenge. Hope my post helps... Going back to Friskie's Pate which they will eat.

My 4 cats have been raised on Fancy Feast since they were kittens. It was the only food they would eat (we tried them all). Starting about a month ago they started walking away from it after sniffing. We tried different flavors thinking they were just being finicky. When they got hungry enough, they reluctantly ate it. Then the puking and diarrhea started. It was constant. Had to take one kitty in for daily fluid treatments. The past 2 weeks have been hell at our house, and I've spent nearly $2000 to this point. We had no idea what was going on, until we found this thread. Vet advised to stop Fancy Feast, kitties are now on prescription food, when they eat. They are lethargic and have obvious digestive distress. Please voluntarily recall this food until you figure out what's happening!!!!

Since they were little, they are now two and three years old, all five of my cats of been able to eat Fancy Feast but like the reviews below, mine are now sick! They have vomited up every time they ate it. I am asking for a refund from Amazon. Please, Fancy Feast, take this off your shelves! it is not healthy for cats!

My 18 year old cat has eaten Fancy Feast Classic varieties (mostly Turkey & Giblet because of a chicken sensitivity and a fish sensitivity) and has loved it his whole life. I also have a four year old cat with a big appetite. In the last few months, I have noticed a strong smell with the Turkey & Giblets variety. The consistency also has varied from lot to lot, but the strong smell is common to all lots. I inquired about a change in formula, as the ingredients appeared to be the same- was told nothing has changed. But both cats gradually ate less and less of it, even my 4 year old who loves to eat. I also feed grain free dry food and switch brands of wet food during the week, so I thought maybe it was them being finicky. When they started refusing it, I knew I had to use my instinct, because of the strong smell, and dig deeper.

Sick cat since Jan 2018..weight lost, high liver enzymes and lump in the liver found during ultrasound mid 2018 and now my other cat has joined in with puking. UGh! Fancy Feast has been all 4 cats favorite until I read this news feed. I quit FF and all Purina brand food on Friday and have begun Bear's journey of cooked food. It's been 3 days and 2 mild throw ups, instead of 5 puke ups by now. I will chalk this up at forward movement. Look up raw cooking recipes.

They all vomited the food. They didn't want to eat it anymore after 1 week of eating the food. 1 of them got really sick still vomiting and having black stool and now not eating much and not drinking water, this is still happening 3 days after eating the food. We are taking him to the vet. And we have stopped feeding our cats the food and no longer purchasing this brand anymore. I wrote a report at Costco and they said they will send the report I made to Fancy Feast.

We have 4 cats and slowly they have started turning their nose up to it and one has been in and out of vet with kidney problems and low white blood count. So between yesterday and today all 4 have had volatile throwing up so I started researching and I am so upset! Why haven't they recalled this food! Everyone has the same complaint! I will never use Purina again! If Something happens to one of my babies I will sue! Please people do not feed your animals Purina and spread the word!

I buy Fancy Feast classic pate by the case and my cats have been eating it just fine for the past few years. It was manufactured in the good old USA. Just recently, they started eating less, walking up to the plate, smelling it, then walking away. I noticed that the food is now being manufactured in France and the ingredients are a little different. I contacted Purina and was told just certain "grilled" varieties were being manufactured there. They sent me some coupons to console me. Not sure what I'm going to try to feed them now.

My cats began turning their noses up at FF a few years ago. One has irritable bowel syndrome and has reacted violently to some varieties. But they also turn their noses up at other brands, so it's a problem. Sometimes I will just do anything so they'll eat, like feed them FF when I know it's not a healthy choice. But it used to be ok!!! My cat with IBS (16 yo) was recently hospitalized with pancreatitis. Doc wasn't sure she'd make it, but five days later, she started eating again and seems to be okay, thank goodness. Don't know if it was food or something else, but the problem began immediately after she ate FF tuna and threw it all up.

The FF chicken classic pate that were made from France are different than those made in the U.S.A. in both appearance and formulation. Go ahead to compare the labels. Those made in France has less chicken, more inorganic impurities, less Calories. My cat needs to consume 202 kcal/day. This calculation was based on the cans made in the U.S. At first, I thought all FF made in the U.S. with the same specifications, I didn't know that those made from France contains 10% less stuff and has different components and composition. As a result, I underfed my cat for 1.5 months before I notice the products were different. Why it is so hard to see it, because they use the same color label, same container size and design. Unless you read the fine print, you wouldn't notice it.

Our geriatric cat is currently in a very bad state. It is easy to blame problems on age, and as it happened she was just due for another 6 month exam anyway, so I figured, "Well, it's finally the kidneys and it's time to start a fluids routine". Except it wasn't and her labs were really surprising decent -- except for her liver which is suddenly in bad shape. We have safe plants and such and, no, I do not believe she ate some random poison in our home environment. She was fine Thursday as ever, as a geriatric cat goes, until we restocked her Fancy Feast Thursday and she blew her first can Friday morning and went into the foaming heaves and refuses to eat and is hiding in a "I'm in pain, leave me alone hiding place." It is hard not to be suspicious that that restocked Fancy Feast was the variable that changed. I think this thread may on to something similar to the melamine fiasco of Purina's that killed so many dogs and it chills me.

I have fed my cats Fancy Feast wet cat food for years and they stopped wanting to eat it. I thought it smelled strange. And then one suddenly died and the others acted like they didn't feel well. Stopped giving it to them. I am so worried and I will not give them any wet food of any kind. Only Rachael Ray dry food. I will file a claim. The loss of my little girl Sissy Poo was devastating like losing a child.

Please read! Please do not give your kitty Fancy Feast food! My cat has eaten Fancy Feast dry and wet food for a long time. Last year he started throwing up increasingly (almost daily!) and I have taken him to 2 different veterinarians for help. The first vet did not have any answers as to why he was puking up food almost daily. The second vet was positive hairballs were the cause. I finally switched out his dry food from Fancy Feast (Chicken & Turkey and Filet Mignon & Seafood) to another brand. That next day, no puking. He has not puked for 6 days now and I know the dry food was the problem. All other items in his diet remained the same. I am not buying Fancy Feast or another else owned by Purina again. Please folks, do not feed this stuff to your cats!

I have a 13 yr. old female cat who have been eating a variety of Fancy Feast cat food all of her life. In the last 4 to 5 months she has been throwing up. At first I thought it was just hairballs. I just took her to the vet this week and found her white blood count is down to 300. Normal range should be 1200-3000. She went from energetic to lethargic in two weeks time. She has lost 2.25 lbs since Dec.2018 which is a lot for a cat to lose in that short amount of time. The vet mentioned possible kidney failure. I have copied all of the reviews to bring to my vet. I only wish I read these reviews sooner. I trusted your cat food for over 20 yrs. as I had fed my previous babies the same food. I am so worried about my baby. I will be in contact with Purina. You should have made this public long ago.

My cats have been eating FF for over 13 years.. last year something changed (read article about chicken formula changed) but they don’t eat that flavor. The past few months found out my male cat has kidney disease and my female will only eat hard food. If either one did eat FF, they ran to the litter box immediately! I switched to Wellness no grain and also Nulo no grain, which they will eat if sprinkled with freeze dried salmon. I am so sorry pet parents have lost their treasured pets due to the greed of this company. I will NEVER buy a Purina (Mars?) product again. This Fancy Feast food is tainted with something awful and needs to be RECALLED!

I wish I had known about Fancy Feast cat food poisoning our cats. My baby Lulu is in very bad shape right now. She is 13 years old and had been eating Fancy Feast pate wet food most of her life. Within last year, she began throwing up more often, and lately, she wasn't finishing most of her food. Suddenly, she can hardly walk, won't eat, and is lethargic. She has been totally checked out and my vets cannot tell me what is wrong with her. After trying different meds, she is still just wasting away, barely able to walk. I am so saddened and depressed. They cannot tell me why this happening to her. I feel I will be losing my baby.

Have been feeding my 4 cats Fancy Feast for years and had no problem. Now when they eat the Chicken Florentine they throw up. And the same goes for some of the other flavors. Very concerned about this. I am throwing out the remainder of the cans.

In Feb 2019 my cat vomited after eating FF Chicken Florentine. Unusual for her to be sick. I threw that can away but had the same result with another can. Since then she will eat the gravy but often leaves the solid pieces. The contents of the cans appears darker, grayer than it used to be. Having read the experience of so many others, I will not feed her FF canned food again.

Fancy Feast used to be one of the better foods as it has low carbohydrate and it helped me w/ feline diabetes. I became a detective reading labels due to FD. I was appalled by the changes to Fancy Feast's formula. The first was the addition of nitrates to their Salmon. Then they started using wheat gluten in place of meat. Nitrates in more flavors. I thought the only safe flavors left were Turkey and Giblets and Chicken and liver. My cat began to refuse to eat it. We did not suspect the food, until I read what others have experienced. We lost our beloved cat which nothing can ever replace. Purina should be ashamed going after a dollar instead of supplying food we can trust to give these members of our family.

My cats -8 have been eating classic beef and chicken and cheddar Fancy Feast. The last 5 months they won’t eat it. I’ve bought it at Petco, Amazon, Chewy and filed complaints but Purina has done nothing. The companies have all said no one has complained. It’s simply NOT true. And Purina has done absolutely NOTHING about it. I want to feed them healthier food and have been buying many others but they won’t eat it. I am at my wit's end. Can anyone recommend other foods their cats will eat?? I would appreciate any/all suggestions.

I have been purchasing this product for years. In the past several months I noticed the quality of the product is not the same. All 3 of my cats got sick, throwing up and lethargic after eating this product. I opened another pack from the same package and it smells bad. As humans we aren't supposed to eat fish of any kind if it has an "off" smell. Every pack of the Fancy Feast broths was very stinky and looked darker than it should. Thankfully my cats recovered. However, cats have very sensitive systems and enzyme in raw fish destroys thiamine, which is an essential B vitamin for your cat. A lack of thiamine can cause serious neurological problems and lead to convulsions and coma. I will never purchase this product or any Fancy Feast product again.

Hi, I am a caregiver for a 73 yr old man who is an owner of a 9 yr old Maine Coon female cat. Recently, she started turning her nose up to the Fancy Feast cat food, which she previously loved. Today she vomited and the cleaning lady said it did not look like a hairball - just the food she had just eaten. I said, “I bet it must be the cat food.” So I looked online and saw all these horrible reviews and now what I suspected to be the case MUST be true. This product MUST BE RECALLED. I am grateful ShopRite will allow an exchange for a different cat food. It needs to be pulled from the shelves ASAP! Thanks to all who took the time to post this!

I have 2 cats 6 years and 5 years, they both have been on a non grain dry food and the wet cans of Fancy Feast for all of their lives. Recently they will not touch any of the Fancy Feast wet food. My youngest was throwing up quite often after he would eat a couple of bites. My oldest won't even try to eat it. She smells it and walks away. They always loved it before, so I don't know what happened. After reading these reviews, I am now convinced that it is the food that is bad. I am going to throw all of the remaining cans that I have out and start to feed them something else. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good wet canned food?

I have been feeding my (picky eaters) indoor rescue cats Fancy Feast cat food for the past 9 years. They have always been healthy active cats with no health problems. A couple weeks ago my local pet store pulled FF from their shelves and had signs up saying they would no longer be selling FF brand cat food. I asked the employee and they said something about preservatives making cats sick. I honestly didn’t think much of it. Like others on here giving 5 star reviews I trusted FF as I had been feeding it to my cats their entire lives. I went to a different store and got a box of FF.

I thought my two babies were throwing up due to hairballs, but I changed to Friskies extra gravy and they don't throw up. My girls are 7 and 8 years old and ate Fancy Feast all their lives. I'm so glad that Fancy Feast increased their prices so I would look for something better! They are a lot healthier with this change, I wish I would of known years ago!

I started feeding this food to my 12 year old Maine Coon sometime in 2017 and she loved it. I noticed in the summer of 2018 she started losing a lot of weight and was beginning to vomit a lot. I tried switching her food but she would only eat the FF. By January of 2019, the vomiting became almost daily and would always start about 30 minutes after eating and she started to grow more and more lethargic.

Michele of Landing, NJ ... I read your post. What kind of antibiotic was your cat on? My cat hasn't eaten in a week and is throwing up. I Googled the food he's eating and found this discussion. My cat is currently in the hospital on IV fluids and still not eating. He has fluid in his lungs and air in his intestines. His TP, Glob and Alt are all high. They will take another x-ray today. I want to post this to raise awareness that there is something going on with PURINA FANCY FEAST can cat food. Someone in work going through the same issue with her friend's cat. They changed the label from a darker pink to a lighter pink recently. THIS FOOD NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

I started reading these reviews, I was stunned to see that everyone I read had or is having the same experiences that I am having. Mine started in October 2018. Rapid weight loss, turning away from eating the wet food, vomiting. I have been to the vets since Oct., having blood work, urine and fecal tests. Had x-rays and even a sonogram done, and they could not find anything. The one vet mentioned that some food is using more fillers and cats cannot digest thus making them sick. I have been in the process of trying to change gradually foods, but it’s heartbreaking. My little guy is literally wasting away. I hug him, cradle him and cry.

I'm sick & tired of Fancy Feast. I purchased a 24 count Box from Sam's and my cats are throwing up every day I feed it to them. I feel so sorry for them. When I feed them canned tuna or another brand, they are fine. But as soon as I try a different type of Fancy Feast, they get sick. I'll never purchase your product again. You can make all the excuses you like, but you are poisoning our cats. Your FANCY packaging is a FRONT. You should put cross-bones on the BOX.

My cat is a diabetic and my vet said the only foods she could eat are Fancy Feast Classic and Friskies Pate. She has been vomiting and having diarrhea and also will walk away from the foods she has always loved! I took her to the vet to see if her diabetes was causing any of this and she was tested and her diabetes is completely under control so we figure it must be the food! Not good! I depend on these foods for her as the high cost of special foods and also the fact that I did try the specialty food and she hates it. Now what do I do?

I am distressed about this apparent issue with Fancy Feast canned wet food making cats sick. My poor baby! She has been eating FF all her life and is finicky. She has been vomiting approx 20 minutes after eating She used to love feeding time Twice a day. Now she has been turning the plate over in protest. I went to the store to buy her favorites and found they were pulled from the shelves (gravy ones). So I thought, "Ok so this food has been causing her being sick." I bought other kinds including Selects and Grilled. I just got home opened a can. She ate a bit and less than a half hour heard her pained meowing followed by vomiting yet AGAIN. WHATEVER IS HAPPENING GET ON THIS FAST. I hope all our kitties are ok and feel better soon. I have taken note of the other complaints and the dates are in line with my experiences and my sweet girls not feeling well. This cat is my family member. Make it right!

My cat has been eating Fancy Feast pretty much her whole life but lately has been getting sick after eating. I contacted Purina Australia and apparently they have had to source some products from France and coincidentally, these cans produced in France are the ones making my cat sick. I won't be buying Fancy Feast or any other Purina products again as I have lost all faith in them.

I wrote to Purina about my cats getting sick and throwing up eating Fancy Feast. Their reply this was an uncommon occurrence... I see it's all lies after reading all the reviews. This is an American company that has their food processed in Thailand. Read reviews about pet food made in Thailand. The label says fit for human consumption and pets are dying! All companies seem to be going this route. And another thing... Don't buy pet food from Amazon... The food is counterfeit! I have had to return cases of food... Weruva and Fancy Feast. The last item I returned was Fancy Feast Fillets which is suppose to be 100% chicken, tuna and salmon. My cats threw up for two days and would not touch it... Yikes! Please read the labels and buy USA PRODUCTS. Other countries are not regulated with food products requirements as in the USA.

Vomiting and Ocean Whitefish and Tuna classic pate. I have been using Ocean Whitefish and Tuna classic pate for years. One of my cats has digestive issues and it's the only one that works. Now, some of the cans are browner and are making my cats sick. I have 3 cats that eat it and use 5 cans a day. I just called Purina and they said they haven't changed the formula. Any ideas? One of my cats won't eat anything else.

We adopted a 14-yr old cat who is extremely finicky. She will only eat Fancy Feast Pate. Since January 2019 she has been throwing up daily. I have found pieces of rubber and other unidentifiable things in it. This is not a cat who will just chew on anything. I’m convinced it’s in the food.

I've been feeding my cats Fancy Feast Classic Chicken pate for years. I've tried premium brands of cat food, but my cats won't touch it, so FF Classic Chicken has been a go-to. However, within the last 2 months or so, like others here, my cats haven't finished it, and the one cat who basically eats everything has vomited profusely within hours of eating it. She was so sick the last time that we thought we'd have to take her to the vet. I switched them to another food, and the vomiting stopped, almost immediately. Something has gone wrong with Fancy Feast.

I have been feeding my cats Fancy Feast wet food for years and years. I have 5 cats now, so I decided to save a little money and start buying the 30-can pate (Beef & Poultry) and Seafood Feast. I have not tried the Seafood Feast, but my cats will suddenly not touch the Beef & Poultry except for one cat who will eat anything. That cat just vomited up her food a few minutes ago, and it was enough to get me to come out here and check some reviews. Amazing... so many people having similar issues recently.

My cats have eaten the FF Pate flavors for years but for the past couple of months they have not been finishing it when they normally clean the plates and they have been throwing up, sometime immediately after taking a few bites. I buy the 24 can box and yesterday got to the beef flavor and 2 of my cats backed away from their food and would not touch it. My latest rescue cat who eats everything took a couple of bites of his and then walked away, crying to me. I opened 3 more cans of this same flavor and they would walk up and smell it and walk away. It looked ok and did not smell spoiled but I knew something was wrong.

My cat had pushed the half eaten can back in the closet, when I found it there was lots of black hair growing out of the can. I did learn that it was probably pig hair. Can anyone explain this or have others had this experience?

In fall of 2018, my cat began to exhibit signs of sickness. About a month earlier, he began to refuse to eat his dry food and therefore would only eat Fancy Feast exclusively. Over the course of October, November and December of 2018, he grew to be more and more sick. When I took him to the vet, they could not determine what was wrong with him. He was losing tons of weight, developed allergies on his skin, and grew to be very discontent. Sometimes, he would just stand in one place for hours staring off at the wall. He seemed very out of it. His behavior continued to change and he grew more and more weak.
