    I have purchased Friskies Salmon Pate for my cat for years. Now, he won't go near it. The product looks DARK and does not resemble what it used to look like at all.

    I've been feeding Friskies for about 4 years and now the last 2 months the food quality is not good. The last two weeks the food is showing rancid food. Cats won't eat after opening. Has killed 3 of my cats so far. Have 3 more sick.

      ZERO STAR REVIEW. We give our cat seafood supreme pate and salmon dinner pate in which that’s the only kinds she will eat. She smells it and walks away. She is 11 years old so she have always eaten this. We discovered Purina have changed the mix, plus more. Looks like Purina went to a cheaper way so now they will lose many customers, if not all. Shame!

      I'm afraid the redesigned cat food is a step backwards. You're about to lose a 40 year customer because of the new blend. At 90 cents a can and most of my cats no longer eat it. I have tried all of the old favorites and they are all changed for the worst.

      Lot 1161 Friskies meaty bits gave my cat terrible diarrhea and after reading these reviews, going all the way back to 2019 and older, this location appears to be known for food poisoning. I'm glad I have only given him 1 can. He's 9 and never had issues with any food ever. I'm so upset.

      I JUST bought a 60 can box of Friskies at Costco a few days ago. It was called a Club Mix box of pate with ten of the cans being called Glaz'd & Infuz'd and my cats HATED IT. They would not touch it once they smelled it. I then took those ten cans that were unusable at my own house and tried to give them to the cats at my parents house. Again they would not touch this food. I took the remaining eight cans to a feral cat colony behind my local market and they wouldn't touch it either. I paid $43.99 for this box because I mistakenly thought it was a good buy. IT WAS NOT if NO CATS WILL EAT IT. I feel ripped off. I can't return it either, so I will use the rest of the cans and never buy this "Club Mix" again. Very unhappy since I really couldn't afford to waste any. Those eight left over cans had to be thrown in the garbage!

      Patch number 1161 on the bottom of the can is bad. One cat emergency vet visit cost $700.00, other cats refuse to eat it. Two cats are vomiting, three cats have diarrhea and vomiting. Disposing of cans and taking rest back to Costco. Hope my cats get better, shame on Purina for allowing this to happen. If any of my cats die from this I will be suing Purina.

      All of the Friskies is marked down at Pet Smart on 82nd in Portland. I should have known. Two cats have severe diarrhea and vomiting. Have to take the senior cat to the vet. I always buy Friskies wet, both the Pate and the Prime Filets. Never again. The person at Pet Smart said the sale was because Friskies is changing their recipe. I hope my cat makes it. I see a lot of people from Oregon with recent complaints. This is concerning.

      I've been a loyal customer for over a decade. I found foreign Material in my can of Pate. Contacted customer service via phone Monday, since every email address suggested didn't go through, prior to. I finally received an email, after contacting again via phone. However, the pictures didn't go through. I sent again to the gentleman only to receive the attached. Email address NOT located. It seems their position is we're too big and every site won't upload photos to support your concerns. I found a piece of plastic and a rock or pebble. Please find attached.
