WHISKAS Purrfectly FISH Oceanfish Entree Cat Food Review

As I've said before in other AC articles, I'm a cat owner/lover. I like to try out new products and give my cats different food from time to time so they don't get bored. Sometimes, it's my cat, not me, the owner, who decides when it's time to get another brand of cat food. My cat Sweet Pea is old, has very few teeth left and is very, very, finicky. She often gobbles down one brand of cat food for breakfast. Then, refuses it at lunchtime. When Sweet Pea refuses to eat cat food, I open up a can of tuna. She usually accepts that. That's why I was so excited to try this new food. Here's my WHISKAS® Purrfectly FISH™ Oceanfish Entree Cat Food Review!

The Cat Food Recall

Just like the Purina Friskies Signature Blend Dry Cat Food my felines and I recently reviewed, WHISKAS was not a part of the nationwide pet food recall a few months back. That made me feel better about the product right away.

Product Description

These WHISKAS entrees are single-serve pouches of wet cat food. I like the idea of not having to use a spoon to serve it. Although, you really need to use a spoon or roll the pouch down like a tube of toothpaste to get the remainder out. I also like the convenience of a pouch as opposed to a metal can I have to rinse, store and recycle.

I chose the Oceanfish Entree to start with. I was pleased to find out this product also comes in Tuna Entree, Tuna & Whitefish Entree, Oceanfish Entree and Sardine & Mackerel Entree. That way, my cats won't get bored with one flavor.

According to the back of each pouch, it reads, "WHISKAS Purrfectly FISH Oceanfish Entree is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for Maintenance." Okay, that sounds good. This product is also described as being "cat-pleasing." It's "real food" that will make your cat "happy." So, I wondered, what's in this stuff that makes it so tasty and healthy for my felines? Without boring you with all the ingredients, I'll tell you what the first four ingredients are: "Sufficient Water for Processing, Sardines, Mackerel, Soy Oil." I was even more impressed.

The Price

At my local Kroger grocery, the WHISKAS Purrfectly FISH Oceanfish Entree cat food is available in single packs or a ten-pack box. I think the singles were 59 or 69 cents each. The boxes cost $4.79 each; definitely more economical at 47.9 cents per pack.

The Taste Test

My finicky cat Sweet Pea prefers juicy wet-cat food instead of the drier types. I opened the pouch, looked inside and saw chunks of fish in a sauce. I placed some in her bowl, and she chowed it right down. Success! One pouch is considered a serving for the average adult cat. However, Sweet Pea eats only a half pouch of wet food at a time. So, I saved the rest for the next meal. Of course, she turned her nose up at it. That's how she is. So I tried the WHISKAS Purrfectly FISH Oceanfish Entree cat food on the rest of my cats. They all slurped it down without hesitation. That proved it's a good flavor and a tasty winner.

Conclusion

Will I buy this product again for my felines? You bet! I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
