Wow, after reading these comments I am feeling like my experience makes sense. I have a 20 year old cat who is generally in excellent health other than being kinda skinny (says my vet). I’ve been feeding him frisks wet food for years because it’s the only thing he likes to eat. For the past couple of months, he has been having terrible smelling stools and now he has been having diarrhea. I switch his food and it normalized. Switched it back and diarrhea returned. I called Purina and asked if they had been having issues with their wet food or if they had changed anything and they said all they changed was that there is no food colouring now. After reading the timing of all of these other reviews, I am starting to wonder if they shifted something in their production (ie. sourcing their meat from different places). Honestly, my “conspiracy theory” is to wonder if they are using all of the poultry that was culled due to bird flu in the USA. Anyways, I think I am just going to stay away from this stuff from now on. My only concern is that I have a very picky eater and I hope I can find something to keep this old guy happy and healthy. Friskies is NOT it.

In reply to Carolyn Gordon. I personally would not feed either of those. I only feed WSAVA brands.

In reply to Kylie lopez. Purina is a WSAVA brand. They have the longest running food trials of all the brands. WSAVA brands for cats are IAMS, Purina, Science Diet, Royal Canin. That’s all I’ll feed.

Friskies is made by Purina. That’s a WSAVA brand and I would have no problems feeding it.

In reply to Linda.

I put the dry catfood in a bowl,soften it with hot water then use a hand held potato masher,works great.
I have 17 cats most are seniors,I take 7 to 8 can of cat food put them in a big bowl add water little at a time and make it soupy,then I pour the soup in 2 big butter containers.I mix it with a hand immerser,but before I put the soup in the butter containers I use a mesh strainer as I pour the soup because riskiest has alot of hard sharp pieces and I don’t want my cats hurting there gums and stomache.
The containers last 3 to 4 days in the fridge.I take a 4 cup measuring glass and pour the soup in it,warm it up in microwave to room temperature and pour it on plates every evening they lap it up.I do that to keep them hydrated and so they don’t get blocked or crystals.
I have to soften dry catfood,I use Purina indoor hair ball weight,it’s small pieces,soften it then use potato masher or leave them as they are.I have 17 cars,most are seniors and all can’t eat hard food like they use to.i put hard catfood down a couple times a day for the ones who want it but a couple of my cats have got UTIs lately so I don’t like them just having the hard food down all the time like I use to.and try to give them as much moisture that I can afford

I have 3 feral cats now that I feed. Jesse has been here for 11 years,and that means it is his 11th winter! He has been fed Friskies Pate all these years. They all liked it. BUT SINCE THE LABEL CHANGED ,they stopped eating some of the choices. Obviously they degraded the recipes. I am now looking for another brand…not Purina.
