Fancy Feast Flaked Fish & Shrimp Feast
- Easy to find
- Good ingredients for a mainstream brand
- No grains, glutens or by-products
- Average cat needs 2.3 cans per day
- Other Fancy Feast varieties receive lower ratings
If circumstances limit your cat food choices to mainstream or supermarket brands, Fancy Feast Flaked Fish & Shrimp Feast is among the better options available. While most supermarket varieties include by-products and loads of undesirable grains, this particular Fancy Feast variety leads off with fish, fish broth and shrimp as its first three ingredients. Note that many other varieties of Fancy Feast contain by-products and make poor food choices, illustrating the importance of reading labels. Feeding guidelines recommend 2.3 cans per day for an average cat, making this cheap brand actually more expensive than Natural Balance Indoor Cat Formula (*Est. $1.10 per 6-oz. can), which earns much better reviews.

There aren't a lot of reviews here, and what's here is not comparative, but these user-generated video reviews can be fun to watch. If nothing else, it removes the cloak of anonymity compared with the user reviews found at most other sites.
