Whiskas Dry Cat Food: Quality for Your Beloved Pets

There are many different types of cat food on the market today that it may be challenging to determine which one is right for your pet. Whiskas is a well-know dry cat food manufactured by the Mars Company. The slogan states that, “eight out of ten cats prefer it.” It typically comes in the form of nuggets. These nuggets have a crunchy texture that supposedly cats love and keeps them coming back for more. The nuggets have a very crunchy outer shell but as the cat gets to the center it finds a nice flavorful surprise. There are very many varieties of cat foods from Whiskas but when it comes to the Whiskas dry cat food, there are only three varieties.

Types of Dry Whiskas Cat Food

The first variety of the Whiskas Dry cat food is the meaty selection. The meaty selection is made for cats of all age groups. It does not matter whether they are kittens, adults (one year old plus) or mature cats (seven years old plus). The meaty selection is made from a combination of two flavors; chicken and turkey combined together to make one formula. The meaty selection then has ground yellow corn listed as its first ingredient which serves the cats carbohydrate needs. It is then followed by a chicken by-product meal which is essential for providing the high protein nutrition that cats need.

The second variety of Whiskas Dry Cat Food is the indoor selection. This indoor selection is made only for adult cats that lead an indoor lifestyle. Such cats get very little exercise and therefore feeding them foods high in carbohydrates and proteins can lead to them becoming obese or slightly overweight. This selection of dry cat food also has ground yellow corn as the first ingredient and comes with either seafood or shrimp as the second ingredient.

These first two selections of dry cat food have something in common apart from just being dry; they both have a guaranteed analysis of 30% protein and 12% fat. The indoor selection however, will have much less carbohydrates per tray of food unlike the meaty selection.

Last but not least in the line of Whiskas Dry Cat Food selections is the chicken and turkey flavor. This selection of dry food is made specifically for the kittens which are felines under one year of age. The main thing that growing kittens need is food that is very high in protein. The chicken and turkey variety has a chicken by-product meal listed as its first main ingredient and the turkey comes in as the second. These are both high protein meats. They are then mixed with corn gluten meal which will cater to their carbohydrate needs. This selection of Whiskas Dry Cat Food has a guaranteed analysis of 34% protein (very high) and 15% fat.

Whiskas has been around since the last 1930’s, we think the answer to the question of “is Whiskas going to stop making dry cat food” is no. So the real question is, do eight out of ten cats really prefer it? With several different varieties available I’m sure there is something that your cat will love!
