Friskies is ok, it's not the best of the supermarket brands, but it's certainly not the worse. In terms of supermarket brands, I prefer Purina, but if Atticus has been eating Friskies his entire life, I'd keep giving it to him. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Friskies is not the best choice for cat food and I usually reserve recommending this brand for sick patients that won't eat anything and need a little more enticing for the appetite. Friskies contains mostly biproducts in the ingredients but it is not going to put her life in danger. Friskies meets the AAFCO statement and all life stage requirements and the truth is, I've seen many cats on Friskies their entire life and they looked great. I do typically recommend Science Diet or Royal Canin as my first choice recommendations as I know that have quite a bit of research they have put into their diets and from personal experience I find that both are great diets. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!

Both foods are considered mid to low-tier commercial foods. Whiskas and Friskies both tend to have a lot of filler ingredients in them which may cause obesity or health issues in some cats. However, other cats will prefer these foods and can thrive on them. If you're looking for higher quality foods, looking for brands such as Science Diet, Eukanuba, Purina, etc is a good stepping stone up.

I would feed whichever brand your cat(s) prefer. Both diets do meet the minimum standards for nutrition and are fine as long as your cat doesn't have any health issues like urinary crystals or stones. You are providing them adequate nutrition and it is important they eat what they prefer and you can reasonably afford.

I think Friskies is the slightly better diet. You can also feed a combo of wet and dry, most cats enjoy some variety. You may also look at Purina, they produce a nice food and tend to be less expensive than some of the other foods. Please post again if you have any further questions!
