What is the difference between friskies and 9 lives canned cat food?

Adelle

Is there any difference between these brands? Which is better? I noticed that Friskies is more expensive than 9 Lives. Which brand of canned cat food do you recommend?



Davis

You should check the ingredients. Cats need a lot of protein in their diet because they are true carnivores. You want a real meat product to be listed first, like chicken. Look for things like Corn meal, if that is something listed very high on the ingredients then its not a good food because it doesnt give the cat the protein needed. Heres a link with some info about cat food labels and diet requirements.

Both are good some times a brand is more expensive but no better



Corine

Both use by-product meat (meat treated with chemicals and by law declared "unfit for human consumption") so neither is something you should want for your cats food. I believe Friskies does more national advertising which is passed on to you in the cost of the food.

Just different name brand,"recipes". The food to recommend is any quality, healthy brand, that your cat will eat. Wont do any good to buy it if your cat wont eat it!

Hi As far as quality goes, there isnt much difference. fancy feast is the next step up from those 2. as the first ingrediant in FF is a muscle meat whereas in the other 2 it may be something like liver. I am glad that you are choosing canned foods over dry. Contrary to what many believe, canned foods are much healthier for your cat.

I wouldnt suggest either one, Id go with Nutro Max or MaxiCat.
