Whiskas With Savory Nuggets
Catch of the Day- Shrimp, Salmon, & Tuna Flavors
This particular Whiskas cat food is a dry cat food. This is the only cat food my cat will eat. And get this...she will not eat the moist and yummy (if you will) scrumpious looking cat food. Even from Whiskas! What a strange cat. Anyway I'm glad she likes Whiskas dry cat food.
My cat eats so much of this food you would think she would weigh a ton, but she doesn't. She's always been kind of skinny and long. She's white with yellow eyes. She loves these nuggets.
Description
This particular brand and flavor has dry cat food in the shape of little fishies, little shrimps, and squares. The fish and shrimp shapes are orange in color, while the square nuggets are a yellowish brown. The special "savory nuggets" are made of a double texture. The outside is crispy and crunchy. Whereas, the inside is a soft tasty filling. These nuggets, together with the shrimp, salmon, and tuna, make for a tasty treat...so says my cat and the cat food label. I personally have never tried it. Good thing, huh? LOL
Packaging
I usually buy the 1.1 pound bag(shown here) or the 3 pound bag. The smaller bag is purple with a zip lock top. The bigger 3 pound bag is also purple with a roll down top.
The Cost
The 1.1 pound smaller bag costs me $1.39 and the larger 3 pound bag costs me between $2.59 and $3.00. Pretty reasonable. I usually have a 50 cent coupon too which my grocery store doubles. That makes it an excellent value for a food my cat really enjoys!
Nutrition
Whiskas With Savory Nuggets is 100% total complete nutrition. There are no artificial colors or flavors. This cat food contains balanced nutrition for the growth of your cat and maintenance to keep her healthy. Cats are finicky and this cat food claims to meet every cat's individual need for taste and personality.
Feeding
The Whiskas label tells the amount of food your cat should have every day according to her age. I have provided this information below.
****1 Year and younger- up to 1 1/2 -8oz. cups per day
****Over 1 Year- 1/2 to 1 1/4 -8 oz. cups per day
Each cat's own needs vary. Whiskas also recommends keeping fresh drinking water available. Which I think we all do anyway. Whiskas recommends storing this dry cat food in a cool, dry place.

Waltham is the leading authority on pet nutrition and care in the world. Veterinarians and nutritionists of Waltham got together with Whiskas to make and test this food with superior pet care in mind.

On the package is a nutrition pyramid provided by Waltham. From the top to the bottom of the pyramid the listings include:
"Vitamins, Minerals, Fats And Essential Fatty Acids, Carbohydrates & Fiber, and Quality Protein".
Vitamins= provide overall well being and healthiness of your cat

My cat will be 12 years old on July 23rd of this year. She has managed to stay healthy and strong without any problems. Maybe there is something to be said for this cat food. Maybe it's just good genes. But I know one thing, my cat has "told" me she likes Whiskas. Maybe your cat will too.
Note: I don't proclaim to be anywhere close to a cat food expert, but I hope I have helped you some on your decision to buy this pet food. Any facts I have stated here I have read with my own two eyes off the package of Whiskas. Thank you for reading and have a nice day!
