How much your cat needs to be nourished daily depends on their activity levels and what stage of life they are in. Generally, the more active they are (think adventurous outdoor cats) the more they’ll need to eat.
These feeding guidelines are averages and the needs of individual cats may vary.
Please consult your veterinarian for the best feeding regimen for your cat.
While it’s perfectly safe to stop feeding your cat’s previous food one day and introduce Fussie Cat the next, we recommend a gradual transition to Fussie Cat for up to 2 weeks. This is especially true if your cat has been previously fed a high grain, corn, wheat or soy diet. Start by introducing a small amount of Fussie Cat, increasing it daily while decreasing the previous food by the same amount. This will help avoid upset stomachs as it makes it easier for your pet’s digestive system to acclimate.
What sets Fussie Cat apart from other pet foods?
Fussie Cat recipes are based on our Meat First philosophy. Meat or fish is always the main ingredient. As cats are obligate carnivores, nothing but a Meat First recipe will provide complete, Physiologically Tuned™ nutrition for your pet.
Why is real meat as the first ingredient so important?
All Fussie Cat recipes are based on our Meat First™ philosophy because cats are obligate carnivores. They require high amounts of protein to thrive, and lack the digestive enzymes to properly break down and combine incomplete plant proteins. This means they must have high-quality animal protein for optimal health.
Should Fussie Cat canned foods be refrigerated after opening?
Yes. Any unused portion must be refrigerated in a sealed container. Consider a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. In addition, we recommend using each meal completely within 4 days of opening it. If your cat doesn’t care for cold food, let it sit at room temperature for around 30 minutes, or microwave it for 10 seconds (in a microwave safe dish, not the can), prior to feeding.
How do I read the dates on cans of Fussie Cat?
To help ensure you’re getting the freshest food for your cat, we provide both a “Production Date” and an “Expiration Date” on our packaging, located on the bottom of the can. It will read: “PRO MM/DD/YYYY, and EXP MM/DD/YYYY.” Never feed our pet food or any other brand to your cat past the expiration date.
What is the shelf life of Fussie Cat food?
Our recipes are vacuum sealed in our kitchen to give them a shelf life of 3 years. As with any pet food, never feed our meals to your pet past the expiration date, which is clearly marked on the bottom of the can.
Fussie Cat may be healthy, but will my cat like it?
The healthiest recipe in the world is useless if your cat won’t eat it. Conversely, the most delicious recipe falls short if it doesn’t provide the nutrition your cat’s biology demands. That’s why our recipes are all “Co-Created by Cats.™” We start with the Meat First™ ingredients your cat needs to thrive, then we taste test our meals with actual pets to create meals that are as delicious as they are nutritious.
Can I feed my cat dog food, or vice versa?
No. Despite what you may have heard, cats and dogs have unique nutritional needs and should be fed meals designed specifically for their needs. Health problems may occur from not feeding your pet a complete and balanced, species appropriate diet. Check the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) statement, or on the product packaging to determine if that recipe is appropriate for your pet’s nutritional requirements.
Is Fussie Cat easy to rotate between flavors with my sensitive feline?
Because Fussie Cat® products are formulated to have similar nutrient profiles it is a great rotational diet. If your cat is sensitive to a certain recipe we recommend that you try another.
How do I know Fussie Cat provides my pet with quality nutrition?
All Fussie Cat foods are made in an FDA-approved kitchen that also produces human-grade foods. We regularly inspect everything from the manufacturing process to the raw ingredients that go in our foods so you can rest assured your cat’s meals are prepared under the strictest guidelines for quality control that meets international standards.
Do you perform any invasive animal testing in developing your products?
No, and we never will. Our company was founded on the basis of providing delicious, nutritionally correct, value conscious meals for your cat. To fine-tune our recipes, we conduct trials where our food is fed to pets. This is done in a comfortable, stress-free environment for the animals.
What is AAFCO and is Fussie Cat AAFCO approved?
AAFCO stands for Association of American Feed Control Officials. All Fussie Cat recipes are formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO for all life stages of your pet. This certifies that Fussie Cat is a nutritionally complete product that can be fed to your pet as its sole ration without adding any other substance except water. For more information on AAFCO regulations, visit aafco.org.
Co-Created by Cats
Instead of just assuming what kind of food cats will like, Fussie Cat lets them call the shots. Each recipe is co-created and taste-tested by cats to make sure your own kitty will love it. Aside from being highly palatable, Fussie Cat wet and dry foods are full of quality meats like boneless chicken, duck, tuna, shrimp and prawns to make sure your little carnivore is getting the protein-rich, feline-appropriate diet she needs.
Made for Meat Lovers
If there's one thing cats crave, it's the rich taste of pure meat. It makes sense, because they're obligate carnivores. Your four-legged friend probably lets you know exactly what she likes, and it's sure to be fish, poultry or meat. Fussie Cat has farm-raised poultry, ocean fish from the South Pacific, and a whole range of interesting seafood options like Threadfin Bream, smoked tuna, mussels, clams and anchovies.
Physiologically Correct Diets
Knowing that cats need meat protein to survive, Fussie Cat developed formulas that they call Physiologically Correct. As true carnivores, their bodies are extremely efficient in processing meat, so 20% of their diet should come from animal proteins. Fussie Cat's foods start with meat, are low in carbs and include a complete spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals. You can be sure your kitty's getting all the necessary amino acids, protein and other nutrients.
Kitty's Choice
With two canned food lines and several tempting dry food options, your cat can always have the dinner she prefers. Fussie Cat Premium is a tuna-based menu that pairs this popular fish with chicken or seafood delicacies. Super Premium is made for chicken lovers with boneless chicken, low sodium levels and plenty of omegas. Market Fresh dry foods are crunchy and delicious, with proteins full of vitamin B12, and antioxidant-rich cranberries and blueberries.
Outstanding Quality Control
Fussie Cat makes their top-quality foods in an FDA-registered kitchen—the same kitchen that produces canned food that's fit for people to eat. Thorough quality inspections are conducted daily for food safety, heavy metals, pathogens, contamination and pesticides, so the end product is everything that you should expect it to be.
About Fussie Cat
Fussie Cat uses a carnivore-friendly, meat-first philosophy to provide wholesome meals that are full of the animal proteins your cat needs to thrive. Meat is always the main course, and carbohydrates only appear in limited amounts. They've created recipes that not only pass the strictest international food safety tests, but also kitty taste tests with flying colors. Cats from all corners of the U.S. will find all their favorites in Fussie Cat's Market Fresh dry foods and flavorful wet foods.

Long Overdue Great Rating!!
By 1katzmom on Jan 2, 2022
A few yrs ago, I took home a tiny diluted tortie kitten frm a cat rescue. They failed to tell me she had constant diarrhea! We were feeding our cats a very expensive, online purchase-cat food, which still caused kitten Claire to have diarrhea! We desperately searched different brands to find something she could eat! She was losing weight & I was afraid I’d lose her! We finally came across Fussie Cat-chk’n & turkey (as the best choice for her tummy). Within a day or 2, the diarrhea disappeared! I found her in the litter box growling as she struggled to pass a regular bum! Our skinny baby is now a 14-lb beauty, thanks to Fussie Cat!!

something wrong with this food
By lovespongebob on Dec 11, 2021
I have bought this for years and a couple of bags ago that I purchased I noticed that the kibble looked larger, lighter, and had a more square shape. Well my cat kept throwing it up so i contacted Chewy and they sent me a replacement bag right away. The Kibble was normal looking and my cat was fine with it. I recently ordered it again and it looks like the bad bag I got before and my cat is throwing it up again!! Never buying it ever again.

Cats love it
By Cindy on Dec 19, 2021
So money was tight, I decided to go with this brand instead of the more expensive, blue. All 3 cats preferred this brand, turkey/chicken, than the other! Plus, my oldest cat’s coat is now looking amazing! Definitely will be sticking with this brand!!

Jerry loves it
By Bernadine on Dec 23, 2021
Jerry loves this cat food, he’s not a fussy cat but usually he eats and leaves when he’s done. Now he is vocal like he’s talking to the food or to me or both of us! I’ll definitely keep buying all the flavors

Fussie Cat dry cat food review.
By LoLo on Nov 3, 2021
Both of my kittens/cats (1 year old's) like this food a lot. However I can not confirm as of yet that the food is making them gain weight. I took them to the Vets and they each gained about a pound in a months time of changing from kitten dry food (different brand) to the adult dry food Fussie Cat. Not sure if it is related or not however that is the only difference in their feeding routine.

I don't normally review cat food, but...
By Lexa on Aug 7, 2021
...this is a major exception, because this food has worked wonders for my two cats! Our older cat, Teddy, is a picky eater. We've spent maybe $500 on different dry foods for him, but he loses interest quickly. So when we adopted a kitten, we had to find something both could eat - and both would enjoy. I read some reviews about this brand on Chewy, and decided to give it a go. And much to my surprise - both cats happily eat it! Their coats are nice and shiny, their digestive health has been wonderful, and there have been fewer instances of vomiting. This is an excellent food for all life stages, and I (or, I suppose, my two cats) highly recommend it. :)

Really is good for fussy cats!
By Posey123 on Jun 19, 2021
My cat actually eats this, and he's a certified junk food grain lover (Purina fan). He mainly eats wet food but needs some dry to keep his number twos from getting soft. Took trying many, MANY different brands, but I finally found a grain free dry food that 1, he'll actually eat, and 2, that has enough fiber to keep his bowel movements solid. Glad it's got multiple protein sources as well. He also enjoys Stella and Chewy's Duck Duck Goose freeze dried dinner morsels as a dry food, so that's an additional 2 protein sources. Now his breath isnt rancid anymore, and his poop doesn't even smell that bad. Sometimes I won't even know he pooped until I walk in the bathroom and see it in the litter box My cat actually eats this, and he's a certified junk food grain lover (Purina fan).

Good kitten food
By Mtuna on May 29, 2021
When I got my first foster litter this season, this was the food they provided. It has the nutrients kittens need and they love it! I bought this from Chewy because it has the USA seal. I’ve seen the same elsewhere without that seal. One can’t be too careful!
