History. Whiskas, originally known as Kal Kan, started manufacturing pet foods in 1936 from its headquarters near Los Angeles, California. It eventually grew its operations across the United States. In 1958, it entered the UK market under the Whiskas brand, which was later expanded throughout Europe.

Whiskas is the name of a pet food brand, which was established in 1936 in the United States. Today the brand, founded as Kal Kan, is owned by Mars corporation, and known all over the globe, being the most famous and recognizable label of cat foods.
More than a dozen Whiskas dry cat food products are being recalled because some of the raw ingredients didn't meet the manufacturer's “stringent internal quality specifications.” Mars Petcare Canada said anyone who bought the affected products should throw out the food and stop feeding it to their cats.
Lackluster nutrition. Whiskas has a high carb and low protein content. Not ideal for long term health. Fussy cats will also sniff out the lack of quality meat ingredients and turn away (like our cat Toby did).
In conclusion, while it may be tempting to feed our furry friends, we should limit our consumption of animal foods to a diet that is tailored to our own specific nutritional needs. Because whiskas cat food is intended for cats, it may not meet the necessary nutrients for human health.
Mars has stopped supplying supermarket chain Tesco with its Whiskas pet food in a row over prices. The two companies are engaged in a price dispute which Tesco said it hoped would be "resolved soon".
Spratt, which began by making dog biscuits, appears to also have been the first commercial producer of cat food.
For example, on the ingredients panel of a standard sachet of Whiskas chicken in gravy, the first thing listed is “meat and animal derivatives (38%, of which 94% natural, including 4% chicken)”. Then it's cereals, minerals (0.5%) and “various sugars”.
An individual whisker will fall out every couple of months, and each whisker will be in a different phase of the shedding cycle at any given time. Whisker shedding in felines is healthy and normal, with some lore even suggesting that finding a cat whisker is good luck!
Gravy based meals like Whiskas® Wet pouches are particularly palatable and cats love it.
The conglomerate said its supply issue was driven by a number of factors, including in the global shipping industry, in the US, and in local ports. Its cat food range had been most affected, as it is imported, primarily from the US, it said.
We craft a large portion of our pet products right here in the Blayney NSW Australia. We know exactly what goes into every batch.

Cats often got their nutrition by eating rodents. Sometimes, when a housemaid or a cook had some scraps or leftovers that couldn't be used as food for pigs or in any other way, cats would get it. But mostly, their diet was natural, and they were in charge of their meals.
Yes, this product should be refrigerated after opening. It will keep in the refrigerator for just under a week. We suggest bringing it to room temperature prior to serving for your cat's maximum enjoyment.

My dog likes your WHISKAS® Cat Food — is it ok for him to eat it, too? No. Dogs and cats have different nutritional requirements and should be fed food that is formulated for them. However, if your dog accidently eats WHISKAS® Cat Food, your dog should be fine if he is not on any special/restricted diet.
The ingredients are chopped and the mixture is made into smooth chunks or pate, cooked, and mixed with cats' favourite water-based textures, jelly and gravy.
It's OK to satisfy the occasional craving, but you shouldn't make it a staple of your regular diet. It's cat food for a reason.”
Yes, but only as a short-term, last-resort solution. A stolen snack from the dog's bowl isn't a cause for worry. But cats eating dog food on a consistent basis can be detrimental to their health and well-being.
