Review - Purina Go-Cat Crunchy & Tender Food *


A very different blog post today as I will be reviewing Purina Go-Cat Crunchy & Tender food.

Purina Go-Cat Crunchy & Tender * (packaging))

A sample of this cat food was sent to me last week by Purina, so I thought that it would be only fair to review this product and test it out on my micro-cat and also my dog, who also loved the product (no idea if it is ok to give dogs cat food but he managed to sneak in whilst I was taking the photos and munch a load of it so could not really be helped!).


Jager loving the kibble

On the front of the packaging which the sample was sent in it says "Voted Product of the Year 2014 - Consumer Survey of Product Innovation", which instantly drew my attention into  the product more as it shows that a lot of consumers think very highly of the kibble.

The flavour of Go-Cat which I received in the post is salmon, tuna and added vegetables.


 A money off coupon also comes inside the packaging so that if your cat enjoys the food you can purchase more with a discount, which is for £0.25 off 375g, 800g & 1.5kg packs (not much at all... but every little helps!). This money off coupon is valid until the 30th March 2015. 


Money off coupon

Inside this coupon is also a small description of the product stating that "is a 100% complete, balanced pet food and offers two different textures for your cat's enjoyment at mealtimes" being the crunchy kibble and the softer, more tender kibble. The crunchy kibble is said to "help maintain healthy teeth and gums" and the softer, more tender kibble is said to "provide extra nutrition for your cat which is rich in meat ands richer in omega 3 fatty acids. You can clearly see from the pictures the different types of kibble (red, brown and green coloured). Both the kibbles maintain and support their natural defences and contribute to a shiny coat, which I have not seen the difference yet in her fur, but then again she has only eaten a small amount from the sample pack.


Purina Go-Cat kibble

My micro-cat seemed to really enjoy the kibble and wanted to eat more and more (when she could as Jager, my pomeranian, budged her out of the way). It seemed to give my cat more energy which was perfect as she is always out in the garden and then she sleeps for ages after.


This cat food is made up of:- cereals, meat and animal derivatives, vegetable protein extracts, oils and fats, fish and fish derivatives (3.3%*) , derivatives of vegetable origin, glycerol, minerals, various sugars, yeasts, vegetables (crunchy kibbles:0.2% dried vegetables equivalent to 1% vegetables).
* Equivalent to 8% rehydrated fish and fish derivatives, with 4% salmon and 4% tuna.


You can purchase Go-Cat from Tesco's (link below) for £1.49 for a 375g, which is such a good price and works out as £3.98 per kg. You can also get this food in a 800g bag for £3.15 (link below) from Tesco's, and a 1.5kg bag for £5.09. I am sure that you can purchase this food in other supermarkets such as Waitrose etc.


I would definitely buy this cat food again for my cat as she seemed to love this food and is such a good price!



Has your cat tried this Purina Go-Cat food before? Can you recommend any other dry food to give to cats, and also dogs?
