If you’ve read the review of Purina Pro Plan, then I’m sure you’re expecting this cheaper offering from Purina to be carnage. You’ll be right.
In our Purina Supercoat cat food review we’ll find out why this is probably not the best diet for a carnivorous pet.
Supercoat cat food review
I’ll focus on the Adult Chicken recipe for this review, but they’re all as bad as this.
Credit where credit is due, Nestle Purina are very good at what they do – marketing. Their food is terrible, and I wouldn’t say that without the facts to prove it. Please read on…
We’ll start with a simple question – Is a cat herbivore, omnivore, or carnivore? That’s right, they’re a carnivore; they eat meat. So why does Supercoat have wholegrain cereal and cereal by-products as the main ingredient? And if cereal isn’t bad enough, this includes by-products of cereal – are they talking about floor sweepings? This is terrible.
Thankfully there’s a meat product as the second ingredient, but it’s very obscure. They can’t even clarify exactly what kind of meat it is – chicken, beef, lamb, or it might be some kind of poultry? It also contains by-products, which could be any part of those animals. Beaks, hooves, pig noses, who knows? This is meat carnage lucky dip.
I really don’t need to continue. Any food that has a filler as the main ingredient is a lousy food. It’s a solid 1 star. Buy something else.

My ragdoll has been throwing this up around the house since the night before last, not too much and only for a minute or two. Once all out he is fine, no other signs of illness or weight loss. I’ve sent some emails and inboxes to the company, any idea what I should expect?
Hi Amy, Purina’s typical response is denial. Sadly I’ve heard it too many times with this food.
