Hi Susannah Our Fussy Cat dry food range (in the white packaging) remains grain-free, and we've recently updated the packaging to state “grain-free” on the back label. Along with this change we’ve made a few minor recipe updates, including switching tapioca for lentils which are a fibre-rich, low-fat ingredient that helps support satiety and overall wellbeing. Please note, our Fussy Cat Luxe dry foods (in the black packaging) are not grain-free. As always, we recommend checking the updated label and following our transition guide when making any dietary changes. Feel free to call us on 1800 732 573 (option 4) if you'd like more info!

I’m pretty sure, the soya bean is causing my cat to get diarrhoea, which l read is a high allergen for a lot of cats

I was thinking it might be the lentils but the soya bean makes sense!

Since the packaging changed, it has been making my cat sick aswell, will not be buying it anymore.

Hi Shirley-Ann, We’re so glad to hear your six cats are loving our Fussy Cat Kitten dry food! At the moment, 450g is the largest bag size available in this particular flavour. However, we do offer a 2.5kg bag in three other flavours, which might be a more convenient option if your cats enjoy them. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with our team, as we’re always reviewing our range and pack sizes. If there’s anything else we can help with, please don’t hesitate to reach out! The Fussy Cat Team

When the manufacturer replied to me they said nothing had changed and the size variation was a natural change to ingredients. It looks like a different 50% smaller biscuit and our 2 cats pick out the larger original bits out and leave the smaller ones. I’ve bought the smaller bags which still seem to have the normal sized biscuits with the original flavour. They will probably change to the new taste/ size biscuits eventually as well unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply. Have you repackaged it and changed the mixture as I got the white one with the blue on it and the boys don’t like it. They are so fussy. One of my boys have celiac disease and I’m finding it hard as he will not eat the new ones.

Hi Mickey, We have made minor changes to some ingredient percentages in our Fussy Cat dry foods, to ensure they are providing our customers pets with the best selection of high-quality ingredients available. We have also updated and simplified how these ingredients are listed on our labelling. We’re sorry to hear your cats are reluctant to eat our products now and will share this feedback with the team. If you have any further questions you can reach out to us directly on 1800 732 573 or through our website external link 

Well I’m sorry to hear you changed something that wasn’t broken.

Me to, my cat has started vomiting of late. The blue bag was the ONE AND ONLYkibble she could tolerate, now I'm in serious trouble. She's been vomiting quite badly in last few weeks. It's what triggered me to google the question of a possible ingredient change. What is the actual change that's bee made??. I am now faced with a huge decision on my cat, as the blue bag was the ONLY KIBBLE IN THE SUPERMARKET SHE COULD TOLERATE . YES, IM SAD, AND ANGRY...WHY CHANGE A GOOD THING. . she may have to be euthanasia now.

Hi Tammy, Unfortunately, our Fussy Cat Grainfree dry foods are not specifically formulated for cats that have medical conditions such as diabetes. Although these products are grainfree, they will still contain carbohydrates which may need to be taken into consideration in an animal with diabetes. If you haven’t already, we’d recommend you speak further with your attending veterinarian as they are in the best position to advise if our Fussy Cat dry foods are suitable for your feline family member. We hope this information helps.

Hi Skyler, Wed suggest basing the majority of your new kittens diet on a specifically formulated kitten food such as our new Fussy Cat Kitten Care dry food and offering our Fussy Cat treats occasionally. You can learn more on this product by visiting our website here: external link  We hope this helps.

Hi Skyler, Wed suggest feeding our new Fussy Cat Kitten Care dry food to cats under 12 months of age. You can learn more on this product by visiting our website here: external link  We hope this helps.

Hi Tabatha, We’d suggest feeding our new Fussy Cat Kitten Care dry food to cats under 12 months of age. For kittens weighing between 1-3kg we suggest feeding 45g to 110g (or ½ cup to 1 cup) of dry food per day (for each cat) if this is the only food being fed. You can visit our website to see the our suggested feeding chart. You may need to feed more or less than what we suggest as each animal will have individual requirements. If you haven’t already, we’d suggest confirming your cats’ weights by popping them on the scales at home or at your local vet clinic, as ~1kg sound quite underweight for a 10 month old cat. We hope this helps.

Hi Marie, Thanks for reaching out. We can confirm that all of our Fussy Cat products are produced under extensive product quality control processes and comply with Australian Standard AS5812.

The Fussy Cat dry food and wet food range are also formulated as complete and balanced to ensure your cat receives all the nutrients in the diet. We hope this helps

I gave this to my cats recently thinking I was doing them a favour switching to grain free but they had awful diarrhea and vomiting. I stopped using it and they still were ill until a week later. I wouldn’t use it again and don’t recommend it.

Hi Tanya my cat has bad diarrhea to and doesn't look himself

Mine have had diarrhoea for a couple of weeks. At first I thought they must both have a bug, but it's kept going, and smells toxic - the only thing I can put it down to is that it coincides with me opening a new pack of the grain free chicken and Turkey.... they both have the diarrhoea, and one of them recently had a clean bill of health from the vet, so it's not likely to be some other terrible illness. I think there must be a really bad batch.
