Choosing GOURMET Gold cat food isn’t simply a matter of picking the flavour that catches your eye on the packaging. Texture, nutritional status, serving size and storage conditions can all affect your day-to-day experience, for both you and your cat.
Some marketing claims are also worth checking carefully. A recipe described as “with chicken” doesn’t necessarily contain mostly chicken, while a mousse or purée may have a different nutritional status. Here’s what to check before you add anything to your basket.
A “with tuna”, “with salmon” or “with beef” label guarantees that the named ingredient is present, but not that it makes up most of the recipe. Some GOURMET products, for example, list 4% tuna, salmon or beef in their ingredients. It’s best to check the label rather than relying on the picture or product name alone.
Pouch purées, including some GOURMET Nature’s Creations products, are described as complementary pet food. They can be added to a meal or offered from time to time, but they don’t replace a complete diet for an adult cat.
For everyday meals, look for the words “complete pet food for adult cats”, or equivalent wording, on the packaging.
An 85 g tin is often a convenient portion, but your cat’s daily allowance depends on their weight, activity level and body condition. An opened tin should generally be kept in the fridge and used within the time stated on the label. For the products featured here, this is often 24 hours.
The recipes in this selection are mainly aimed at adult cats aged 1 to 7 years. Check that the age range shown is right for your pet. When served according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, a complete food is formulated to meet your cat’s daily nutritional needs.
However, recommended quantities aren’t the same for every cat. As a guide, several GOURMET Gold products recommend around 3 to 4 tins of 85 g per day for a 4 kg cat, split across two or more meals. Adjust this according to your cat’s activity level and build.
Cat mousse suits cats who prefer a smooth texture that’s easy to lap up. Recipes in gravy focus more on chunks and juices, while cat pouches make serving simple and mean you don’t have to store an opened tin.
Some products claim to be made without added colourants, added artificial preservatives or added artificial flavourings. This wording describes the recipe as presented by the manufacturer; it doesn’t mean that all the ingredients consist solely of meat or fish.
It’s also worth checking the analytical constituents, including moisture, protein and fat. Two recipes may have a similar protein content but different textures and moisture levels.
Why it suits this type of household : A single 85 g tin lets you try the mousse and beef recipe without immediately buying a large multipack of cat food.
The product details specify that it’s a complete pet food for adult cats aged 1 to 7 years and list 4% beef in the ingredients.
An 85 g tin of beef mousse, with no added colourants or artificial preservatives according to the product description.
Why it suits this type of household : This recipe combines mousse, a gravy centre and 14% cod. It’s aimed at owners looking for a more distinctive texture.
It’s identified as a complete pet food for adult cats, rather than simply a complementary treat.
An 85 g tin of mousse with gravy, with 14% cod stated and a recipe made without added colourants, artificial flavourings or artificial preservatives.
Why it suits this type of household : This pack of 96 85 g pouches is ideal for households that serve wet food every day and want to switch between four recipes.
Individual pouches help keep leftovers to a minimum. The variety also means you won’t be left with a whole stock of one recipe your cat refuses to eat.
Four varieties — turkey, tuna, duck and lamb — in 85 g portions, and a complete pet food for adult cats aged 1 to 7 years.
We’ve put together a comprehensive, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and European safety regulations.
Products described as complete pet food for adult cats are designed to meet daily nutritional needs when served according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Always check the age stated on the label, as some recipes are specifically intended for cats aged 1 to 7 years.
Recommendations vary by recipe. The 85 g products featured here often recommend between 2 and 4 tins a day, split across several meals. Adjust this amount according to your cat’s activity level, weight and any other food they eat.
Tins are a good choice if you want to compare several recipes in individual portions. Pouches make everyday serving and storage easier. Mousse suits cats who prefer a smooth texture, while mini fillets and chunks in gravy offer a different consistency. The right choice depends above all on your pet’s preferences and your routine.
