About Feline Gourmet
Feline Gourmet is a wet cat food brand distributed in the Philippines by Pet Plus Global Marketing Corp. Manufactured in Thailand, the brand offers seafood- and meat-based recipes positioned as accessible, flavour-focused options for everyday feeding. Products are available in single-serving 80 g cans and pouches, as well as larger 400 g cans, and are sold through various Philippine pet retailers.[1]
Note: Feline Gourmet is distinct from GOURMET, a premium cat food brand owned by Nestlé/Purina with a separate international history.

Brand identity
Feline Gourmet aims to make wet food appealing to cats through recognisable meat and seafood combinations while providing basic nutritional components expected in cat food. Retail descriptions typically emphasise high-quality protein, taurine, vitamins, trace minerals, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Several formulas also highlight the absence of added salt, preservatives, or artificial flavours.
For example, the 400 g wet food products are described as containing natural taurine, protein, minerals, and omega fatty acids. One published guaranteed analysis lists 10% minimum crude protein, 2% minimum crude fat, 1% maximum crude fibre, and 84% maximum moisture.[2]
Product range
Feline Gourmet maintains a notably seafood-heavy portfolio rather than one centred primarily on conventional chicken or beef formulas. Pet Plus currently lists products including:[1]
- Feline Gourmet Tuna & Salmon
- Feline Gourmet Tuna & Shrimp
- Feline Gourmet Tuna & Anchovy
- Feline Gourmet Tuna, Sardines & Shrimp in Salmon Jelly
- Feline Gourmet Mediterranean Seafood Feast
- Feline Gourmet Ocean Fish Selection with Squid & Prawn
- Feline Gourmet Seafood Platter in Salmon Jelly
- Feline Gourmet Sardines, Chicken & Prawn
- Feline Gourmet Fresh Tuna & Tender Chicken
- Feline Gourmet Sardine Cutlets with Shrimp & Chicken
- Feline Gourmet Mackerel Cutlets with Squid & Chicken
- Feline Gourmet Sardine & Mackerel with Chicken
80 g products
The smaller Feline Gourmet cans are designed around individual flavour combinations such as Tuna & Shrimp, Tuna & Crab, Tuna & Salmon, and Tuna & Anchovy. Retail information for these formulas identifies tuna and seafood as principal ingredients, supplemented with taurine, vitamin supplements, and trace minerals. The Tuna & Crab formula, for instance, lists 11% minimum crude protein, 0.3% minimum crude fat, 1% maximum crude fibre, 3% maximum crude ash, and 85% maximum moisture.[3]
400 g products
The 400 g line focuses on larger mixed-protein meals suited to households feeding multiple cats or using wet food as a substantial dietary component. Examples include Sardine & Mackerel with Chicken, Sardine Cutlets with Shrimp & Chicken, Mackerel Cutlets with Squid & Chicken, Ocean Fish Selection with Squid & Prawn, Seafood Platter in Salmon Jelly, Mediterranean Seafood Feast, Tuna, Sardines & Shrimp in Salmon Jelly, and Fresh Tuna & Tender Chicken. Retail listings indicate a standard moisture content of approximately 84%, typical of high-moisture wet food.[2][3]
Pouch line
In July 2024, Pet Plus announced a pouch range initially offering four recipes in 80 g servings:[1][4]
- Minced Chicken with Tuna Fillet & Whitebait
- Minced Chicken with Rice & Fish Roe
- Minced Chicken with Mackerel & Salmon
- Minced Chicken with Crab & Carrot
This expansion provides a convenient, modern alternative to traditional canned wet food.
Manufacturing and regulation
Philippine retail listings identify Feline Gourmet products as made in Thailand.[3] The Bureau of Animal Industry’s March 2024 registration list records Feline Gourmet products including Tuna & Shrimp, Tuna & Crab, Tuna & Salmon, and Tuna & Anchovy, with Pet Plus Global Marketing Corp. identified as the manufacturer/importer.
Company and Philippine presence
The Feline Gourmet Philippine brand page is hosted by Pet Plus, which lists Pet Plus Global Marketing Corp. and provides a contact address in Binondo, Manila.[1] In the Philippine market, Feline Gourmet is closely associated with Pet Plus’s pet food distribution business and is not related to Nestlé’s GOURMET brand.
Nutritional positioning
Protein
Recipes are built predominantly around animal ingredients such as tuna, sardines, mackerel, chicken, shrimp, crab, and salmon. The brand promotes high-quality protein as a contributor to healthy development and immune function.[2]
Taurine
Taurine is added or listed as a component in several formulas, addressing its status as an essential nutrient for cats.
Moisture
As wet foods, products have high moisture content. Published analyses for different recipes place moisture levels around 84–85%.[2][3]
Fatty acids
Feline Gourmet promotes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, particularly in connection with skin and coat condition.[3]
Additive claims
Several product descriptions explicitly state no added salt, preservatives, or artificial flavours. These are product-level marketing claims and may not apply to every formula.[3]
Price positioning
In the Philippine market, Feline Gourmet generally occupies a budget-to-midrange position rather than the premium pricing of specialised veterinary or luxury brands. Recent retail listings indicate:[3]
- 80 g cans around ₱50
- 400 g cans around ₱69–₱99, depending on retailer, recipe, and promotion
- 80 g pouches around ₱46
Prices fluctuate with promotions and retailer, so these figures serve as indicators of market positioning rather than fixed official prices.
Distribution
Feline Gourmet is available through Philippine pet retailers, including Pet Warehouse and other online pet stores. Current listings show a relatively broad flavour selection, although individual recipes can be temporarily out of stock.[3] The brand also appears in mainstream distribution channels; for example, Pet Express listings include 400 g products such as Fresh Tuna & Tender Chicken and Ocean Fish Selection with Squid & Prawn.
Brand strengths
From a consumer perspective, Feline Gourmet’s main strengths include:
- Wide seafood variety: Particularly useful for cats that strongly prefer fish flavours.
- Wet-food format: Provides substantially more moisture than dry kibble.
- Multiple package sizes: Available in 80 g individual servings and 400 g larger cans.
- Relatively accessible pricing: Especially compared with imported premium wet foods.
- Simple flavour proposition: Uses recognisable ingredients like tuna, sardine, mackerel, shrimp, crab, and chicken.
- Pouch expansion: Offers a more convenient packaging option.[3]
Potential limitations
Prospective buyers should consider several factors. First, formulas are not nutritionally identical; guaranteed analyses vary between products, so each recipe should be evaluated individually rather than assuming a uniform nutritional profile.[2][3]
Second, terms such as “natural,” “no preservatives,” or “high protein” do not inherently establish that a food is nutritionally complete and balanced for a particular cat. Owners should verify the nutritional adequacy statement and feeding instructions on the specific packaging.
Third, seafood-heavy diets may not be ideal as the sole long-term choice for every cat. While variety can be beneficial, the appropriate diet depends on the cat’s age, health, energy requirements, and the nutritional completeness of the specific formula.
Feline Gourmet vs. Purina GOURMET
It is important to distinguish between these two entities. Feline Gourmet and GOURMET/PURINA GOURMET are not the same brand. Nestlé describes its GOURMET brand as a premium cat food line originating in Europe in the 1980s, with products such as Gourmet Gold launched in 1995 and Gourmet Perle in 2004.
By contrast, the Feline Gourmet products discussed here are associated with Pet Plus Global Marketing Corp. in the Philippines and are manufactured in Thailand.[1] Despite the similar use of the word “Gourmet,” they should be treated as entirely separate brands.
Summary
Feline Gourmet is a Thailand-made wet cat food brand distributed in the Philippines through Pet Plus Global Marketing Corp. Its identity is built around affordable, palatable seafood and meat recipes, with a large selection of tuna, sardine, mackerel, shrimp, crab, and mixed-seafood formulas. The portfolio spans small 80 g cans, 400 g cans, and, since 2024, an 80 g pouch range.[1]
The brand is best understood as a mainstream, value-oriented wet cat food option characterised by seafood-forward recipes, broad flavour selection, accessible pricing, and basic nutritional benefits for everyday feeding, rather than as a veterinary therapeutic food or the premium European Purina GOURMET brand.
