Where is tiki cat food made

If you have independent stores close by, you could ask if they'll order Rad Cat. I buy locally and get a great deal! Tiki Cat is a very high quality food. I don't really get too nervous about the ingredients since there isn't filler or such in there, and when you see the consistency of the chicken shredded chicken pieces you'll see why it would be fairly hard to hide something.

Not that it couldn't be done, but the quality of the food is very good. It's processed in a human food plant, another reason why it has less chance of being an issue. They have to keep up to those standards, not just a more lax pet food standard. My cats get Tiki's Puka Puka chicken once a day. This chicken is a big favorite of my two cats, with no sign of that changing despite having been fed it daily for over a year.

The calorie density of that is really fairly high even comparing among most canned foods. The fish varieties may be lower, and although the Weruva mentioned is similar in appearance, their chicken variety calorie density is notably lower. You would not need to feed an unusually high amount of the Tiki chicken to meet a cat's food intake needs.

I fret a bit over things that have nothing to do with food quality, such as the fact that it's shipped halfway around the world, or the stories I've read about slave labor in Thailand, most notably in the fishing and fish processing industries.

Not sure if it slips into other food processing, certainly the plant itself is on the up and up but I occasionally wonder about suppliers and how well they are checked out for these practices. At the moment, though, I continue to feed it anyway.

I have no reason to believe that Tiki Cat's owners aren't also as concerned about such practices and acting to make sure their food is not processed by such labor. The biggest knock against Tiki is the cost! This is on the pricey end of cat food to be sure. I have justified it because at its calorie density I have figured out that it costs similar to some other cans that on the surface cost less. The leftover is fed the next morning, and they enjoy it all the same even as leftovers I warm it somewhat by immersing in warm water, but I think they would just as easily eat it cold out of the fridge!

Joined Nov 17, Messages 1, Purraise Well as you mentioned, Thailand is not China - Thailand actually has very strict government control and oversight protocols.

We were shown a video of the "hand crafted" food, where the workers wore little masks and gloves. My only concern, as 2bcat astutely pointed out, would be the issue of slave labor in Thailand, primarily within the fishing industry. When the lawsuit was made public, Weruva immediately put out a detailed announcement on their site indicating their fish supplier in Thailand did not engage in such criminal and illegal practices.

I didn't follow TC's reponse to the suit, or if they made an announcement but you could certainly contact them or see if there is info on their site somewhere about TC's fish supplier. Aside from it also being a pity that more foods are not sourced and manufactured here in the US, other than some meats, e. Last edited: Feb 15, Kat Advisor Staff Member. I feed a lot of Weruva, it's excellent food for the price and I've never had an issue with it. I would not order from Amazon there aren't any reputable sellers on there for Weruva.

I order from Chewy. I do order other foods from Amazon that Amazon carries in their warehouse. Kat said:. Amazon does sell Weruva themselves. I have bought it from them without issue. Somebody has to do something to fix this. The woman at Chewy was super-nice and helpful. The Chewy customer service was super helpful and refunded my purchase right away.

Like most cat food companies, Tiki Cat prices their dry food lower than their wet recipes. With some of their foods offering zero carbohydrate content, Tiki Cat foods are an excellent option for cats with diabetes or IBD. In particular, the After Dark line is an outstanding choice. Considering that the brand has never been recalled, Tiki Cat appears to be both nutritionally superior and trustworthy. On the negative side, Tiki Cat foods are more expensive than most.

Multiple cat homes or those with large or active cats will spend even more. Tiki Cat is available in independent pet stores and chains. Use their store locator to find a retailer near you.
