Wanpy Cat Food and Treats Product List

Wanpy makes cat food, and the range here covers all four formats: grain-free dry food, wet pouches and paste cans, creamy treats and freeze-dried toppers.

Everything sits under Cat Food. The sections below group it by format, and the later ones cover the things that decide whether a cat does well on any of it — portion size, water, and what is genuinely dangerous.

Grain-Free Dry Food

Kitten, adult and sterilised are different formulas

A kitten needs more energy and protein per mouthful than an adult, and a kitten fed adult food grows more slowly than it should. Kittens usually move to adult food around a year old.

A sterilised formula is lower in calories, because neutering lowers a cat’s energy requirement noticeably while its appetite stays the same. Feeding a neutered adult the ordinary formula at the same volume is one of the commonest routes to a fat cat.

Store dry food properly once the bag is open

Fat in kibble goes rancid, and heat and humidity speed that up. Keep the bag rolled and clipped inside an airtight container rather than tipping the food loose into a bin — the bag carries the batch number and the date.

Buy a size the household will finish in a few weeks. A 1.5kg bag is not a saving if the last third is stale.

Pouches and Paste

Wet food is where cats get most of their water

This is the most useful fact on the page. Cats evolved in dry country and have a weak thirst drive, so a cat on dry food alone often drinks less than it needs. Wet food is roughly three-quarters water, which is why it matters well beyond taste.

Low water intake is associated with urinary and kidney problems, and those are among the commonest serious illnesses in cats. Including some wet food, or feeding it entirely, is a reasonable thing to do for that reason alone.

An opened pouch does not keep long

Refrigerate what is left, covered, and use it within a day. Serve it at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge, because cold food is less palatable and harder on the stomach.

Throw away what has been left in the bowl for more than an hour in this climate, and wash the bowl rather than topping it up.

Paste Cans

Rotate the flavours before a cat fixes on one

Cats can become strongly attached to a single texture or flavour, and a cat that will eat only one thing is a problem the day that thing is out of stock or a vet asks for a diet change.

Offering two or three flavours in rotation from the start avoids it, and this range makes that easy.

Creamy Treats

Treats count towards the daily food, and they are not a meal

The usual guide is that treats should stay under about a tenth of what a cat eats in a day, with the rest coming from a complete food. A creamy treat is a supplement in the literal sense: it is not formulated to be fed on its own.

The most common way a cat becomes overweight is a household where several people each give a treat and nobody counts. Agree who feeds and keep the packet out of reach.

Where a treat earns its place

Giving medicine, getting a nervous cat into a carrier, rewarding a nail trim, or simply time spent with a cat that does not like being held. A lickable treat is one of the few things most cats will take from a hand.

The hairball, skin-and-coat and joint variants are treats with an added ingredient, not treatments. A cat with persistent hairballs, a poor coat or difficulty jumping needs a vet.

Freeze-Dried Treats and Toppers

A topper is for a cat that has gone off its food

Scattered over a normal meal it makes the meal more interesting, which is useful with a fussy eater or a cat recovering from illness. It is added to a complete food rather than replacing part of it.

Offer a little water alongside anything freeze-dried, since it contains almost none.

How Much to Feed

More cats are harmed by being overfed than by anything else in this category, and it happens slowly enough that nobody notices.

Measure it, and feed to the cat rather than to the bag

The figure on the pack is a starting point for an average cat of that weight, not an instruction. Use a measuring cup or scales rather than filling a bowl by eye, and adjust after a few weeks based on the cat.

You should be able to feel the ribs easily under a thin layer, and see a waist when looking down. If you cannot, the portion is too large.

Why an overweight cat matters

It raises the risk of diabetes, arthritis and urinary problems, and it makes a cat less able to groom its own back end. A large share of pet cats are above a healthy weight and most owners do not think theirs is.

Weight loss in a cat must be slow and supervised by a vet. Crash dieting a cat is genuinely dangerous and can cause serious liver disease.

Changing Food

Switch over a week or more rather than overnight. A quarter new to three-quarters old for a couple of days, then half and half, then three-quarters, then all.

A sudden change is the usual cause of the diarrhoea that gets blamed on the new food. Going slowly also gives a cat time to accept the new texture, which matters more to cats than the flavour does.

Foods to Keep Away From a Cat

Several ordinary household foods are genuinely toxic to cats, and the doses are smaller than people expect.

The main ones

Onion, garlic, leek and shallot in any form, including powder in cooked food, damage red blood cells. Chocolate, caffeine, grapes and raisins, alcohol, and the sweetener xylitol are all dangerous. Raw dough is too.

Cooked bones splinter. Most adult cats do not digest cow’s milk well and it causes diarrhoea rather than being a treat.

Dog food is not a substitute

Cats require taurine in their diet and dogs make their own, so dog food does not contain enough. A cat fed dog food for an extended period can develop heart disease and blindness, and both can be permanent.

Feeding it once will not do that. Feeding it as the regular diet will.

When a Cat Needs a Vet

Two situations in this area are emergencies and both are routinely underestimated.

A cat that stops eating

A cat that has eaten nothing for a day or two needs seeing, and an overweight one sooner. Cats mobilise fat to the liver when they stop eating, and that can cause a serious and sometimes fatal liver condition within days.

This is not like a dog skipping a meal. Not eating is itself the emergency, whatever caused it.

Straining in the litter tray

A cat, particularly a male, going in and out of the tray, crying, straining and producing little or nothing may have a blocked bladder. That is fatal within a day or two and needs emergency care immediately.

It is often mistaken for constipation. Drinking more, urinating more, sudden weight loss or vomiting repeatedly also need a vet promptly.

Where Wanpy Sits on Arogga

This page collects one brand. The shelves collect one format across brands, which is the comparison to make when a flavour here is unavailable.

Bag and pouch sizes change, and a flavour can disappear from a format while staying in another. Everything also sits under Cat.

About Wanpy

Wanpy makes cat food across four formats — grain-free dry food, wet pouches and paste cans, lickable creamy treats and freeze-dried toppers — with separate kitten, adult and sterilised dry formulas.

The creamy treats are the widest part of the range and the grain-free dry food is the part most people arrive looking for.

People reach this brand almost entirely by searching Wanpy cat food rather than the brand name alone, and rarely by an individual product.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Should I feed wet food, dry food or both?

Either can be complete, and including some wet food is worth doing for the water. Cats have a weak thirst drive and often drink too little on dry food alone, and low water intake is associated with urinary and kidney problems — among the commonest serious illnesses in cats.

2. How much should I feed?

Start from the figure on the pack, measure it rather than filling a bowl by eye, and adjust after a few weeks based on the cat. You should be able to feel the ribs easily under a thin layer and see a waist from above. If you cannot, the portion is too large.

3. What is a sterilised formula for?

Neutering lowers a cat’s energy requirement noticeably while its appetite stays the same, so a sterilised formula is lower in calories. Feeding a neutered adult the ordinary formula at the same volume is one of the commonest routes to an overweight cat.

4. How many treats a day is reasonable?

Under about a tenth of what the cat eats in a day, with the rest from a complete food. Creamy treats are not formulated to be fed on their own. The usual problem is a household where several people each give one and nobody counts.

5. How do I change my cat’s food?

Over a week or more. A quarter new to three-quarters old for a couple of days, then half, then three-quarters, then all. A sudden change is the usual cause of the diarrhoea that gets blamed on the new food, and it gives the cat time to accept the texture.

6. Which human foods are dangerous for cats?

Onion, garlic, leek and shallot in any form including powder in cooked food, chocolate, caffeine, grapes and raisins, alcohol, xylitol and raw dough. Cooked bones splinter, and most adult cats do not digest cow’s milk well.

7. Can a cat eat dog food?

Not as a regular diet. Cats need taurine from their food while dogs make their own, so dog food does not contain enough, and a cat fed it for an extended period can develop heart disease and blindness — both potentially permanent. One accidental meal will not.

8. My cat has stopped eating. Is that urgent?

Yes. A cat that has eaten nothing for a day or two needs seeing, and an overweight one sooner, because cats mobilise fat to the liver when they stop eating and that can cause serious liver disease within days. Straining in the litter tray with little or no urine is also an emergency.
