Whiskas feeding guide
Whiskas is a well-known UK cat food brand spanning kitten, adult and senior wet and dry ranges, and every pack carries its own feeding guide based on your cat's weight and life stage. We stock a selection across the range, and the guide printed on whichever pack you buy is the right starting point for how much to feed.
How the feeding guide on the pack works
Whiskas, like most cat food brands, prints a feeding guide on the pack that gives a recommended daily amount based on your cat's weight, usually shown as a table or range rather than a single fixed number. It is designed as a starting point, not an exact prescription for every individual cat.
Because wet and dry foods differ hugely in calorie density, the guide on a pouch of wet food and the guide on a bag of dry kibble will give very different-looking numbers for the same size cat — always follow the guide on the specific product you are feeding rather than assuming the numbers carry across.
What we stock, and adjusting the amount
Our range includes a selection of Whiskas wet pouches, trays and dry food across the kitten, adult and senior lines, and what is shown in the grid above reflects what is currently available to order rather than the brand's entire catalogue.
The printed guide is a starting point, and your cat's actual body condition should be what adjusts it from there — a cat gaining weight on the recommended amount needs less than the pack suggests, and one that seems constantly hungry and losing weight may need more or may need a vet check to rule out an underlying cause.
When to check in with your vet
If you are ever unsure how much to feed, or your cat has a health condition that affects their diet, your vet can give guidance tailored to your specific cat rather than the general figures on a pack. This matters especially for kittens, senior cats, and any cat with a known medical condition.
A sudden change in appetite, weight, or interest in food is also worth mentioning at a check-up, since it can be an early sign of several conditions that are worth ruling out rather than managing through diet alone.

Common questions
- How much Whiskas should I feed my cat?
- Follow the feeding guide printed on the specific pack you are using, based on your cat's weight, as a starting point. Adjust from there based on your cat's actual body condition, and ask your vet if you are ever unsure.
- Is wet or dry Whiskas better for my cat?
- Both are complete foods when fed according to the guide, and the right choice comes down to your cat's preference and any specific needs, such as extra moisture intake for a cat prone to urinary issues. Your vet can advise if you are choosing between them for a health reason.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the full Whiskas range?
- We stock a selection from across the Whiskas kitten, adult and senior lines rather than every product the brand makes. What is available can change as stock does, so check the grid above for what we currently have.
- When should I switch my cat to Whiskas senior food?
- There is no single fixed age, since it varies between individual cats. Your vet is best placed to advise when a switch to a senior recipe makes sense based on your cat's age, weight and general health.
