Whiskas senior cat food
Whiskas 7+ is the brand's senior cat food range, aimed at cats from around seven years old onward, and covers both wet pouches and dry kibble. Senior formulas across the pet food market generally adjust for a slower metabolism, changing dental needs and, in some cases, joint support compared with an adult recipe, and Whiskas 7+ follows that same general approach.
What changes in a senior formula
Older cats often eat less overall and can be pickier, so senior wet food ranges tend to lean on strong flavour and softer textures — the Whiskas 7+ pouches follow that pattern with gravy and jelly options designed to be easy to eat for a cat whose teeth or appetite are not what they once were.
Calorie content is also typically adjusted downward slightly compared with a standard adult recipe, since many senior cats are less active, though this varies between individual cats and is not a reason to switch automatically at a set age regardless of your cat's actual condition and activity level.
Wet, dry, or both
The wet pouches in the 7+ range suit cats who need extra moisture in their diet or who prefer a softer texture, which becomes more common as cats age. The dry 7+ kibble is formulated to the same general senior life stage but suits owners who prefer the convenience and dental benefits some dry food offers.
Many owners feed a mix of both, and there is nothing wrong with that provided the overall diet remains complete and balanced rather than accidentally over- or under-feeding by combining two different guideline amounts without adjusting either down.

Common questions
- At what age should I switch my cat to a senior food?
- Around seven years old is the general guide most senior ranges, including Whiskas 7+, are built around, but it is not a strict cut-off. A healthy, active seven-year-old cat may not need to switch immediately, so use it as a guide alongside how your cat is actually doing.
- Does Whiskas senior food help with joint problems in older cats?
- Whiskas 7+ is formulated broadly for the changing needs of an older cat rather than being a specific joint-care or medicinal product. If your cat has a diagnosed joint condition, speak to your vet about whether a more targeted diet or supplement would help alongside their regular food.
- Can I mix Whiskas 7+ with my cat's current adult food during a switch?
- Yes, mixing the two gradually over a week or so, increasing the proportion of the new food each day, is the sensible way to change any cat's diet and helps avoid the stomach upset a sudden switch can cause.
