A month ago, I introduced my cat Pepper to mixed feeding. Instead of feeding him one or the other, we let Pepper have both wet and dry food every day. After learning about the health and nutritional benefits that mixed feeding offers, the decision was a no-brainer, and of course, Pepper was happy about the variety of flavours and textures.

Getting started was easy – in addition to wet food twice a day, we added a small bowl of dry food at night. We also switched to Whiskas Perfect Portions wet cat food, which helped us make sure that Pepper’s food is always fresh. Perfect Portions was a great choice for us, since the main ingredient is always a protein like fish, chicken, or beef, and the packs are super convenient to use.

We hoped that mixed feeding and Perfect Portions would help Pepper lose a bit of excess weight, and things were going great for the first few weeks…until we went on vacation. Two weeks later, we came back to find a much plumper Pepper, all thanks to le bf’s mom spoiling him with “all you can eat” buffet of food. Despite this little setback, I’m sure that we’ll get Pepper back on track by using the adorable measuring cup I picked up for dry food, and Perfect Portions wet food. And thanks to mixed feeding, I know he’ll be getting the best nutrition possible along the way. And because Pepper is a generous cat, we partnered up with Whiskas to give away one amazing mixed feeding care package, full of delicious food and toys for your furry best friend.

If you’ve been following this site for a while, you already know that I’m a proud cat lady. A couple of years ago, I wrote about adopting my cat Pepper; he’s been with me for 9 years now, and is a very important member of our family. When we first brought Pepper home, dry kibble was our choice of cat food – mostly because it seemed like the most convenient choice – dry food is easy to put out and won’t make your house smell like cat food. After a couple of years, I learned about health issues that male cats can develop from eating exclusively dry food (urethral obstruction for one), and we quickly switched him to wet food. Pepper was more than happy to switch to wet food…perhaps a bit too much, as he steadily gained weight and grew a rather sizeable belly. So when we were invited to participate in the Mixed Feeding program, I was really excited for Pepper to try the new food and see if we can help him lose a bit of weight in the process.

Over the next few weeks, we will feed Pepper both wet and dry food using Whiskas Perfect Portions and Whiskas Meaty Selections, as feeding both types of cat food offers a more nutritionally balanced and complete diet. Dry food is a concentrated energy source, and its crunchy texture helps maintain pets’ oral health, while wet food’s high moisture content supports proper organ function and a healthy urinary tract. Together, I hope that this diet will provide Pepper with the best nutrition and help him lose a bit of excess weight.
