CARTY wet cat food 430g can review

At around ₱43 as of August 1, 2026 for 430g, this is roughly ₱100 a kilo, which makes it the cheapest large can of wet cat food on this page by a wide margin.

The cheapest food here, and the water that explains it

A price per kilo of wet food is not comparable to a price per kilo of kibble, and this can is the clearest place to say why.

A wet can runs around 80% moisture. Kibble runs around 10%. So a kilo of this can contains roughly 200g of actual food, while a kilo of dry contains about 900g. Correct for that and ₱100 a kilo of can is closer to ₱500 a kilo of food, against roughly ₱125 for the Nutricare 1kg dry on the same basis.

None of this makes wet food a bad buy. Moisture is the main reason to feed it: cats evolved to get water from prey, many of them drink too little, and a wet diet is one of the practical things you can do about it. It does mean nobody should read a low price per can as a low price per meal.

Mixed meat, which is not an ingredient

The listing gives the protein as mixed meat, a life stage of all stages, and a weight. There is no species, no ingredient list, and no crude protein, fat or moisture figure.

Mixed meat is a category, not an ingredient, and it is the one thing a cat with a food sensitivity most needs to know. If your cat has ever reacted badly to a food, this is not where to experiment.

Where the low price genuinely wins

Two households should be looking hard at this can. Anyone feeding several cats or a colony, where the difference between ₱100 and ₱200 a kilo across a month is real money. And anyone trying to get more water into a cat who will not drink, where the cheapest complete wet food that the cat will eat is exactly the right answer.

For both, a 430g can is one sitting rather than a fridge problem, which removes the usual objection to large cans.

The 4.8 is the lowest score in this category

Almost everything here sits at 4.9 or 5.0, and this can rates 4.8 across 2,456 Shopee ratings. In a shelf this uniform, a tenth of a point is not evidence of much, but it is the only visible difference between this and its neighbors, so it is worth noting rather than hiding.

Who should buy the CARTY can

Buy this if you feed several cats, you want the lowest cost per gram of wet food available, and your cats are healthy adults with no known food reactions.

Skip it if you need to know what is in the can, or if a kitten will be eating it.
