PetMarra fine pates 80g wet pouch review

At around ₱34 as of August 1, 2026 for 80g, roughly ₱425 a kilo. This is the texture specialist in PetMarra’s range, and texture is a better reason to buy a cat food than most people assume.

A pate is for the cat who leaves the solids

Cats are particular about texture in a way they are not about much else, and the most common complaint in this whole category is a cat that licks the gravy clean and abandons the chunks in the bowl.

A fine pate removes the problem by removing the distinction. There is nothing to separate, so the cat either eats it or does not, and most do.

It also suits three specific cats: an older one whose jaw is not what it was, one with dental pain or missing teeth, and one recovering from anything that has left it eating carefully. A soft paste asks nothing of the mouth.

The one texture claim to ignore

Kibble does not clean a cat’s teeth in any meaningful way. Most cats crush a biscuit rather than chew through it, and the idea that dry food is dental care has outlived the evidence for it.

So switching to a pate costs your cat nothing dentally. Dental care in cats is brushing, vet checks and, when needed, a proper cleaning under anaesthetic. It is not a food decision.

Where it sits on price

Within PetMarra, this is the second most expensive wet food per kilo. The PetMarra meat loaf 80g pouch is about ₱362 a kilo and the PetMarra meat loaf 375g can about ₱197.

The can is a smooth loaf too, so if your cat is an adult and your fridge is reliable, it is the same solution at well under half the money. This pouch earns its premium on portion control: one serve, nothing stored, nothing wasted in a warm kitchen.

Named proteins, and the usual silence

Oceanfish, tuna and chicken are named, and the pouch is labelled for kittens and adults, which is more than the brand’s cans offer.

No crude protein, fat or moisture figure is published, so the comparison you can make against other foods stops at format and price.

Who should buy the fine pates pouch

Buy this if you have a gravy-licker, an older cat, or one with dental trouble, and you want a single serve rather than a can to store. On texture alone it solves a problem money cannot otherwise fix.

Skip it if your cat happily eats chunks, where cheaper formats do the same job.

Smoother, cheaper, or better documented

For the same smooth idea at half the price per kilo, see the PetMarra meat loaf 375g can. For a chunky recipe with a published analysis, the SmartHeart tuna with chunky sardine 400g is the opposite texture and prints its numbers.
