SmartHeart Refine 70g adult cat wet pouch review

At around ₱43 as of August 1, 2026 for 70g, this is roughly ₱614 a kilo, which makes it the second most expensive cat food on this page. It is also one of the more honest labels here.

A range is a better answer than a round number

SmartHeart publishes 8 to 10% crude protein, 0.3 to 0.5% fat, and 87 to 90% moisture on this line.

Almost nothing else in this category does that. Most listings either publish a single minimum or publish nothing, and a single minimum on a multi-flavor range has to be pegged to whichever variant is weakest. A range tells you the spread, which is more information, not less.

Correct for the water and you land somewhere around 75 to 80% protein by dry weight. Every dry food on this page that publishes a figure works out near a third, so the pouch is comfortably the more protein-dense food despite the smaller number on the front.

Seventy grams, and what the premium buys

This is the smallest pouch we list in this category. For a cat that eats little and often, a senior, or a small adult, that is a genuine fit: one pouch is one sitting and nothing goes back in the fridge.

For a 4kg adult it is a topper rather than a meal. That cat needs roughly 200 to 250 kcal a day, and a gravy-style pouch of this size carries a small share of it.

Where the same brand is much cheaper

The SmartHeart tuna with chunky sardine 400g can is about ₱205 a kilo on the same date, against ₱614 here. That is roughly a third of the price for a similar published protein level from the same maker.

So the premium is entirely about portioning. If you have two cats, or a fridge you trust, the can does the same nutritional job for a third of the money. If you have one cat and a hot kitchen, the pouch stops you throwing food away, which is its own kind of saving.

Adult only

The label is for adult cats. Kittens need a food formulated for growth, and sharing an adult maintenance pouch is the easy mistake in a household that has both.

Who should buy the Refine pouch

Buy this if you have one small or senior cat, you want a single serve with a published analysis behind it, and you would rather pay more per gram than bin leftovers.

Skip it if you feed several cats or feed wet food as the main diet, where the price per kilo becomes the number that matters.

Cheaper ways to get the same numbers

For the same brand at roughly a third the price per kilo, see the SmartHeart tuna with chunky sardine 400g can. For a single-serve pouch with a full analysis at half this price per kilo, the Goodest 24-pack is the one to compare.
