Special Cat canned cat food 400g review

Nothing is wrong with this can. The problem is that the identical can sits on this site at a lower price with a longer record behind it.

Start with the other listing

At around ₱88 as of August 1, 2026 for 400g, this is roughly ₱220 a kilo, on 2,945 Shopee ratings.

The Special Cat 400g wet can from a different shop is around ₱80 on the same date, with 10,634 ratings. Same brand, same size, same all-stages claim, less money and a much larger sample of buyers.

There is no reason to pay more for the same can, so treat this listing as the fallback for when the cheaper shop is out of stock or the shipping works out better.

Fish, unspecified

The listing names fish as the protein and leaves it there. No species, no ingredient list, no crude protein, no fat, no moisture.

For most healthy adult cats that is survivable, because this is sold as a complete and balanced food for all life stages and the formulation claim is what carries it. It becomes a real problem in one case: a cat who reacts badly to a particular fish. Food sensitivities in cats are usually to a specific protein, and you cannot avoid an ingredient a label will not name.

If that is your cat, buy something that prints its ingredients, whatever it costs.

Where a big cheap can earns its place

Around ₱220 a kilo is a fair price for wet food, and the case for the format is strongest in a multi-cat house. Two or three cats finish a 400g can in one sitting, which means the low price per kilo arrives with no storage problem attached.

One cat and a 400g can is three or four meals, so it has to be covered, refrigerated, and used inside about a day. In a warm kitchen, an opened can left on the counter through a working day is not worth serving.

The rating is Shopee’s, and it is nearly useless for ranking

This can rates 4.9. So does almost everything else in this category. When the entire shelf sits between 4.8 and 5.0, the score has stopped separating anything, and the sensible thing to compare is what each listing is prepared to publish.

On that measure this can is mid-pack: it states a life stage and a protein type, and nothing else.

Who should buy this listing

Buy this if the cheaper Special Cat listing is unavailable, you feed more than one cat, and you want a large can at a low price per kilo.

Otherwise buy the other one and spend the difference on something else.

Cans with more on the label

For a can that publishes protein and moisture at a lower price per kilo, see the Maxwell real tuna 400g can. For the cheapest large can on this page, the CARTY 430g can is under half the price and equally quiet about its contents.
