Frequently asked questions

Who makes Cesar pet food?

Cesar is manufactured by Mars Petcare.

Where is Cesar made?

Cesar pet food is made in US.

When was Cesar founded?

Cesar was founded in 1985.

Is Cesar WSAVA-aligned?

Cesar is not on our WSAVA-aligned shortlist. That doesn't automatically mean the food is poor quality — many strong brands haven't pursued WSAVA recognition — but it means we lack independent confirmation of feeding-trial validation and on-staff veterinary nutritionist staffing.

Has Cesar ever been recalled?

No Cesar products match any FDA recall in our tracked feed. Two caveats worth stating plainly: our feed covers FDA recall notices from late 2025 onward, so a recall older than that would not appear here; and brand matching is deliberately conservative, so a recall naming a parent company or a co-manufacturer rather than Cesar itself may not be linked. For a definitive answer, check the FDA's own recall database.

How does Cesar score in our analysis?

Cesar averages 73/100 across 56 products in our catalog. Individual product scores combine ingredient quality, AAFCO compliance, and controversial-additive severity. See the methodology page for the full algorithm.
