Frequently asked questions

Who makes Friskies pet food?

Friskies is manufactured by Nestlé Purina PetCare.

Where is Friskies made?

Friskies pet food is made in US.

When was Friskies founded?

Friskies was founded in 1934.

Is Friskies WSAVA-aligned?

Friskies 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 Friskies ever been recalled?

No Friskies 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 Friskies itself may not be linked. For a definitive answer, check the FDA's own recall database.
