Purina Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Collection

Purina Fancy Feast is a premium line of wet cat food that has become a staple in the pet care industry globally, including in New Zealand. The brand is part of the larger Purina portfolio, which traces its origins back to the Ralston Purina Company founded in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, in 1894. Fancy Feast itself was launched as a gourmet cat food option in 1982, revolutionizing the market with its small, single-serve cans and focus on palatable textures like gravy and pâté.

Today, the brand is owned by Nestlé, a Swiss multinational conglomerate, following its acquisition of Ralston Purina in 2001 to form Nestlé Purina PetCare. While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing is highly decentralized to serve global markets. For the New Zealand and Australian markets, Fancy Feast products are often sourced from specialized PetCare facilities in Thailand or Australia, though specific ingredients and specific product lines may be produced in the USA or Europe, depending on the variety and packaging format.

In New Zealand, the brand is managed and distributed by Nestlé New Zealand Limited. As a subsidiary of the world's largest food and beverage company, the brand benefits from extensive research into pet nutrition and sustainability, maintaining its position as a leading choice for gourmet pet meals through deep-rooted historical expertise and modern global supply chains.
