Sheba foods contain a combination of named meats and vague items like “fish” and “meat by-products”. Some Sheba recipes contain “added color”, a vague title referring to a variety of FDA-approved color additives, including synthetic dyes.

All Sheba cat foods are sold in twin packs of individually sealed 1.3-ounce servings. Though the portions are small, they enable cat owners to provide fresh entrees without any messy leftovers.

Sheba Perfect Portions are divided among the following product lines:

• Bistro
• Premium Pates
• Cuts in Gravy
• Garden Medleys

This brand also offers a small selection of Meaty Tender Sticks cat treats made with animal proteins like tuna, salmon, and chicken. These treats are soft and chewy which makes them easy to break into pieces. They also come individually wrapped to ensure freshness.

What Do Customers Think of Sheba Cat Food?

Most Sheba reviews are positive. Reviewers like that Sheba food is grain-free, meat-based, and affordable.

That said, Sheba also receives a number of complaints, with most of them revolving around packaging and quality control.

Customers complain that the Purrfect Portions plastic trays are hard to open, messy, and too small. At least two Chewy reviewers said that they found bugs in their Sheba food, but it’s unclear who was at fault or how widespread the problem was. Another trend among negative customer reviews? Green food. Several customers say that, upon opening a package of Sheba, they found that the food was discolored.

Let’s take a look at a few real customer reviews of popular Sheba cat foods.

Positive Reviews

“Jake likes them, I like thar they are grain free, gluten free (no kidding, wheat gluten to thicken sauces is all it takes for Jake to throw it back up – and if you watch, gluten is in some grain free food!), pre-portioned, and that Chewy’s has such a deal on the bigger mixed packs :).” – DebD, reviewing Sheba Perfect Portions Grain-Free Beef Entrée

“She jumps right up to her dish every night waiting to be served. And just a hint, shake it down away from where you open it and the gravy doesn’t come spilling out when you pop them open. I love they are just the right amount. No leftovers to try and seal up and she has a fresh meal every day. I use this to supplement her dry food. I also love that I can get these in just chicken since she turns her nose up at anything fish flavored (never thought I’d see a cat do that).” – Kristi, reviewing Sheba Perfect Portions Roasted Chicken Cuts in Gravy

Negative Reviews

“More difficult to open and juice sprays when you break seal. Canned is cleaner and easier. Plus you get a little more with cans” – khamel, reviewing Sheba Perfect Portions Whitefish & Tuna Entrée

“I got this package today, and I’m giving it 2 stars mainly because my cat only loves this variety so I’ll keep ordering it and the customer service over the phone was fast and simple..but my package today was infested with beettle larva and the smell that came from the package was horrendous. I immediately called and got a new package sent out. Customer service was great but oh my gosh, I’ve never had to deal with something like this. The expiration date on the food was 2019 so I don’t understand why these bugs would be all over this as well as the smell being so bad. I hope to not deal with this again in the future.” – Ollie, reviewing Sheba Perfect Portions Roasted Chicken Slices in Gravy

How Much Does Sheba Cat Food Cost?

Averaging about $26 for a 24-piece case of 2.6-ounce twin packs, Sheba cat food costs about $0.38 per ounce. This puts Sheba in a similar price range as Natural Balance and Blue Buffalo wet foods, but it is more highly rated than both these brands.

To feed the average 10-pound cat Sheba cat food, it would cost between $2.49 and $2.92 per day. It may be most cost effective to use Sheba cat food as a supplemental diet.

Overall, Is Sheba a Good Choice?

Sheba cat food certainly isn’t flawless, but it’s a fairly affordable brand and it’s one of the easiest to find. It’s sold in pet stores as well as grocery stores and general retailers.

This brand primarily uses named sources of animal protein, though there are typically a few vaguely named organ meats and fats included. While Sheba cat foods have been reformulated, they still contain meat and poultry by-products to a certain degree. Despite this, the food remains a popular choice for cats, offering a balance between quality and affordability

Sheba receives primarily positive customer reviews and hasn’t ever been recalled, so it appears to be a reliable, safe brand.
