About Sheba
Sheba was launched in Hamburg, Germany in 1982 as a canned cat food brand and is owned today by Mars, Incorporated, one of the world's largest pet food companies with more than 40 brands in its portfolio. Unlike most major cat food lines, Sheba focuses almost exclusively on wet food, built around meat-forward recipes with minimal starch or plant filler. In 2014 the brand introduced its now-signature Perfect Portions line, a twin-pack tray format that splits a single serving into two individually sealed portions so an owner can peel back one at a time instead of covering and refrigerating a half-used can.
Cats.com's independent review gives Sheba an overall grade of B+ (7.5 out of 10), scoring it particularly well on customer experience and price, and awarding it a 9 out of 10 for recall history: Sheba has never been the subject of a pet food recall. The brand's recipes lean on high-protein, low-carbohydrate formulas with added fish oil, and most varieties are built around named proteins like chicken, salmon, turkey, or tuna. Sheba products are manufactured primarily in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and are sold widely through Walmart, Target, Chewy, and Amazon.

Why we recognized Sheba
The House of Mittens Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our vet-reviewed category guides. Sheba earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: assessed against feline-health criteria, used with real cats, and judged on merit.
Sheba products we rated highly
Sheba Perfect Portions Wet Cat Food Pate, Salmon & Whitefish Variety Pack (twin-pack trays)
One of the wet cat foods we rated highest for portion control in our testing. The twin-pack peel-away trays deliver one fresh serving at a time with no leftover half-can to cover and refrigerate, the format our reviewing veterinarian recommends most for single-cat homes and freshness-sensitive eaters. It's a smooth, grain-free pate with strong palatability and no artificial colors or flavors, complete and balanced for adult maintenance, and the built-in portioning quietly helps with the calorie management most indoor cats need. Backed by tens of thousands of owner reviews for high moisture and mess-free daily feeding.
