In this aspect this food drives me mad.
On the ingredients, the first ingredient is broth. On Acana, broth is the 3rd ingredient. They are both 3oz but I am assuming here that Fancy Feast is a lot more water weight, so my cats are likely hungry. Acana it is a solid blob of food while Fancy Feast is not.
I feel like with Fancy Feast I might need to feed them 6oz, so double the cost. Still cheaper than Acana though. But I am looking at trying some other food to see if that helps cut down them yelling at me while saving money. Might end up just coming back to this food and feeding more.

Get a screenshot (or Print to PDF) of the Final Review page, right before clicking to submit the order (I always do this - it's easy to do, and easy to delete if final order matches the price I expected).
I had one price on the Final Review page - but the amount charged to my credit card was about 20% higher (and the amount shown in the email confirmation sent, and my PetSmart account, was the higher price).
I had to spend more than 30 minutes on the phone getting the amount credited back, and if I hadn't had the screenshot, I doubt it would have been. Agent said PetSmart changed something about their software, and it's been causing these sorts of problems, as well as confusion because of the way it handles shipping charges (the charged is itemized as a separate line, but the credit back is included in other discounts you get, so customers aren't seeing that the shipping charge was credited back).
My time is valuable. PetSmart is going to lose my business if this happens again. The people designing their software seem incompetent.

That's not a big deal if your cat hasn't started to develop certain diseases, like kidney disease.
But as cats get older, it's better to keep phosphorus content of foods on the lower end, because a lot of cats will develop kidney disease, and typically, there are no clinical or even lab symptoms until kidney disease has progressed quite a bit (Certain lab tests like SDMA try to assess the likelihood of kidney disease developing in the next year or so - the kidneys are really good at compensating in early disease stages, so standard lab tests won't show any definitive signs, but the process of compensating damages the kidneys, so it's a vicious cycle). A diet lower in phosphorus can slow down the progression of kidney disease.
As far as lab tests are concerned: for adult cats, phosphorus levels should be in the bottom half of the reference range. The reference range is for cats across all life stages, and it's ok for kittens to be in the top half. But not adult cats.

The same manufacturer can have options with high and low phosphorus. Even the same brand can - some Fancy Feast flavors are pretty low, while others sky high in phosphorus. You just have to look for each flavor. I take my computer to the pet store & check against the excel spreadsheet (or have the excel spreadsheet open, if I'm purchasing online).

One thing to keep in mind: even if your cat has kidney disease, most importantly, it MUST eat.
All cats can develop very serious health issues if they go just 48 hours without eating - if your cat hasn't eaten for that amount of time, it needs to get to the vet immediately.
So, if you have a very picky cat with advanced kidney disease, and all it will eat is Fancy Feast (high phosphorus options), it's more important that the cat eat ANYTHING (than it is to keep phosphorus levels low in the food).
What I will say is that I wouldn't feed a healthy cat Fancy Feast on a daily basis. I save that for the desperate situations where a cat is ill or has some progressive disease (like kidney disease), where the cat has gotten very picky about eating. And even in those cases, I'll try over time to wean the cat off Fancy Feast and back to a better food.
For these desperate situations, where a cat won't eat, Fancy Feast is definitely something on the list to try. It's known as an option that will get a lot of cats to eat - some people with kidney cats refer to it as "kitty crack".
