Re: Recession menue: supermarket brands

Have a read of the link below for more information on that argument:

Feeding Your Cat: Know the Basics of Feline Nutrition :: healthy cat diet, making cat food, litter box, cat food, cat nutrition, cat urinary tract health

Thanks for a good link. I am sure that wet food is better for cats but it is good to have more arguments. And I like those tricks to make stubborn cats eat wet food. I am going to use Parmesan cheese on Animonda wet food cos my cat doesn't like it much.

Re: Recession menue: supermarket brands

I can't add much to this other than be very careful with the super cheap wet foods. Early 2000's some point my dad was out of work for a month and my parents poor cat Ducks got fed on some super cheap Lidl's stuff until her bonnie fur started falling out It took her ages to get back to normal when they swapped her food back. I'll see if they remember what it was but she didn't seem to have any allergies to anything else she had and she had just about everything.

Re: Recession menue: supermarket brands

I can understand your dilema. Vogue is very picky and have tried many of the brands some with more success than others and have found that the brands with higher meat content she goes off in a very short time.

I have found that she consistantly eats some of the less meat brands, ( she was on quite a poor diet when I bought her)

What I try to do is suplement her diet with raw, (she wont eat dry of any sort) Chicken wings are cheap so I alternate between the tins and chicken wings but she also gets what ever the family have. I just take off some beef, pork, prawns before cooking for the family.

She has a lovely glossy coat, certainly seems in good health and perect teeth.


Hope this is of some help

Re: Recession menue: supermarket brands

Some of them are more finicky than the others, fortunately about half of them will gobble up whatever I put in front of them But even the finicky ones will eat this food, but not the other cheap brands I can afford, so I guess even though it's probably mostly animal by-products it appeals to them more than foods with grain fillers. I am trying to manage one raw meal daily for diversity (that is still their favorite food!)
