Butchers Choice Cat Food

There was an article about this company in one of the Sunday newspapers. The article said that it this firm made good quality dog food without added gluten etc.

So I emailed them and asked whether they did the same for cats. This their reply:

The quick answer to your question is 'Yes' we do make cat food too...we have been making our Butcher's Classic Cat food for years, it is a great food that completely follows our all natural ethos with no Soya, cereals, bulking agents, gluten, preservatives, artificial flavouring or colourings. Classic comes highly recommended by vets, breeders and cat owners like yourself looking for a more natural dinner.

As we are predominately known as a dog food company and Classic sort of ticks over by itself we don't have the website up and running and advertising is...well, to be honest...nil! Our office is a serious advocate for the underdog (excuse the phrase) and it is starting to rub off on our marketing team...cat food is being reviewed and hopefully the line will be extended at some point in the future...so, watch this space!

We deal mainly with retail distribution centres and large wholesale networks therefore we do not have access to which individual outlets stock which products. I can confirm we currently supply a number of the major supermarkets with a range of Multi-packs as follows:

12 CAN MEAT & FISH VARIETY PACK
Asda
Sainsbury
Pets at Home

6 CAN MEAT Variety Pack
Asda
Sainsbury
Nisa

6 CAN FISH Variety Pack
Wilkinson
Waitrose
Asda
Sainsbury

Please find listed individual retailers Customer Services telephone for you to phone directly: Asda - 0500 100055, Sainsbury - 0800 636262, Waitrose - 0800 188 884. Classic is also due to be stocked in Tesco's nationwide as of November 2008.

I hope this information helps you find a local stockist and a new favourite dinner for your cat very soon.

Best of luck

Well i've never seen that in Asda, lol, you live and learn I used to feed it to the dog at one time, but he stopped eating it, but then he's fussy
Thanks for that info Jane

yes, my cats used to like the meat flavours but the food didn't suit my cats. gave them the runs.

I didn't know they did cat food. I've seen the dog food but will have to look out for cat's.

Classic is recommended for cats with gingivitis, as colours and preservatives have been found to aggrevate the condition and Classic doesn't contain any of those.

yes, this isn't a bad food, it's difficult to get hold of in supermarkets though - the only place i can get it locally is Wilkinson's. My Asda used to have it, but not any more.

I have found the local Waitrose stocks the fish variety.

It costs just under £3 for 6 cans @ 400g each

So far cats like it.

Can you tell me who makes Classic cat food and were can I buy it??

I sometimes feed this food to my cats, I can get it in my local Sainsburys.

It is very good and reasonably priced. My cats don't like the fish varieties much but love the meaty ones.

It's advertised on the ASDA website. I don't know about any other supermarkets, stores that sell it.

Thats what the cans look like.
