Good quality shreaded wet food?

I bought Animonda Carny but my cats really do not like it, they only like wet food that is shredded like the Felix Sensations but I don't want to feed them that.

I tried Natures Menu but that was just like mush.

My cat and kitten are very fussy

Sorry I typed shredded wrong in the title, lol! I have a chunky kitten sitting on my wrists as I type, lol!

Re: Good quality shreaded wet food?

I´m interested in the answers you get as I have a similar problem My cat only likes shredded and chunks (you can´t imagine the diff food I´ve tried and he just refuses them or scrathes the floor next to his bowl). I just got him Weruva and Blue Buffalo also ordered Ziwipeak.

New2cats,

I know the feeling I took more than 90 tins to the cat rescue center 2 weeks ago. Merlin also like gourmet and hills but after reading so much I really want him to have the best, so I´m trying again with Weruva and Blue buffalo (fingers crossed)

Re: Good quality shreaded wet food?

I can't recommend food but thanks for the idea of giving unwanted food to cat rescue centres - I have an almost full box of "SoFishy" Biffy won't touch!

Re: Good quality shreaded wet food?

, I´m glad it´s not just me. Most of my friends think I´m crazy as I search for the best food for Merlin but I feel the better I care for him the better he will last and in a good condition.

Re: Good quality shreaded wet food?

To be honest, there aren't any good quality shredded foods for two reasons: they are either complementary foods (Applaws, almo nature, half of Cosma, a lot of schesiR, a lot of feline fayre).

Some are allegedly complete foods (Feline Fayre says that the black pouches are complete foods but personally I am dubious going by their analyses and they didn't respond to my queries) but those that are suffer from not containing enough fat, taurine etc.

One of those, Porta 21, is apparently changing its declaration from complete to complementary though the Porta 21 holisitic range is shredded meat and complete. So, perhaps try that but it is expensive.


Merlin, the Ziwipeak is pate. So if your cat doesn't like pate foods, I doubt it will like that. But one lives in hope, I guess....

lol Hobbs, I asked before ordering and they told me they were chunks, good think I ordered only 1 tin to try. I also ordered their dry food that seems to have good reviews, however it is so expensive almost 10 euros for 400 gramms.

Re: Good quality shreaded wet food?

Well, I guess you could cut the tinned pate into "chunks" if you wanted but it isn't what I would call traditional "chunks" (i.e. compacted meat and stuff).

Yes, their dry food looks interesting but at the end of the day it is still dry food - ie. not containing enough moisture though the ingredients are kind of neat.

Re: Good quality shreaded wet food?

Yes Hobbs, I´m all for canned food 100%, Dr Pierson made it clear to me when I consulted her, I just can´t feed him at meal times when I work but at weekends he gets wet 3 times a day. I just want to find the best dry and wet. Pity Merlin has such fixed ideas
