shredded type food

I am sorry, I know this has been asked before but need to double check!
Millie has a voracious appetite....but is fussy. Sigh. She will only really eat the sainsburys shredded chicken or tuna food. ( similar to applaws texture, but not the encore range)...which cost a blimmin fortune at 60p for 85g.
I had thought that Porta 21 did a shredded type food, but eh pics on Zooplus are not too clear. Can anyone confirm this? Or offer any other alternatives?

Re: shredded type food

Sorry PP can't comment on the others but correct me if I'm wrong but I *think* Schmusy is another shredded food.

Re: shredded type food

Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware - most shredded type foods are normally only complementary

ETA: Saying that, I did once when P@H were out of stock of Purely, have to feed their own brand complete food (it came in a silver box) which I thought was going to be pate consistency, but turned out to be shredded - although I've just looked on their website for this and can't find it, so perhaps they've stopped making it. Probably wouldn't work out much cheaper than what you're paying for the Sainsbury's stuff either come to think of it.

Re: shredded type food

Agree with Dante. Most, if not all, of those shredded type foods are complementary imo. For starters, none contain a good amount of fat, and the mineral and vitamin analyses are all pretty unconvincing.

Porta 21 used to have a "complete" label but that was recently changed to complementary. They do a holistic range, which allegedly is complete - very pricey though.

Doesn't tesco do a shredded something too?

I presume you have tried weaning her off that type of food with the usual barrage of tricks us humans have recourse to?

Re: shredded type food

feline fayre are shredded but again Hobbs has said before that the nutritional info isn't that clear although they are marked as complete food.
