I suppose if she mostly had one of the Nature diets as her main meal and then the Asda tuna food every now and then it would make the more expensive stuff go further!

Re: Good quality wet cat food!

Just wanted to say a quick thank-you for the feedback! I'm reading up all I can on her condition, so the link was greatly appreciated. I'll obviously consult my vet before I try to change anything drastically in her diet.

In the meantime, I'm moving my youngest cat over to wet food in an attempt to avoid the same thing happening to her. She's not keen... It took about six hours of putting bowls of wet food out and taking them away again whenever she gave me a "You must be joking!" kind of look instead of tucking in. Eventually she seemed to realise it was that or nothing, although the tough love approach doesn't come naturally to me!

Re: Good quality wet cat food!

Hi
When I have looked for a better food in the supermarkets as they are only kittens yet there is very little choice ,
I want to give them a variety of foods so they don't get fussy ( not all at once and little bits )
so a lot of the food with higher meat content are for older cats .

Re: Good quality wet cat food!

have you tried phoning these companies and asking about their brands, they might send you some freebies to try out before buying in bulk? i know someone who rang Applaws to ask about their ingrediants etc and ended up with some free tins being sent.
