Re: Cat Food, want to know what you are feeding your cat?

There is only one other website but its more expensive, zzoplus has sold out of 7kg bag which works out quite cheap, more being delivered 6/5/08 have bought the smaller bag.

I still prefer wet food to dry to be honest but i give her abit of both which is what she is used to.

What wet food do you feed? I give mine raw meat instead of cans/pouches.

What's the other website for Orijen?

Re: Cat Food, want to know what you are feeding your cat?

I'm very disapointed, just got royal canin baby 34 on the post today

I got the ingredients for baby 34 from the Australian website (uk doesn't have them listed)


INGREDIENTS: Chicken meal, rice, corn gluten meal, corn, chicken fat (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract and citric acid), chicken, dried egg powder, natural chicken flavor, pea fiber, beet pulp, salmon oil, dried brewers yeast, sodium silico aluminate, potassium chloride, chicory extract, choline chloride, sodium chloride, L-lysine, brewers yeast extract (Saccharomyces cerevisiae
fermentation solubles), calcium carbonate, sodium tripolyphosphate, taurine, Vitamins [dl-alpha tocopherol (source of vitamin E), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C*), niacin, biotin, riboflavin (vitamin B2), d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin B12 supplement, folicacid, vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement], Trace Minerals [zinc proteinate, zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate], marigold extract.


But on the packaging i got it's slightly differentit doesn't have cornconfused: i wonder if they make it different depending on the country. According to the article on the first post the legislation in europe is more strict

ingredients from my packaging:

dehydrated poultry meat (not meal) , animal fats, rice, vegetable protein isolate, maize flour, hydrolysed animal proteins, vegetable fibres, yeasts, beet pulp, L-lysine, soya oil, fish oil, minerals, fruto-oligo-saccharids, egg powder, yeast extract, L-carnitine.

Protein 34% - fat 25% - Ash 6.7% - fiber 2%

still not great


So is orijen the only good cat food in the market? (

Re: Cat Food, want to know what you are feeding your cat?

Well 10kg does my lot for just short of 2 weeks, so 7kg will prob last your one a lifetime and go stale after being open for a while eek:

Re: Cat Food, want to know what you are feeding your cat?

Or get two lots of 2.5kg and just open one. It wont go stale until its opened or an airtight container would be good too
