Wet Food Pouches

We recently stopped using Whiskas pouches and dry food because they were giving our cat scabs, which he was then licking and they became open wounds.

He's an indoor cat so he gets dry food every day and a couple of pouches a week.

We gave him a couple of Hills pouches and he loved them, but every dog and cat thread about Hills says to steer clear of it. So what wet food pouches do people reccommend? Royal Canin and Iams seem are two I was considering.

Thanks

Re: Wet Food Pouches

The best wets are those with a 50% + meat content. There are several you can buy in Supermarkets or in P@H, or online at somewhere like Zooplus for a wider range of foods.

It depends on your budget too, there is also Lily's kitchen from the UK available to order online, or the best food I have found at 95% meat content is Natures Variety available from Cats Country in Germany.

We give our kittens hi life wet pouches which is 60% meat content. Each box has a few varieties of flavour too. We also leave James well beloved dry food down all day.

Bozita? I was reading about that, let us know how you get on - it looks like a good food.
