Waitrose cat food?

14K views 14 replies 9 participants last post by  chillminx  
Just wondering whether anyone has any knowledge (beyond what's on the pack) about Waitrose Special Recipe cat food? Bought a few pouches today to try it out, it looks like bozita (which also looks like Whiskas... so doesn't say much). Usual "4%" info on the back (see here) although one thing i noticed was that cereals were not the first ingredient. I know I'm probably clutching at straws here...

Basically I'm looking for high meat content wet food I can buy on the high street, as I'm fed up of having to take days off work for zooplus deliveries (and it's a bit hit and miss as to which day it'll actually come) (they have been having smilla & animonda carny; bozita made them stinky). Unfortunately the cats have gone off the Pets at home Purely food they loved when we first got them which is a pain.

I would love something we can buy from Sainsbury's or Waitrose or pets at home as that's what's nearby. I know the encore stuff is good from sainsbury's and we buy the biscuits from there, but the wet stuff is so pricey. I've also bought hi-life pouches from Wilkos relatively cheap, but they only sell them individually and they just seem to go through them so fast! So any tips on sainsburys/waitrose decent quality cat food would be much appreciated by me & the cats! THANKS!
Cannot help you with the Waitrose query MM. I emailed them about it a while ago and you have just reminded me that I never got a reply. Might phone them this week and find out.

My guess is that the meaty bits will contain as much meat/derivatives as in Bozita, Whiskas and the like. The key here will be to find out how much jelly is in the pack and how much meat vs derivatives the meaty bits contain ;)

Have you had a mooch round Tesco? They do some relatively high meat content foods but again a tad pricier than the stuff you could pick up from zooplus. Doh, ignore that. I just reread your post and you want to know about Sainsbury/Waitrose. As long as it is complete food why don't you just buy a selection of stuff from each and see what agrees with your cats?

Sorry not to be of more help :eek:
