A good quality, reasonably priced wet food?

My dog doesn't particularly enjoy his dry biscuits on their own and he's no longer fooled by the 'warm water = gravy' trick. He likes tomatoey sardines mixed in but I don't want to give him them every day, twice a day.

Is there such a thing as a good quality but cheap/reasonably priced tinned food that I can mix with his biscuits?

Rocco Classic is good stuff. I use it (along with Rinti and Animonda GranCarno) as a dry food topper for my lot. It's less than £1 per 400g tin on Zooplus. Animonda GranCarno is similarly cheap, decent quality and goes down very well in this house. Rinti and Bozita are also good.

They come in a massive range of flavours, my lot go absolutely nuts for the beef and reindeer!

Perhaps a change of biscuit would work . We have had to go back to Barking heads as my dog cannot have raw ( he has SLO ) and I give him cooked chicken or ham with it and that encourages him.

I used to feed him on CSJ, he got bored of that so I switched him to Harringtons which he loved for a while but now he's bored of that too. I wish I could afford a really good one like Barking Heads but it's way way wayyyy out of my price range in case he doesn't like it.

Thanks, I'll look into those Castilian :)

I feed the Barking Heads lamb and it doesn't work out that expensive as I feed less than recommended otherwise he would be as fat as a pig ,added to which he gets his cooked meats and other leftovers ( bit of a dustbin) . I know other people who have found the same with BH .

Yeeees but what sort of dog do you have? I have a 35kg Greyhound so we get through a 15kg sack every 4-5 weeks.

You may find that with a higher quality food you feed less and it works out more economical.

I feed my lot Millies Wolfheart countryside mix and a 15kg sack lasts four medium sized dogs (three whippets who eat like horses and a 17kg mongrel) just over a month.

MWH do small trial packs for just a few pounds if you're interested in trying it without buying a whole bag.

I just looked up Millies Wolfheart, there doesn't seem to be a low protein one, my dog needs less than 20%. His Harringtons is 21% which is still a little too high so I don't really think I should give him food which is 24%. It does look like good stuff though.

After trying Lily's Kitchen and finding it too rich for my dogs, I have reverted back to Wainwright's wet and dry food from Pets at Home.
