Cat food Sachets are a ripoff

[johnnygriff]

Why are people buying sachets when they are about 4 or 5 times the price of tins? Smaller supermarkets are stopping selling tins. Why are people falling for this non recyclable con? Makes no sense to me.

[Praisebe]

Royal canin and science plan are terrible quality foods. Pet fooled on netflix showed this

[Middleoftheroad]

My pair adore the soups but I stopped buying them as an odd creamy treat as too messy.

Mine have gone off pouches - they only lick the gravy so thinking of reverting to cans.

They have a Whiskas or Felix pouch each a day and dry biscuits. Sadly they won't touch other varieties

[abigamarone]

Mine can't be trusted around sachets. One of them can get in the box, remove the packs, to them open and eat the contents. And he's not satisfied with one.

[BulletFox]

abi he's a -cunning- clever little thing!

I went off pouches as I found it too much effort to get it out and there was always a bit of wastage.

For wet food mine has the square tubs of terrine, flakes in jelly etc which are easy as I only have to take the lid off then decant the tub onto her plate

[Boatsonthewater]

What?? Science plan is no good? What in the hell is then? I have been through so many foods she won’t eat. I thought it was good quality? Is Butchers tinned good good quality by the way? Thought I might try that.

[Praisebe]

Butchers is also a rubbish food. Anything with grains additives and chemicals added is a bad feed. Science plan is only promoted and pushed by vets because they get paid commission for doing so same goes for royal canin

Ingredients
Ground maize, ground rice, chicken and turkey meal, cellulose powder, animal fat, pea bran meal, digest, dried whole egg, vegetable oil, potassium citrate, calcium sulphate, salt, calcium carbonate, taurine, L-tryptophan, vitamins and trace elements. Contains EU approved antioxidant.
That's the ingredients list for hills science plan yuck.
Petfooled is available on Netflix its a real eye opener to what corporations really put into this sort of food

What should I be feeding my little feline prince?
He will eat the pouches and dry food from Aldi or Lidl but he'll sometimes just lick the gravy. I can't recycle the pouches but I recycle the box.
He was a few years old when I got him and he had previously been fed gourmet perl and go-kat.

CharlieAlphaTango can't get into the pouches but he will try to open the Dreemies packet.

Tinned food is vile (more so than pouches). If you don't keep it in the fridge in hot weather it goes off in no time. Pouches are just convenient, I bulk buy when they're on offer.

[BIWI]

Ah yes. Dreamies. Cocaine for cats!

[metalmum15]

Haha biwi mine can hear the dreamies packet coming out the cupboard from the opposite side of the house!

[MycatsaPirate]

We bulk buy pouches online. Six cats, two different (sometimes 3) types of food to keep them from refusing it on a whim.

[Praisebe]

I too bulk buy much to DPs disdain at the 600 pouches i currently have stockpiled in our spare room we've had to stop buying dreamies because she figured out how to open the drawer we kept them in and at an entire 200g bag in one go !!

[1DAD2KIDS]

I'm tins all the way

[MinnieMousse]

Boats and Praise I was recommended Butchers tins when I adopted my cat because it is relatively inexpensive but has a higher meat content than most other tins. It is grain-free.

[Fluffycloudland77]

Mine won't eat tins. I have an app on my phone that pays out in Amazon vouchers & do surveys and the cat eats gourmet for free.

[Sparklingbrook]

I agree about the tins especially in hot weather. Bleurgh. Pouches are more practical.

I get them in bulk from B&M.

[dementedpixie]

Butchers dorsnt contain grains or added sugar. Mine don't like it as it has 2 much gravy. I feed a mix of Sheba fine flakes or select slices, gourmet perle and some whiskas pouches that seem to also be grain free and sugar free. I give dry AVA food from pets at home as it's 60% chicken. Have ordered some Thrive dry food that's 90% meat

[Vitalogy]

I just found the quality in tins wasn't as good. I did have a plastic cap that fitted on the tin, saved it smelling the fridge out.

These have decent ingredients in. Family run company.

Butchers dorsnt contain grains or added sugar. Mine don't like it as it has 2 much gravy - I mean too much jelly, not gravy

Big Pussy Boy likes the soup to start, followed by a nice casserole. He eschews the dessert trolley in favour of a nice piece of mature cheddar, gruyere or Gorgonzola. He sometimes has rillettes to start with a few olives, and is partial to a few peas with his casserole.

[Praisebe]

Cats can't have cheese or olives some of these posts are shocking
And no hilife is not a family owned company nor is it a good food to feed neither is butchers
Basic rule of thumb is any pet food you can buy in a supermarket is garbage

They can have small amounts of cheese. What's wrong with butchers cat food?
