What's the best dried cat food out there?

In your opinion?

I feed a pouch or two a day but need to nail the dried food.

I've tried Fish4cats, miaowing Heads, Lily's kitchen - she will eat them all but not enthusiastically Grin

What do you use that you can recommend?

Purizon from zooplus is my cats fav. Can buy small bags to try different flavours.
I leave it out and he grazes.

Ours all scoff the Lidl biscuits (Coshida?). They’re really fussy with their wet food and aren’t keen on other dry. Love that one though.

I have three Siamese cats and a pug. They all share Royal Canin Siamese and the pug food also. It's the only dried food they will all eat. I have tried others and they turn their picky noses up because I swear they know it is expensive.
My oldest Kitty who is coming up to 17 loves a bit of wafer thin ham and the juice from sardines. The sardines get left and the pug eats them.

Morrison's do a grain free dry in chicken or fish. DCat has that and whatever is on offer from ZooPlus - Feringa mainly.

Good tips, thanks. Purizon and Wild Freedom are favourites here.

James wellloved Turkey. Cat can't get enough of it!

Had to change after the whole dodgy dry food thing so took a while to find one she loved again

@dementedpixie

Can you still get applaws after the recall?
Wasn't it only wet Applaws that was the problem?
dementedpixie · 06/10/2021 07:52

No it was Dry food that was the problem @icedcoffees. No wet food was involved (maybe you are thinking of issues with wet felix that I have seen on fb)

For info on the Applaws details food recall

Mine used to have Applaws dry before the recall. Then I switched them to Purizon, which they seem happy with. Currently feeding Crave because it was on special offer, also deemed acceptable although I don't think it's agreeing with them as well.

dementedpixie · 06/10/2021 08:21

I wasn't that impressed with Crave either. Mine seem to like Thrive dry and I used to mix it with Encore (same manufacturer as Applaws) but haven't been able to get it since the recall either. Currently mixing it with Scrumbles but the kibble is very small and I don't think they like it that much.

Ours have been on Harrington's for years and love it
