Cat food with high protein/ meat content?

44 replies

ILovePigsInBlankets · 13/01/2023 22:40

DCat has always eaten Felix AGAIL cat food - because that's what he ate at the RSPCA when we adopted him!

It just never seems to fill him up though - he's always frantic for another pouch. He's not keen on dry food either.

Can anyone recommend a high protein/ high meat content food - in the hope it fills him up!

Thanks!

We use untamedcatfood.com. Pricey but high protein!

Battlecat98 · 13/01/2023 22:43

Zooplus are good for high meat content, I use animonda Carney. There are lots of other brands also.

Watching! Ideally looking for excellent quality dry food.

Meowing Heads. Via the Barking Heads website

We use Katkin. 100% meat.
Here's a referral link that gets 50% off if you wanted to try

Harry has this. He's always had a soft coat but it's been even better since we switched him to Meowing Heads. It's quite smelly so it's great to hide his heart meds in!

Thrive or Blink. Felix AGAIL has a pathetically low meat content.

Clarich007 · 14/01/2023 18:53

Untamed is great and their customer service is fantastic, can't fault them
Also Katkin, Encore, Lily's kitchen, Blink. All really high meat content.
Pets at Home Seriously good Bistro.

We give DCat Thrive dry food currently - recent change from Iams. She loves their treats (which are just freeze dried chunks of fish or chicken) but only reluctantly eats the dry food. Maybe that’s inevitable with dry.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 14/01/2023 20:18

Harry loves the Thrive dried white fish chunks - another vile smelling food bless him!

SomersetBrie · 14/01/2023 20:41

Untamed is lovely, smells almost good enough to eat!

Rebel2023 · 14/01/2023 20:51

Natures menu is my cats fave, he reliably eats it which he doesn't with all!

WhatDoYouWantNow · 14/01/2023 20:52

To fill him up/ensure that he gets protein, give him chicken (cook it by roasting or poaching) - NO BONES, obviously

I buy this too but they are still greedy buggers with it. Three tins a day and still want more some days...

Good stuff though.

lorisparkle · 14/01/2023 21:40

@minipie we were recommended canagan dry food- not sure how it compares though as our cat will only eat iams!

PoinsettiaPosturing · 14/01/2023 21:41

Wet food we use Applaws or Cosma, over 90% meat content. It's expensive but we bulk order via ZooPlus

Tubbyinthehottub · 14/01/2023 21:53

Katkin or raw.

Glittertwins · 14/01/2023 22:03

Katkin here, has definitely reduced the feline begging!

RandomMess · 14/01/2023 22:05

For dry food orijen - 85%

Available from PetPlanet and a few other places

Twinklenoseblows · 14/01/2023 22:06

Thrive or Ziwipeak. Pricey but they need less of it. Even better go raw.

TheMatriarchy · 14/01/2023 22:06

Royal Canin Protein Extigent

Reluctantadult · 14/01/2023 22:07

Sheba. It is the lowest sugar easily available cat food anyway. Diabetic dcat here.

Rhino94 · 14/01/2023 22:12

feed raw if you can! The best species appropriate food there is!
felix, whiskas, Sheba ect are all full of rubbish!

PlinkyPlonkyPurple · 14/01/2023 22:23

Do you buy raw or make your own? I'd like to switch mine over to raw
