Can anyone suggest a MSE recipe for something I could make or buy…

He was at the dog groomers last week and she is very good and I'm sure she would have mentioned it to my husband if she had found anything. I spoke to the vet and we have an…

Whiskas complete dry cat food
I need more dry cat food soon as the IMAS I stock piled last time it was on offer in Tesco is nearly gone. Can anyone tell me how Whiskas complete compares with IMAS please? My moggies are thriving on IMAS but the Whiskas is cheaper at the moment - is it worth buying Whiskas to save some pennies? Thanks :-)

Growing up, we had a more than one dog that were left on their own for "usual" office hours ie. 8-5 without dog walkers, neighbours popping etc. While this probably isn't the ideal we had a couple…
