Bozita cartons are chunks in jelly and slightly smaller than a large can. The cans are more of a chunky meaty pate. I can feed 4 cats on less than can per meal easily....maybe the cartons are less dense.

Ah, so one can should do all 3 cats? And are the cans just as nice? I know with the likes of felix, the cans always seem less juicy and more dry than the sachets, and my 3 usually turn there nose up to them.

Thanks again for all the advice everyone :T

One can of Bozita is more than enough for 3 cats. The cartons are standard jelly and chunks, the tins are a very different texture...a bit like a really chunky pate but with an outside layer of some jelly in the can. I add a good splash of hot water and mush it all up and he cats all love it.

My mum feeds her cats mostly a dry diet too. Some are fine on it but some have had urinary infections (which are thought to be linked to dry diets I believe).

I have to feed my 3 dogs on Wagg right now due to some major mess ups with money which will take at least 3 months to get back to normal but surprisingly they are doing amazing on it.

It's the same for everyone though what works for some people won't work for others. Nutrition is a big, scary world :eek:

on any food!

As they age & if they are pedigree (correct me if I'm wrong) conditions linked to diet can surface even in healthy cats. Cats with existing conditions & pedigrees may need special care/diets - my comments refer to healthy/older moggies (never had a dog). I find apart from having to find the cash to pay for food in bulk it works out cheaper than when I used to feed on Felix/Sainsburys/Tesco's own brand wet & Go-cat, then here is the little matter of going buy it every week & storage.

I am not convinced this is as good quality as you think - Just Nature contains both derivatives and grains (rice). The percentage of the named meat is not given as a percentage of the total product, it is given as a percentage of 'meat and animal derivatives' which is an unknown percentage of the total product. The Tesco Luxury claims on the front of the pack to be 50% meat and ingredients list no grains. I wouldn't pay full price for it tho, as it regularly comes on offer.

Thank you for this post. Just come home determined I was right and I am so angry right now at Tesco for being so misleading. I give mine a lot of this and am very particular about their food (Tesco Finest, Waitrose 60% stuff, Orijen) and now I find out I have been shovelling rubbish down my cats mouths. No wonder the chunky one loved it so.

The label is so misleading it could literally be 1% meat, of which 60% is turkey.

Tesco do a range called 'Just Nature' the trays are 100g and min 50% meat. The good news, just 22p. The two flavours are lamb and turkey.

Wow!

I've had pedigrees, crossbreeds and moggies and tbh whilst a lot of people assume moggies are more resilient to any illnesses in my experience it's been roughly the same between my pedigrees and moggies. One of my moggies suffered with FIV Not related to nutrition of course.

My mum feeds gocat simply for convenience as she has 9 cats. That really riles me as she won't even consider the advice I give her.

I don't think Just Nature is complete rubbish but certainly not in Orijen's league; I got caught too if it's any consolation. Tesco Luxury contains plenty of meat and is much cheaper than the Finest. Bit too much tuna featuring in Finest for my liking but maybe I am biased as it gives Noah the 'splats'!

Hello

Well, this weekend i'm going to buy some hilife and encore from sainsburys. And will also order some cans of Bozita.
They seem to be cheaper than the cartons - does everyone agree that they're just as good as the cartons? I really hope they like the Bozita, coz if one can does the 3 of them for there evening meal, not only will i be saving money, but their diet will be so much better, and i'll be a happy mum with 3 happy kitties!

I noticed last night the Co-op are selling boxes of 12 Felix at 2 for £5 if anyone is interested

I think the tins are better than the cartons, and they are much better value. My 4 are thriving on it.
