99% of supermarket pet food is overpriced rubbish - this includes Sheba. IAMS is not rubbish but overpriced - they experiment on animals & has a high salt content.

I recommend Burns dried & Bozita wet (pouches) & Aniconda Carni (tins) - all 3 can be sourced from zooplus or other online suppliers - buying in bulk keeps costs down. Also raw feeding offal, chicken giblets etc - v good for teeth/pets & your pocket. 75% dried feeding keeps litter usuage costs down too & you will witness a visible improvement in your pets condition as well as energy levels.

I think it's funny how most super markets do their own brand, hilife, feline fayre, top life, encore. That all have a good meat content, and are all cheaper than the filler filled over priced whiskas, sheba, go cat, felix etc. Yet people look at them think 'there're cheap crap' and buy the crap foods lol. No decent dry cat foods in super markets though,

I also think it's sad they do good cat foods, but I've never seen a food in the super market I'd even contemplate feeding my dogs.

Had a look at the great links above and whatever food I looked at, it seems to come to around £1 per sat per day... I got 4 cats....£120 per month?

:eek:

Measure it also - do not free feed.

I have a 8 and half month kitten and only fed her kitten food for about a month after getting her at 9 weeks old.
She was eating upto 4 pouches a day and we just couldnt keep up with it so we switched to tin food and mixed a bit of dry in too.
I picked up some purina in sainsburys as it was on cheap today and will be measuring it out so she doesnt over eat.

Never had kitten food when my dear old now departed lady was around and ordinary never done her any harm.

Do not mix dry & wet food - lose all abrasive tooth action that way.:( Feed at separate times say morning wet & evening dry.

When our tiger is not mousing or finishing next doors KFC buckets of grease, he eats go-cat and plenty of water.

As he is currently welded under the boiler, he eats very little
