They say you should change over about a week to 10 days. If you add a bit to their normal food the 1st day then each day put a bit more in and less of the old one they should be OK changing over. I have always chopped & changed food so don't have that trouble - except with JWB as none of them will touch it  :evillaugh:

It's a shame you didn't go last week as it was BOGOF

if you know some one with a coscos card get there own make dry food. iv not found a cat that turns its nose up yet and no flies in the summer. is a big bag though think its 12 kg but its not too dear, so if it does not work im sure some one would want it. it looks and smells like iams dry but slightly oily. the ferals loved it so much it took a j s to get them on other food again :rofl:

I believe you get what pay for, much like organic chickens, so much tastier and meatier :drool; knowing whats in your pets food isnt being conned.

Keep an eye on the bargins section, the offers often run for a week or so  ;D
