Title: Tesco own "Enhanced Nutrition" dry contains glucosamine and chondroitin
Post by: Mark on August 24, 2008, 20:26:08 PM
I was quite surprised reading the ingredients. The adult and the senior contain them. Also they are quite low phosphorus. Senior 0.8, adult 0.7  ;D

I have to be honest - I don't really read the ingredients because I don't understand what each of the things like those are so I don't know what's good or what's bad.   What I normally do is spend more on what I assume is better quality food but I have no idea if it is or not.

They are for Arthritis - good to be included in adult food as it could prevent as well was treat.

I don't understand what all the ingredients are but I know enough to know that Go-cat, Whiskas dry and the cheapo supermarket own ones are rubbish and bad cats health, especially in the long run. I would say spending a bit more on decent food will give cats a longer, healthier and happier life  :)

Phew - at least I'm doing something right then.   I must be pay attention to those ingredients then.

Its usually James Wellbeloved, Hill's or Pro-plan that I buy.   I'm just waiting on a sample of Burns cat food to come as they are cruelty free and so would love my cats to like it but they are fussy wee things.

I've never liked the look of Whiskas etc - it just has that cheap waxy look about them.    I always go by the saying 'you get what you pay for'!  :)

Mine will only eat Felix pouches and their biscuits, although I put a bit of ham down yesterday and whoever ate it ate every little tiny crumb.....just dont know who it was, well not Franta.
