Title: Wet Food questions
Post by: Indys Mamma on April 04, 2009, 15:01:16 PM
Hey

I have been trying to feed the boys a better quality wet food along with their dry. Yesterday I bought some Tescos Finest which claims to be 50% fish (got the fish variety) which the boys love. Anyway, the questions.

1) Is this a complete food? it seems pretty complete but doesn't *say* complete that I can see

2) If not complete is it fine with their complete dry?

3) On Felix etc the boys polish off a pouch each, with this stuff they barely managed half a pouch before wandering off to sleep it off, finishing it later... is that normal? (the pouches are smaller too, 85g not 100g)

4) I also bought some Purina One and Gourmet Complete pouches along with Tesco Finest... what are other peoples experiences with these foods?

sorry for all the questions but I want the best I can get for my babies

Tesco finest is complete.  I've just been and had a look as I  have both the fishy ones and the chicken ones in.  It says on the back of the box, although it's not in very large print.

Jaffa will eat a whole pouch of whatever I give him, but I think the tesco finest will be a lot more filling than the felix.  It has a much higher meat/fish content.

They are richer, my lot also struggle to eat a full portion.

Purina one isnt too bad, mid range id say,gourmet is wayyyy overpriced for the meat content  ;)

hehe Tescos had all of them on 2 for 1 on single servings so got a selection to try them on, they were on Active Fit but the place selling it has stopped carrying all except the senior one

ooooh am an idiot!!


it isn't Tesco Finest (though I have a few pouches of that) is Tesco Luxury that I wasn't sure if it is complete

opened it and literally chunks of fish, just in jelly! and cheaper than Felix... was well impressed
