I have been trawling, trying to find other CRF foods for Clapton to try. I came across petfood warehouse which sells Techni-cal renal - It's cheaper than I have been paying at the vets for Hills and I found out fron Canterbury Animal Respect website that Tecni-cal don't do animal testing - bonus!! ;D
Fingers crossed he will eat it!! - I didn't think you could buy prescription food without a prescription from the vet.
It's worth a look on their site as I found a dry food for willow to try which says it helps with food sensitivities including runny eyes (willow has allergic conjunctivitis) - it's called Forza1 (Italian)
Their prices are good and they do free delivery if you spend more than £20.00
They also sells beds, litter etc

They aren't really a POM product, they get called prescription because they should be used under veterinary direction and i spose before internet shopping took off, only available from your vet.

I just checked the price and it isn't that much cheaper than the vet. So who is making the profit? - the manufacturer no doubt. I am praying he will like techni-cal. Even if I can give him 1/2 & 1/2 senior and prescription I'm sure it will help.
At the moment, he is mad on a new senior food Tesco have started doing - only available in chicken but 23p a hit is better than over £1 for renal (I don't begrudge him but would like to buy it cheaper)
Also, I got Asda oown senior yesterday, 12 pouches (all chicken!) in gravy for £1.95 which he seems to like (today at least! :evillaugh: )

Thanks for that link Mark cos my cats eat TechniCal biscuits and even the birmans are caught eating them now.
I didnt know that they didnt do animal testing but thats great to know and the biscuits are big favs with my cats.
Hope that Clapton will also like techniCal ;D
-
I haven't seen it for a long time. The Pet Shop in Stoke Newington sold it but I haven't seen it since. I got on well with the owner and she gave me loads of free samples of techni-cal dry ;D
I thought the free delivery on orders over £20 is great as you don't have to buy things you don't need (like when I order from PetPlanet :tired: )
BTW - did you see the kitty brass bed for £49.99 :evillaugh:
PS - it doesn't say until you get to checkout but -
Free delivery on orders over £19.50
Free delivery + cuddly toy orders over £35.00
Free delivery + 5% discount over £50.00
Free delivery + 10% discount over £90.00 (I think)
Oh - one more thing - I got an email about an hour after I ordered saying it had been shipped :wow: :wow:

I have always had to order onine.
Whos that napping,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,is it Clapton? Gorgeous ;D

No it's a photo from the petsupermarket site. They are selling a kitty brass bed for £49.99. There is a better picture of the bed on the site but without a kitty on it. I think they are ridiculous :evillaugh:
-
I didnt think that was Clapton but it is one beauty ful cat, not that Clapton isnt you unerfstang...........................grrrrrrrrrrrr getting coat :rofl:
-
It's OK if you like that kinda thing - I love all cats but given the choice, shorthair every time for me ;D
-
Delivery cam today!
Willow likes the Italian food!
Yet to try Kylie with the Techni-cal diet ;D
The Renal is "Trovet" - I thought I ordered Techni-cal renal but it's not on their site so I must be confused :Crazy: - I hope it's OK - I've never heard of that brand
-
What are the ingredients like on the renal Mark?
-
It says - Meat and animal byproducts, fish & fish byproducts, cereals, vegetable byproducts, oils & fats, minerals & vitamins.
"restricted level of protein but of high-quality. Mineral balancing properties (low phosphorus content) favours the production of an alkaline urine."
Probably no worse than Hills or RC - It apparently was owned by Nestle but there was a management buyout.
