Title: A thumbs up for Tesco's "Webbox"
Post by: CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls on September 30, 2009, 12:27:37 PM
I got some of these today, the chicken & liver also the turkey & lamb, and Im glad to say they have been a success  ;D Harry literally bit my hand off for them  :)

So if anyones cat is missing the Webbox I would say these would also go down well as a substitute  :)

that was my experience with Webbox addict Trigger - I'm sure he can't tell the difference :sneaky:

Kylie is on the fence. She started off enthusiastically then lost interest. They are a bit harder than webbox. I think Nature's Menu treats are better quality and you probably get more for your money  :evillaugh:

I noticed the Whiskas own "Webbox" has dropped from 99p to 69p for 3 but I don't think many will pay it.

If they are harder than Webbox then mine won't like them because sometimes I think some of the Webbox are firmer and my 2 won't eat them they like the really soft ones.  They love the Vitakraft ones because they are really soft.

Kylie likes the Webbox in the orange pack so that is the only one I get now and it is usually soft. Have you tried the Nature's menu treats? - they are like Webbox already broken up and are quite soft but you need to keep the pack sealed (the are resealable anyway.

I got a packet of pink Webbox sticks in b&m yesterday, think they are salmon and trout?

So if anybody has a b&m locally get down there!  :evillaugh:

Nina used to love them, Kiki isn't fussed and the little lads don't seem overly bothered so I may be offering them to you lot soon!  ;)

I actually bought a bag of chicken and liver flavour to try from PAH last weekend  ;D  but not given them any yet - I bought some ages ago and I think they liked them, we'll see  :) I was looking at all the different treats but most of them were hard and I know they'd get wasted  :tired:

I thought they were quite soft, you can squish them. My Ollie didn't go for them tho  :shy:

Tesco's Salmon & Trout are Trigger's favourite

I still have some Webbox, and can't detect any difference in softness between them and the Tesco's equivalent - might be more to do with age than manufacturer, perhaps

lots of soft things harden with age (and vice versa ;))

I like the way they come in seperate packs of their own, and you get 10 for 99p  ;D

I gone through 5 already this morning, that was mostly Harry eating them whole, he couldn't wait for me to break it  :evillaugh:

one of the big advantages of these stick treats is that cats recognise them on sight

many a time I have lured Trigger down off the top of the wardrobe - where he takes refuge from Tosker :scared: - by waving one at him

I couldn't use a treat like Dreamies in this way

Shaking a box of Temptations seems to do the trick with my lot, they all come running  :sneaky:

Bonnie likes the ones I get her from Aldi and they do some treats like Dreamies which she also likes but not as much as Dreamies  :rofl: :Luv2:

Ours like the Aldi ones too but I successfully hid a milbemax in a bit of Webbox (softer and thicker than Aldi's) and Billy ate it  :yayyy:

Shaking a packet of Dreamies works in our house CC  :)

I got the Webbox salmon and trout flavour from Wilkinsons. Both my boys love them.
