Title: Tesco cat food
Post by: Catjane on April 22, 2007, 22:30:52 PM

I was examining the labels of my tins of cat food - I've started mixing and matching different brands and flavours as my lot get bored with the same brand all the time.  It was Whiskas, but they've gone off that for the time being and I'm giving them Felix and also Tesco's own.  When I compared the ingredients I was really surprised to read that Whiskas and Felix have only 4% meat in, but that Tesco has 8%!!!  Still pitifully low, but twice as good as the branded stuff!  It's also 'complete' - the only downside being that it's not 'pre-chunked' so you have to cut it up for them.  It's cheaper than the branded stuff too, so a bargain to boot!  Might compare the Tesco dry food as well, you never know ...

Tht is the second 'own brand' this weekend that has had higher than the Whiskas etc!! Their dry food can be better, I think it depends which range you look at.

The tescos own biscuits are fine a lot cheeper too, they cost under 50p. I used to buy them for a stray I was feeding, he didnt like the tescos own food though and my cats think they are too good to eat it, lol.

Most of the dual flavours whiskas etc (eg chicken and turkey, tuna and salmon) have 8% meat as they have 4% of each.
