just thought that for a dry food 30% chicken was a good % for a cheap price  :-:

I think so too, I was in PAH this afternoon comparing James Wellbeloved Turkey and rice kitten (which the boys have as snacks) with the PAH own brand kitten.  The JWB which is thought of as a premium brand had 26 % or something ( I bought the fish one in the end so can't check!) and the PAH had 25% so Vitalin with 30% sounds pretty good to me. 

JWB is £1.85 for 225g so the Vitalin stuff sounds bargainous.  JWB works out to 0.82p per gram which is the equivalent of £4.10 for 500 grammes - so £0.99 for 500g is definitely good value.

I think the "chicken meat meal" is good. a lot of them just say chicken meal which could be any part of a chicken

I would give it a go, I must have missed that when I was in Home Bargains. Asda have a new food that has a good meat content, that is around the 30% mark, but I have nearly 10kg of food in, so couldn't justify buying more just to try it!!

I have a 5kg bag of hills for willow and she eats about 40 grams aday!
a 5kg bag of hills light  + 1/2 bag JWB light for kylie - but I am going to order the RC obesity wet for her as she ate some of the free sample and I want her to lose 1kg so she will be on rations - so no point me buying any mor at the moment. (mind you, the hedgehogs and the tortie that comes in for a feast every night are getting through it quick enough)

Mine dont get that much dry food a day, they get very little, as I prefer them to have mainly wet, esp my two, but they are both dry food addicts!!

Wow 125 days of food certainly means you won't need to buy her anymore dry for a while lol. Bless her she must be tiny to only eat 40grams a day  :Luv:

She eats one tray of Sheba + the dry a day. Her dish is a little denby dish I usually serve tomato sauce on (about 3"  ;D )

I'm forgetting that she sometimes has a nibble at Clapton's wet food but not often - she isn't that fussed about Whiskas thesedays  :evillaugh:
