Title: Almo Nature & Orijen etc ?????
Post by: west0405 on September 03, 2007, 16:54:46 PM

Any opinions on these cat foods...?

I'm taking the plunge soon and going to buy a BIG bag of dry cat food, (after trials on small bags first!!)   :sneaky:
And maybe some supplement wet food, (Dylan + wet food = Mummy's not got a cream carpet anymore!)   :sick:

So I have been looking at several brands and these two look good, from more of an ethical and health point of view I suppose... but I'm just a beginner with all this cat food stuff...!    :Crazy:

I am just fortunate at the moment to be able to spend a bit of money for some good quality cat food.
Lets just see how long it lasts... If I'm not on for a while, I've had to sell my computer for extra funds!   :rofl:

So any ideas / opinions or suggestions would be wonderful !!!!!!  :Luv:

I've just recommended Almo Nature to someone else.  Blip likes it and it has a high meat content.  There is a stockists' list, by area, at http://www.almonatureuk.com/

I don't have any experience of the other brand you've asked about.

Thanks for that guys...  :Luv:

I've been looking at them both on the Zooplus website and as I would also be buying in bulk it would be free delivery  ;)

The Almo Nature website is great thanks... I never even thought about Google-ing it!!  :doh:  And at least now I have something to show th OH when he see's his bank statements!    :evillaugh:

Heres a bit of info on the other brand I mentioned....   http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/dry_cat_food/orijen/45156

That probably wont work though!!   :rofl:

Susanne uses Orijen, the good thing about it is its grain free and was only £1 a bag when i ordered  ;D

Almo nature is a good one to try if he has a dicky tummy and theres only meat/rice & water in the tin. You could also try Cosma.

Mosi eats orijen for his dry and loves it (and does well on it - less smelly poos!).  The £1 bags zooplus are selling at the  moment area bargain at £1 for 400g.

Mine love almo nature too.  I also buy applaws which is a very similar product.

Almo nature comes in more flavours than the applaws.  I buy both from local pet shops as I don't think the prices on zooplus are that good unless it's on special offer.  I pay 59p for a small tin - have a feeling it's more than that on zooplus?

Tesco make their own version of almo nature style chicken if you wish to try a couple. Double check the ingredients but i think they are as 'pure' as the other brands
