Title: Tesco premium wet food
Post by: Mark on November 06, 2007, 17:07:21 PM
I got a couple the other day and they have made the packs bigger. They were 100grams and now 150grams.  ;D. The price has gone down from 59p to 53p. Half a pack is enough for a meal as it is so compact that there is more in half a pack than there is in 100grams of Whiskas etc but far better quality food - 60% lamb + rice. There is no wheat or dairy so pretty good  ;D

This is like a firm pate (you can slice it into cubes) so no jelly or gravy to lick off. Also smells really meaty unlike most cat food. Even my picky cat loves it. They do a Lamb one and a Turkey one.

The hedgehogs like it. Willow ate a bit but prefers her Hill's. Clapton won't eat dry and at 21% fat, Kylie isn't allowed  :evillaugh:

Clapton won't eat the Turkey flavour wet. As he liked the lamb one, I assumed he would love the turkey one as he is mad for poultry but he won't touch it. I bough about 30 trays as well!! - Again, the hedgies go mad for it  :evillaugh:

That the one in like a foil tray you peel the the top off?   The premium ones are jelly like in small round tins   The wet pouches are good too certainly go down well here 24 for 4.99 ;D

I tried that but it didn't go down well, what I really need is a gourmet pearl (or perle as I was corrected by the people are purina recently!!) look alike with a bit more meat in

The pearl looks like AGAILs? I got something off Zooplus similar to that but cant for life of me remember which one it was....

I think the meat is the same in agails but its the gravy that has the drugs in it I think, that's what they love!

I went back to Tesco today and the Lamb "Naturals" was back to 100gram trays. I pulled them out and found one 150gram pack at the back of the shelf. I looked at it wondering why they are changing backwards and forwards on the pack size - then I realised THERE IS A PHOTO OF A DOG on the 150gram packs. I'm sure this must have been a one-off mistake but wonder how many people had given their cat dog food without realising? - I know this can be harmful long-term but hopefully nobody has been feeding their cat exclusively on it  >:(

I had a similar thing in Wilkinsons a while ago where they had Cesar dog food in with the cat food and the woman blamed the night shelf fillers.
