Which food.......

[Fran]

I have to vary the brand from time to time as they seem to get bored with one brand all the time At the moment they are having 'Classic' which is various fishy flavours in a jelly. They have acces to Brekkies or Go cat biscuits as well. Lucky who is eighteen prefers biscuits. The others prefer the meat. Recently Lucky has been having whiskas senior biscuits as I felt she was dropping a little weight and Maud and Claude are having Whiskas kitten food. The labs will eat ANYTHING!! But are fed a raw diet and if they do have milk it's goats milk which is easier on their tummies than cows milk

Who makes Classic PK? I may try something different as she does appear to be getting fussy. She will eat any biscuits though but I'm careful giving them to her as I never see her drink anything

[Fran]

Classic is made by Butchers Classic. I buy it at Asda or Morrisons - do you have these supermarkets where you are Mags When mine eat biscuits they do tend to drink a lot of water but no water really if they only have tinned.....

[Mags]

My nearest ones are Sainsburys and Tesco but I think I've seen that name in one of them.....I'll look out for it tomorrow.

Cassie's had biscuits on their own but still won't drink any water, that's why I'm careful how many I give her

Like you PK..I tend to change brands now and then, I am sure they get bored with the same thing....I have one senior cat..1 junior cat and 1 kitten and they all eat the same.Gave up trying to give them what "They are supposed to have"....

all my non breeding cats get fresh steamed meat and veg.The meat tends to be Beef/Lamb/Chicken/Turkey which either heart or kidney added.Vegatables are mixed daily and all this is steamed and served warm which they love.My breeding girls get Go-cat super meat.
Kittens are weaned onto Whiskers kitten meat and by the time they get to 12 weeks they go onto fresh meat veg.
The biscuit we use is called Red Mills,the best biscuit i have ever come across.This is down 24/7
We have found feeding fresh to preg girls means small kittens at birth which fad away.Mums tend to be thin after birth and milk is no good.You would think fresh best but we have found that they cannot absorbe all needed nutrients when preg,my vets also agree.

That's very interesting Sam.....the meat bit is easy but I wish I could get Cassie to eat some veg. Is there any reason why you use Go-cat supermeat.....I use Whiskas supermeat and have often wondered if that is too rich for her.

[shonedek]

Mags i find Whiskers way to rich for my adult cats which is why i use Go-Cat,which they love.
Heres a tip for you about veg,i steam it then put it through a blender/processor then mix with meat.They hardly notice the veg

[Mags]

Aahhh, that could explain why Cassie is sometimes sick after she has eaten Whiskas. I think I'll definately try her on something else now.

I'll give that a try with the veg Sam, I always steam ours so a bit extra is no problem to do.

thats how i feed the dogs Sam, but i dont steam the veg they get it raw after it has gone though a blender with the 2 girls i have to mix it in to the meat but Leo will eat it on its own.

i did think about getting my girls on to raw but im hopping that Scarlott will be my first queen so i will stick to how she is feed now. but i thought i would add that when my bitches are in whelp and after they are still on raw and i have found that the pups do better on it (its funny how they are so diffrent)
