Pet foods
Having posted other food questions, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what pet foods are like in Oz? (Not from personal tasting, of course! :rolleyes: )
From what I saw on our visit, I suspect that, like the UK, there are many varieties of commercial pet foods around, but I'm wondering what Expat Pets eat now? I'm interested in finding out about cat and dog food. :) Thanks. |

Re: Pet foods
Our cat eats raw roo meat with a mix of dehydrated veggies, barley, oats, garlic and a load of other stuff that I have to put in water 24 hours before I make up his mix.
He absolutley loves it and the vet has commented on how healthy he is and looks. We find this a lot cheaper way to feed him compared to cans and I believe it is loads better for him. Hels |

Friskies dried cat food (kilo box, or maybe a kilo half, can't remember the exact weight) - around $3.80 big bags of "special diet" dried cat food ( can't remember the name of it for the life of me, yet I buy it all the time .It isn't a major brand like Friskies etc -- comes in a blue foil bag) - around $10 Snappy Tom tinned food ( don't know if you get that over in the UK?) around $1.20 generic brand tins - around 60 cents, 40 cents for the small half tins The poncey looking cat food which looks better than my cooking lol, such as small tins of Dine, the gourmet food brands ( the little expensive one small meal tins) from 75c to $120 - depending on the brand. big bag of cat litter, generic brand - around $4.60 whole aisle of pet food here in supermarkets like in the UK. what do my cats eat? The above plus anything that takes their fancy that we have on our plates currently slave to two cats , age 13 yrs old and 4 yrs old cheers:) |
Re: Pet foods
Hiya,
My cats are like many others...fussy! My two eldest (4 1/2 yrs ) had Whiskers kitten food, then one day decided they didn't like it anymore. This was in the uk and we fed them 'Classic' (tin food/sachets). They also very much favoured fishy flavours. We brought 3 over, including Logan (1 yr 3 months), and they've prefer Whiskers to anything else, especially the chicken and turkey??!! The Snappy Tom and Whiskers fish flavours actually have proper bits of fish in them!! Very surprised and thought they'd love 'em but they can take it or leave it. I'm a pet sitter, and owners have a lot of choice, so I see quite an array. One of my cats gets fed the roo meat mentioned in another thread. It's in individual vacuum pack portions, and goes down well. Not so keen on it myself, but this cat gets filtered water too! :D |
