Can you get the new Purina ProPlan foods? They're not as good as Nutro,
but they're not too shabby.


No, I definitely can't get them here. But I can get Dennis to bring some
from Florida when he goes in April and then we can get some more from Canada
when we go home in the summer. But then again, I'll probably be bringing
Nutro. Just so upset that the store that had it here closed down :-( I've
saved one can and am going to take it to other stores to see if they can
order it. I just have to do it on a "high patience" day, because the
communication can be quite frustrating.

I think of Whiskas as the best wet food here. The cats would be
mortified if I brought anything else home.


You're probably right, unless you start feeding Denes or somesuch. the
thing to remember about European pet foods, is that all pet foods by
European law, have to be made of human grade consumption meat - it might
only be the stuff that cheap sausages etc are made of, but the brand pet
food here is far better quality than in the USA. Hence, 95% of UK owners
get their wet pet food off the shelves in a supermarket. And like your
owner - Tiger would kill me if he didn't get his fix of rabbit whiskas
at least twice a week!

Ahem. Let's not even go there....the Evil 3 are all "blubbery" dark-colored
cats; their TED calls them "overweight" and they eat only Rx food for
"overweight" older felines. Their hoomins hope this will lengthen their
lifespans; who knows? As for the overweight hoomins, they still have
choices, and these are not always good ones. But they mostly try.

Yes, those rules apply here in Oz (and I believe NZ) as well.

We still need to make sure that there's not much cereal and extra's
(flavouring, colouring etc etc) in the tin, but in general terms, our pet
food is safe enough for humans to eat.

Whiskas makes rabbit flavour? Wow, I've never seen that before.
