Hello all,
I hope that everyone's well and not too frazzled in this crazy world. I'm wondering if anyone can help please and recommend a good chicken-free, ethically reared wet food in Europe? We have a 2yr-old Kurilian Bobtail with a definite chicken allergy and almost certainly more besides. (The chicken allergy was confirmed through elimination / reintroduction and some fairly dramatic symptoms.) He won't eat rabbit (or wouldn't last time we tried), plus it's almost impossible to find anyway. He's been on Herrmann's venison, but he hates it and does still get some symptoms with it (although it could be a reaction to the celeriac, pear, coconut flakes, or mussel powder: why is nothing ever simple?). We've also tried ZiwiPeak venison; he likes that much better but it seems to make him sick. Maybe the chickpeas?
He has a slightly complicated history and lots of sensitivities ... we're not overly keen on the idea of beef or horse and would really rather find him something more like what he would eat in the wild (er, so not venison either really). Although I suppose on the Kurils, he'd have had fish and seabirds, but he can't tolerate mackerel or much tuna, and I don't know where to find puffin!
At least our other cat (17month-old seal lynx-point Siamese cross) can and will eat anything, so she can finish off what he can't eat. She's a shelter rescue and spent time on the streets while pregnant; she still eats every meal as if the next one might be a long way off. :-(
Anyway thank you very much for reading. Have a happy week :-)
Ps - in case anyone else is looking for the same, I've just ordered a variety of foods from a German site (petpoint-charly.com). They ship throughout Europe it would seem and carry quite of lot of different brands / formulations. Hopefully we'll find one that works for us.
