Due to COVID, I'm a little tight on my finances, and have downgraded my cats wet food... I am now debating between Tractor Supply and ALDI. He will be having this on top of however much Dr Elsey's dry salmon/chicken he pleases. He also drink plenty of water, so I'm actually not too worries about his liquid intake.
Here are the what I think are the pros and cons of each brand. If you *had* to choose, which one would you pick and why?
I'm also open to any other brand recommendations in the same price range!
Both have a Turkey and Giblet flavor, so that will be the basis of my comparison:
