So the Honest Kitchen venture didn't make it very far. Last night Shanoah wouldn't eat after eating it for a week. I put down her food bowl, she took a bite, stared at it, stared at me, and then walked away in disinterest. She was definitely tired of it because I gave her some canned afterward and she gobbled it up. Her being sick of it was my fault because I mostly exclusively fed it to her with little canned. I'll have to feed her canned for a while now and reintroduce HK.
Well anyways, I was curious about what people thought about cheaper canned foods? And by cheaper I mean that one's that are 65 cents-90 cents. Those Fancy Feasts, IAMS, and Friskies out there. The reason for switching to mostly HK and little canned was because it was easier on the wallet and a great food that's healthy. But now since I'm back to canned for a while I want to add some cheaper brands to my rotation.
Right now I'm doing:
Nutro Natural Choice
Nature's Variety
Wellness
Organix
Honest Kitchen (taking a hiatus now)
Well I went to Petco today and decided to look at Fancy Feast and IAMS. I decided to leave out Friskies because all the non-fish flavors I looked at had corn, wheat, and flour. So after thoroughly going through both of those options, I decided to pick IAMS Purrfect Delights Chicken and Delicacies Turkey & Liver along with Fancy Feast Classic Chicken Feast and Classic Turkey & Giblets Feast. Those are the best ones that I thought looked good with no grains and no carrageenan.
I guess I fail to see why those are so cheap. I mean I guess out of the ones I chose out in the Fancy Feast Classic you can look pass the by-products (at least chicken and turkey are the #1 ingredients) and in the IAMS you can look pass broth being the #1 ingredient with the meat as #2. Other then that the other ingredients and guaranteed analysis check out. I guess just because they're that cheap doesn't mean they're necessarily that bad because those brands could be just more efficient with their operations resulting in a lower overall cost.
What do people think of these?
