Ok, hit me with ideas please. I can’t afford to double the cost but am prepared to pay extra for European cat food, both dry and wet.

Anyone found good options? I’m in the UK which may limit my options

    Have you looked at zooplus.co.uk or their “outlet sibling”, bitiba.co.uk? German company selling many German cat foods, such as Animonda Carny (my regular), MAC’s Cat (my cats’ favourite), or anything made by Matina Gmbh, such as the similar but cheaper wet food brand Smilla (varied acceptance by my cats, also has dry foods). All these wet foods have a rather “chunky spam” consistency, adding a bit of water and mushing it in may make it tastier (and add water yay!), but it also means it’s very nutrient dense. You only need about 200g/day/cat, whereas you need about 300g/day of eg. Whiskas, essentially paying for water. Bozita is Swedish… Probably others that I forget.

      Fabulous response, I wish I could upvote you twice!

      I recall those brands from a look a couple of years ago focused in food that was better for them so I’ll definitely take a look down this route.

      The great thing is, my cats seem to hate food that they loved overnight so I’m not constrained by having to stick with their favorite lol
