Tesco Cat Food

We have 3 cats. One only likes gravy, the other is slightly picky over his food and the last one eats anything. My husband bought the tesco cat sachets to try and save some money. 3 cats are expensive, lol. All 3 will not touch it! The picky cat is crying because he's hungry and mows for food but still won't touch this food. (he's not starved he has dry food too.) I thought they were just being spoilt, boy was I wrong! We put the opened cat food sachet with half their food still in it, in the cupboard with a peg on to keep it fresh and ready for their morning meal. I was going to try them with it again for breakfast.I poured the sachet into their bowls and a smell similar to ammonia hit me (I did a hairdressing course and it has a strong smell, similar to box hair dyes). I showed my husband and he agreed it had a strong chemical smell. I put the dish back on the kitchen work surface and when I came back in a few moments later, the kitchen stunk of the ammonia smell. I told my husband there is no way we're feeding our cats this "stuff". I was extremely upset that we'd tried to coax them into eating this "food". God knows what's in it, but our cats knew from the smell of it there was something very wrong with it. I'm going to pay the extra and feed them the Felix sachets in gravy from now on. There's a reason this cat "food" is cheap. We now have 2 weeks worth of sachets that are going in the bin. I wouldn't give this food to anyone else to feed their cats with, it's not safe enough for mine to eat so i wouldn't want to risk it making my family's cats ill if they ate it long term. I definitely don't recommend it and neither do our cats.

I ordered a dry cat food for my cat once and i think she like it so since then ordering from them only. And its healthy for her.

Decided to try Tesco tinned cat food. It smelled awful. Went moldy after a day of can being open. my cat left after only a few tins. Must have been ill off it. Not seen him since. Very sad.

I have 2 cats , one overweight. I buy expensive diet dry food and wet expensive high protein . However I now keep to the specialist dry food and Tesco pouches at £2:50. Looking at the composition its comparatively good and they eat it. Having two cats I feed half a pouch morning and pm. This ensures all is eaten. Small amount of James light dry supplements. Some fresh fish now and then job done. Saving a small fortune.

My cat eats the more expensive sachets like Sheba and when I tried Tesco’s catfood, it refuses this food. Even from a distance it does not like the smell. Waste of money, even if it is cheap. I wonder what the ingredients are.....very suspicious.

Have to say that my cat loves this. Was very concerned about buying it and I even kept the receipt just in case, but she polished the lot off very quickly. Price was a big factor as the Sheba and Perle range was moving towards £4.80 per box. This is £2.50 and I have since recommended it to friends who have also purchased and their cats are fine with this also. Will be repeat buying.

My cat has really taken to it, normally only Whiskas will do but my cat now has an appetite for the Tesco brand. It's the right price at the moment and good value when your cat cleans the bowl every day !

I have 2 very greedy, normally unfussy cats who both ate the Tesco cat food pouches, but both were sick around 30-45 minutes afterwards. To ensure it was the cat food and not due to them both being ill, I tried it on 2 other occasions a number of days and then 2 weeks later, and the same thing happened. The rest has gone in the bin!

Cats have refused to eat this and go hungry, smells rather odd as well.

What's odd is the dog normally mops up what's left but no the dog won't touch either,

Taking it back.... Rubbish

I purchased a £5 24x100g box of Tescos own brand sachets for my ex-stray cat who will eat ANYTHING including crisps if they're left unattended! We normally buy him sainsburys own brand or whiskers, but have tried and tested every other own brand with great success. He point blank refuses to touch this food! I have offered the food to friends and family with cats, and they all report the same thing. Their normally fuss free cats won't touch this food. So i'm currently stuck with 22 sachets which I can't shift!
