Tucker is really happy, playing, eating like a pig though......pretty normal actually. I'm surprised his number isn't a little bit lower given how happy he is. I have a question about Whiskas larger cans. I emailed Whiskas Australia re. carb count and they sent me this:

"Our recipes with the lowest carb count would be: - WHISKAS Adult Loaf with Salmon - WHISKAS Adult Loaf with Tuna - WHISKAS Adult Loaf with Ocean Fish - WHISKAS Adult Loaf with Pilchards These recipes should have less than 5% Carbohydrate dry matter basis."

Given that we are silly people with 3 cats, buying Whiskas would be pretty awesome compared to 6.00 a day for Fancy Feast (which still seems to have sauce to me....but they swear the "Classic" is very low carb). I would love it if anyone who has info on Whiskas or an alternative cost-effective wet food. I'm also looking into Bron's recipes.

At the moment we are using BARF, which for Tucker alone is running about 14.00 a week, CORE which is 3.00 a medium sized can, which equates to about 6.00-7.00 per day if we feed all 3 cats low carb.

Ideas? Go!
 
I feed a frankenprey diet and buy all my food from WW. The same food we eat , not the pet food raw.
I buy kangaroo, lamb, pork, beef, giblets, kidneys, hearts, chicken (wings, necks, thighs, drumsticks, any part of the chicken is fine)..
I have a good relationship with the butchers at the local WW and they give me off cuts of pork and lamb for about $3.99 a kilo. I cut off the fat and it’s still cheap.
I sometimes buy minced beef and pork too. I freeze it all the day I buy it and get it out the night before I need it.
I put them in portions of 40 grams and give 4 portions a day. I find it is cheaper than tinned food and the quality of the food they get is very good. The chicken is the cheapest but the off cuts are cheap too. So are the giblets hearts and kidney. I also give egg yoke and sardines once a week.
It’s a bit more work than opening a can but worth it.
Happy to give you more info if you are interested.
