Title: Anyone tried Wafcol salmon & potato dry food?
Post by: Mark on January 30, 2010, 11:39:14 AM
It is free from wheat, dairy, soya, oats etc. It does have corn but as the 3rd ingredient. 1st ingredient is Salmon, 2nd potato. It is reasonably prices - £11 for 3kg. I have ordered a small bag to try but wondered if anyone else had tried it. http://www.nutrecare.co.uk/special_detail.asp?prod_id=2877

Wafcol kindly sent me a free sample but unfortunately Noah wouldn't eat it. :tired:

Alice has tummy issues and always had since I got her. Nothing shows in tests. I have tried a few wheat-free foods but she won't touch them. Salmon is her fsvourite food so  :crossed: she will eat it.

 Probably Alice will like Wafcol, cats are all so different which is why we love them! :Luv2: Noah doesn't refuse much but when he does he gives me a confused look, like "why is that in my bowl?" I am guessing the Wafcol has a level of phosphate you are comfortable with? Is the Fish4Cats any good, IIRC that is also potato-based?

I don't suppose it would be any different. Alice doesn't have CRF although she is senior so I do watch her phosphorus intake - she eats mainly wet anyway - usually senior. I do sometimes put a small amount of binders in her food if it is very meaty or fishy. I don't suppose Fish4cats would be any lower is phosphorus.

EDA - I ordered a box of the Salmon Fish4cats with my last VetUK order - they all turned their noses up at it. Alice can tell the difference between Red & Pink  :evillaugh:

It looks like I won't be getting this. I cahsed my order up which was placed the Thursday before last. After a long conversation in the background, they told me they will send all the items out today except the Wafcol which is no longer stocked (I had the same thing with an item on the last order) so they will refund. I just got an email saying my order is being packed - it still shows the Wafcol  :Crazy:

Guess who won't be getting any more orders from me?  :shify:

E-mail Wafcol for a sample! They were very obliging with me, I just explained I wanted to try some hypoallergenic foods, and was a bit worries about mogster being fussy ...

I think I might as so many foods get wasted, although I can always give it to Justin & Jeremy, 2 torties that are always on the cadge - their owners thinks they are boys  :evillaugh:

 :rofl: One male tortie is a rarity, two could get them a spot in the newspaper. More so if either becomes pregnant ...  :doh:
