I find it tends to make the pee smell very fishy.... :sick:

We don't need that with Grandparents do we  :evillaugh:

Mine are long gone (20+years)

One thing I am wary of is I read somewhere that tinned salmon has struvite in so can cause obvious issues. I don't give her much though.

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Is the red dearer than the pink? I know they prefer the pricier one!  :sneaky:

Red is about double the price of pink. Tinned salmon reminds me of Sunday afternoons when Grandma and Granddad cam over. Tinned salmon & cucumber sandwiches followwed by French Fancies or Battenberg (I hate both of them  :sick: )

Mine had some for tea. They aren't fussy over red or pink. They way they wolf it down I don't think they stop to check to colour.  :rofl:

Gave Winston some once - he sniffed it looked at me in disgust and ran off !
None of mine will eat Salmon , only Winston will eat a tiny bit of Tuna .
Only Winston likes cod loin -none of the others will eat fish -he also likes prawns (none of the others do ) but only m+s ones !

LOL!  :evillaugh: discerning tastes has Alice  :)

I don't buy it for mine, but I buy it for myself and judging by the way they act when I'm trying to eat it it would go down a treat with them - shame  :innocent:

Alice loves red salmon but won't touch pink. For months, it has been on offer everywhere - BOGOF or 1/2 price so works out £1.50 a tin. She gets I get 4 portions out of a small can so not too bad. Today in Tesco, it was back up to £3 a can - there is no way I am paying that. Then I saw Glenryk Medium red Salmon for £1.40 (I have to admit, I missed the word medium) - when  opened it, it looks like Pink salmon but maybe a hint more pink.
 I thought Alice would be the judge - she sniffed it and walked off in disgust  :tired:
