i looked at the Bozita tins, but the ingredients didn't seem as good. Fortunately mine like Bozita, I just have to have a few fosters in, as the girls can't get through it!! They have the rabbit chunks and turkey pate at the moment, they seem to like the pate cartons.

Yep, much cheaper in quality   :sick:
I have a cupboard of neatly stacked cartons that they wont eat   :rofl: 1 every 2 weeks is the best they manage and each time someone throws it up so im giving up with it  :tired:

I did notice that Zooplus now have rabbit and 'rich in chicken' varieties now

Rob the tetra packs are chunks in jelly and the tins are like supermeat and had hard lumpy bits of offal in them  :sick:

Cosma to me smells like peas  :-:

The bozita tins are different to the cartons? whats the point of that? I got the impression from the reviews it was the same stuff :( go figure, I just used cartons for the sake of not wanting massive tins all over the place (cartons stack neatly in the cupboard :rofl: )

I got the tins of Turkey Cosma, and the girls wont eat it, it is supposedly in Jelly, but not sure how I would describe it. They didn't like Shmusy either.

Thanks Christine... Will definately try those! Think my boys will like them :) If anyone else has any ideas about big tins (canned food) though I would be very grateful as I know these will work out rather cheaper as even though I buy in bulk and get the offers, I still end up spending an absolute fortune.

cosma do tins of shredded meat in jelly.  It's a gravyish jelly if that makes sense!  If you add a bit of water as I do, it looks more like a gravy than a jelly.  It comes in different sized tins, inc 400g.

Blip has similar tastes, Debsymiller.  You might like to try Schmusy pouches from Zooplus - they are very economical and very gravified.  Yet they have a reasonably high meat content.  I'll find you the link, hang on...

Well I want some advice really... My boys are rather fussy when it comes to canned food and generally don't go for it, they much prefer pouches but in all honesty, pouches are very expensive as my boys eat 3 pouches each a day plus a bit of dry. The reason they usually turn their noses up at canned food (well I think anyway) is because of the texture... they're not overly keen on a pate type texture, or chunks of meat they tend to like little flakes and they prefer gravy to jelly generally. They're not really fussy and will usually eat whatever I give them but if they're not hugely keen, they will waste a lot which I am trying to avoid.
Their absolute favourites are gourmet Pearle, Nutures balance and at a push, Felix AGAIL- the more moist the better! Can anyone suggest a flakey, very moist canned food? I just don't want to buy loads and them turn their noses up like I have in the past.
