Another VetUK gripe

[Daisymac]

I would check the Royal Canin packets and your Technical one cos I dont think they are the same.

I ran out of Technical about 6 months ago cos was late ordering and looked at everything to try and find something similiar to no avail.

It also could be that in Canada Technical is not the same as in the UK.

I order 15kg bags online which last about 6 months..think its 15kg, they are about the same size as 30 litre cat litter bags.

I get it in 15Kg bags too,  it is roughly £50 ??,  mine lasts about 2-3 months with 10 cats that also have a 'wet food' meal a day.  Ocean fish is the fav of my lot.

I read somewhere that Techni-cal are the name for Royal Canin in Canada.

Edit - found it http://www.royalcanin.ca/products/tc/index_en.php

Thanks Mark,  Royal Canin is definitely easier to get hold of.

Mine also eat TechniCal bisuits and wouldnt change to any thing else, and neither would my cats  LOL

I guess so but I have been on a downer with them ever since they started stocking Iams.

I feed mine TechniCal,   because of the Iams press etc,  slightly changing the subject but are they any other foods that people would recommend that are creulty free and compare as well to TechniCal on the vitamin front and are easier to get hold of than TechniCal.

Its no different to buying your frontline from them, your avoiding a vet visit purchasing either product from them

Also there should be a big warning about Bob Martin dog spot-on being lethal to cats!

A huge one, although the products that contain the lethal drug are not for sale on vet uks site.

....Now i know we're in a recession....but this a) smacks of desperation and b) decreases my trust in what I considered a reputable company

 

Also not good saying to people "instead of going to the vet" - Vets can pick up on other things on routine visits?

If you actually compare the active ingredients they are exactly the same as the 2 mentioned veterinary grade products, therefore cheaper alternatives.
If bob martin made a fipronil spot on it would be the same as frontline but with their name on it, so ok to use. Although i wouldnt out of principle

Blimey, they're going downhill fast.

"Now available on the website is the Bob Martin range of Double Action Spot On Treatments. These are a non-prescription equivalent to Advantage, so you won’t need a trip to the vet before your next flea treatment.

Also now available is Johnson’s 4 Fleas. This range of oral flea treatments is an alternative to Capstar."

Very unprofessional of them!
