probably doesn't affect anyone else, but just in case

I contacted the American manufacturer, and have just heard that UK based companies will no longer be able to obtain A Taste of the Wild,  Zooplus's stock comes from France so it will go on being able to offer it

Trigger is so pleased - he shows no sign yet of going off it :crossed:

bought this at much reduced price from Zooplus, and Trigger is keener on it than Dreamies or Temptations

Wow, it must be super tasty then! I think I'd stockpile and then as Lottie suggests gradually mix in with something else when the time comes.

I just looked it up - sounds good enough to eat! Taste of the Wild – Rocky Mountain cat food is made in USA from roasted venison and smoked salmon. This recipe is supplemented with sweet potatoes and peas

well I've ordered 3 more from Zooplus

what's the betting the day they arrive is the day he decides he doesn't like it anymore :shify:

If it was me I would prob stockpile it and then as I got down to the last couple of bags start mixing something else in.

Tricky one. I remember when Willow got into a premium food made by Mars - I forget the name, but she would eat little else. They stopped selling it in the UK. It was about £5 for a box of 12 pouches here. The only other place that sold it was Zooplus but they sold it in 4s for about £5  :Crazy: - It looks as if they have stopped selling it as well.

bought this at much reduced price from Zooplus, and Trigger is keener on it than Dreamies or Temptations - have never in his 10 years known him to go for a dry food like he does this one

and its no grain high meat content premium food

BUT their website says they are discontinuing exports to the UK - which will be why Zooplus are discounting it

dilemma is, as the BB date is May 2011, do I lay up a stock and then take it away from him when I eventually run out, or do I ration the 2 kgs I have and basically use it as an occasional treat?

does anyone else use it?
