Dry Cat Food

[Buffy]

Hello,
Can anyone recommend good quality (but cheap) dry cat food for my rescues? Round about the Torrox area. I usually prefer to buy 15 kilo bags . Or does anyone order theirs on line? Also can anyone tell me where I can get Purina Proplan 7+ for older moggies? Thanking you

Not sure I have seen such large bags of catfood here, perhaps someone else locally knows of a stockist.

We tend to buy Friskies or Brekkies as it isn't the very cheapest (ie from Lidl) but then not the most expensive. We have had cats with kidney problems in the past so don't want to give then the very cheapest supermarket brands.

We tend to keep an eye on the Carrefour offers (currently 3x2 on Brekkies, usually 8.10€ for 4kgs but reduces to 5.40€ a bag when you buy 3). The cheapest place for Friskies I have found is Mercadona who charge something like 4.50 for 3kgs.

One of our cats needs Purina One food for delicate stomachs and I can only get it at Carrefour (also currently on 3x2 offer so worth the trip for me). I have seen the Ultra food for older cats I think in Eroski in El Ingenio - tends to be around 8€ for 1.5kg.

May be cheaper for you to order from somewhere online if you want to buy in bulk. I have never bought any catfood online so if you find any bargains let me know!

Well Buffy whatis wrong with Tuna and Sardines ?
However Aldi perhaps ? there is a pet warehouse type place on the Polígono La Pañoleta in Velez which might be better for a big purchase, they may well stock the Purina stuff too. There is a German owned pet food shop on Torrox Costa it is not the cheapest place in creation.
Some of the internet outlets ship free, we get Hills stuff for the mog from one such, it is actually couriered from the UK F.O.C. and is a good price, about a third of what the vet wants.

the TD is nectar

Wicksey, Enrique and Lyric,

Top info as ever.Thanks. Things must be going well if we're getting down to this level of detail. The mob are going to love Spain. Lyric, care to share the website? Or do I have to bribe you?

I'd stay away from Friskies. http://petfoodtalk.com/catfoodreviews/friskies/
