Big cans?

post #1 of 15

Thread Starter 
I'm looking for which brands come in the 13/13.2 oz cans (or larger). I have 17 cats and I hate to open a zillion little cans. So far I've found: Friskies, Sophisticat, Felidae, Special Kitty, and Hy-Vee store brand. That's all I can find so far. Any others I'm missing? I just want to know which brands come in larger cans, don't worry about quality, price or availability.

I'm looking at petfooddirect, but it's taking a long time to click on all the brands. So far I found Triumph.

Keep 'em coming!

I know when you have a lot of cats to feed it can be costly. Those brands are not the best. But do what you have to do. Wellness comes in large cans now which are cheaper then two 6 oz cans - but its still higher then you probably want to pay.

I have 2 cats now (will be 3 when we get our next Ocicat) and I mainly feed the 6 oz cans, but now buy the larger ones in Wellness to save some money.

I feed the kittens at the farm I work at Priority wet food...it comes in 22 ounce cans. Only place that sells it is Safeway though.

It is $1.19 for a 22 ounce can here...the Chicken in Gravy is fairly good. The only other varieties they have in that size are "turkey and giblets" and "salmon dinner".

The kittens also get Sophistacat which was already mentioned. I only use the 13.2 ounce cans.

The Friskies flavor that I feed doesn't come in larger cans...but actually it is cheaper here to get a 5.5 ounce can vs. a 13 ounce can (per ounce).

All together the kittens/cat there eat ~50 ounces of wet food a day (there are 5 kittens and 3 one year olds). I feed my 18 raw fed cats for the same price a day as 8 cats that eat low quality wet food...

Like I said, right now I'm just making a list of which foods come in larger cans. No price or quality considerations, it's just a list.

Seems just the lower quality ones come in bigger cans, doesn't it?

I'm feeding about the same number, so I feel your pain at opening thousands of tiny cans a day. One thing to consider, is if you have a smaller/not chain pet store, is asking if they can order in any specific brands in larger cans.
