I'm very thankful lilly has never ever been fussy about changing her food. And when she started to get fussy about her kitten food turning her nose up at the different flavours so much so she'd probably eat 1 out of three pouches. So the hubby picked up the Ever So... food from pets at home and I am pretty please with it though I wish it came in bigger servings (only comes in 85g cans)!  I'm thankful the range comes in a vast range of flavours and consistancies mousse/pate, fillet, chunks and a duo thats either the mousse/pate style topped with either fillet or chunks! So far I have found it in salmon sole tuna chicken turkey beef lamb and then mixtures of these flavours the animal derivatives are around the 4% mark 75% moisture and an over all protein content of 10% crude ash was between 3.5 and 4% for the varying flavours. Lilly really likes this food and between 30-45p per can I can't complain on price but if it a good balanced food?

Here are the contents of all the foods that we bought her from the range does this seem adequate. It says on the guidelines 3-4 cans over two meals I feed lilly three cans a day one in the morning one at lunch and one at night this has always been the case with lilly and I'm wondering if this is adequate?

Sorry I know thats a lot of info to cram into one reply but what do all you nutrition experts think am I onto something with this? Theres 3 or so different consistancies mousse/pate, fillet/chunks and a combo of the two! So plenty roatation regarding flavours and texture. But I am not sure if this is nutritionally sound all this about crude ash and fibe and grain free confuses me! I have noticed that since being on this food lilly has been peeing more and poops have been around the same number but smaller though still formed.
