does anyone here have any experience with this food? i think Petcetera is only in Canada. they have many varieties of canned food containing a high % of actual fish. i've been feeding my two cats this and they seem to prefer it over other brands (merrick, science diet, nutro) that i feed them. they especialy go crazy for the cans that contain mackerel, sardines, calamari, and lobster (fine diners i guess)
. these foods also tend to be cheaper than most other canned foods. i'm just wondering if this is a good food or a case of too good to be true?

Hi,
I can not find any nutritional information on this line of foods online, can you post ingredients and guaranteed analysis?

so, is there anything i should be concerned about with these foods? i mean, it seems like really good quality stuff for fairly cheap...i'm wondering if i'm missing something here or if it is indeed a quality cat food for a value price?

I think it sounds fine...does it list specifically that is is nutritionally complete - w/taurine as part of the vitamins and minerals? I'd would imagine so..and I love the petgold flavors that are comparable.

it doesn't say that actually. the info i posted is the extent of whats on the can pretty much. i'll continue using it and mix in some other wet food brands (SD, Nutro, Solid Gold, Merricks) as i have been. these two seem to like a wide selection...
