Another for Butchers tripe here, I was feeding Naturediet but the worst thing for me was making special trips to buy it or ordering online, it always meant paying out a fair amount of money in one go...times are hard here too, and it seems easier and more affordable to chuck a few tins in my trolley and add it to the weekly shopping bill.
I know it's not the best, but the way I see it, it's a happy medium

I did make the mistake of buying Winalot one week and the texture was horrible, all spongey and no substance, went straight back to Butchers.

I think I paid £11 for bag, she only has a few mixed in so it does last. Only kept her on it as last owner fed it. Maybe it's the biscuits that are too rich too?

There is a well known dog food review site that states ...
This food receives a 1-star rating simply because there is nothing lower.


We cannot comprehend feeding a dog on a mixture of cereals and “derivatives” of animal or vegetable origin. There are no official definitions for those ingredients, and assurances that there is a minimum of 4% chicken in the food does nothing to decrease our horror at the idea of feeding this food to a canine.

Another butchers here, just the tripe or chicken and tripe. It is the only tinned food mine will eat.

Avoid Pedigree, Winalot and anything that is full of cereals and 'derivatives' of any type!


Other decent wet foods:

Naturediet

Nature's Harvest

Lily's Kitchen

Lukullus
How come the trays as opposed to the pouches? I have just bought some pouches for one of my boys as vet thinks he may have food allergies - are the pouches not as good as the trays? ta

Change her over very gradually, adding a few pieces of the new kibble at a time, gradually reducing her old food until she is eating all new food.

You could try Skinners Field and Trial turkey,salmon or the duck, they are the best in the range,wheat free. Depends on your budget really but i think the duck and rice is around £20

Thank you all I will gradually change her over.

However confused now- should I change her totally on to kibble then or keep a mix with meat and few biscuits?

I would add a little meat like you usually do and gradually change the kibble over
