Sardines

[Kazz]

Well if any of you fancy giving your cat a weekly treat of sardines (Cleo has them twice a week) to keep her 'regular' as she is older now :roll: well this week I have tried Asda's own '19p' each tin in tomato sauce Cleo adores them she drinks the tomato sauce and eats a little of the sardine.

That's a real bargain Kazz....I might just try that on Cassie some time;)

[Kazz]

I think it helps as they get older, had a little problem with Cleo and constipation (enough that she was worrying me to death) the sardines seem to have helped beyond all my wildest dreams with no vets intervention

[Mags]

You come up with some good tips Kazz, I'm still adding the water to Cassie's food and she loves it!

You should start a thread in Health and Nutrition where members can add all their useful tips;)

[Kazz]

Its the tom sauce Cleo adores and these cheap one appear to have loads ;)

[borderdawn]

Yes Kazz, I get mine from Asda for the Cats too, and for the dogs, they all love them and at that price really cheap meals for now and again.
Dawn.

[Kazz]

Oh yes the girls adore them too.

[Fran]

My dogs have those as part of their raw diet Kazz because they don't tolerate raw fish too well. I think the are the smart price range at Asda...and yes my cats love them too ;)

Some of you may remember Patches, who passed away at 20 this Spring: well, she adored sardines, but the ones in olive oil; never constipated. And Misty, who passed at 19 1/2 was also a sardine lover. Leia looks at them in horror and tries to bury them; maybe I should try the ones in tomato sauce......

Never tried sardines but might just give them a go. Kitty constipation is never a problem in our household . . . . they get through litter like it's going out of fashion :shock:

[Kazz]

Yes DM give the tomato sauce ones a go my two hated the ones in oil.

And Yola they are but young yet your feline housemates.

Winston used to love his sardines too. Another thing which used to help with his constipation was sometimes a little melted butter. My all time fav, when things began to get difficult for him to move his bowls was slippery elm bark syrup, 1ml twice a day.
Eva and Bernie get sardines as a treat too but not as often as Winston got them;)

[dandysmom]

Elaine, I'd forgotten about butter...Patches was a good cat but she WOULD sneak up on the table and steal butter! Maybe I will try the ones in tomato sauce but just for Leia...I prefer the olive oil ones. :-D

[MrsH]

OK, now I feel guilty for not giving mine sardines!

Don't give them many treats either! I'm obviously a very bad person!

[Donna]

Never given mine sardines, but may just try them now!

[Kim]

I regularly give mine sardines in tom sauce and Caleb too, like Fran as part of his BARF diet. They all love them! Bargain price Kazz - shame our nearest Asda is 14 miles away! You are full of great information!

;) they are on my shopping list for tomorrow LOL x

That's a real bargain ... and all the animals seem to love the tomato sauce - it must be a nice change for them.
