I know it isnt anything bike related, but thought I would share as there are a few cat owners on the forum,

I have found small green plastic pieces in a couple of Felix AGAIL cat food (senior)
Ive made Purina aware who werent great tbh,
So it is just a warning if you use Felix or any wet Purina product to be vigilant for green plastic in your cat food pouches.

Love the title of this thread.
My pre-opening-thread thought was :

You found a cat in your petfood?
Strange, its usually made of horse Laughing
*wonders, was it a tabby or a ginger tom*

It's not a great food anyway tbh. It's often cheaper to buy better quality stuff in bulk from https://www.zooplus.co.uk. If you can read German then the german site is slightly cheaper. Mine quite like Grau but I buy a few others to give them some variety.

None of that stuff is. They zap it to within an inch of it's like and then add 'nutrients; afterwards. There's a lot of junk in animal food.

You could try https://www.lilyskitchen.co.uk/ which my cat absolutely loved. Once the new hound is a bit more settled she'll get it too. It's not cheap stuff mind you.

And probably totally wasted on an animal who's taste buds have been ruined from licking it's own arse. Razz

My pooch eats Royal Canin Maxi Junior and was declared only today on her 6 month health check by the vet
to be an awesome specimen of a dog. Well formed, great musculature, terrific coat, bright eyes the lot. They
do a range of cat food too. https://www.royalcanin.co.uk/

I didnt know this Felix was that crap tbh, has to be better then that Super meat we used to feed our cats on that lived to be 20 back in the day lol
Had a couple of packs of fresh food from Purina, and sent off a samples bottle with one of the pieces and the package in.

picture attached of one piece, there were four in total, the phone operator asked if it was milk top green, which was a rather accurate guess if they have never had this before . .

Keep us updated on the outcome. Thumbs Up

I usually buy Felix for the cat that owns me but, I think I'll buy her something different for now. Unless she pisses my bed again, that is.

Not good! I wonder what excuses they come out with to justify this. Social media can work wonders to make them act quicker, until they issue the "it's all ok now" statement, sweeping any issues aside calmly.

I've been using the natural dog food company for about 5 years for our Westie.

I'm sure this stuff used to rate a lot higher. Maybe they've back doored a few horses in the warehouse? Who knows ...

Where do you draw the line of how much you spend on pet food?

When you see the stuff dogs seek out and eat with relish nothing accidentally getting in pet food could be worse Sick
Cats are usually more fastidious but still have their moments.

A small bit of plastic isn't much to worry about TBH, incredibly easy for something to tumble into a vat and go through the choppper.

I disagree. It is concerning because these companies are getting away with killing our pets for the monetary gain. There should be stricter laws on pet food in general because you have no idea how bad some of these ingredients are for your dog/cat.

It's not unusual for food companies to receive customer complaints from chancers who have spiked the product in the hope of compensation. I'm not suggesting you're one such, just that their apparent cool response simply might be caution while they investigate. Green plastic will easily lead them to any likely damaged component in the manufacturing equipment.

I once opened up a bag of Baker's Senior only to find an Albanian baby inside.

Absolutely true.

Got a letter today, they had carried out a full blah blah blah,
They say the only way it could have got into the food is in the raw frozen meat cubes, these are 25/30kg,
Sorry and here is £70 in Postal Orders.
