The small pouches allow you to keep each meal fresh and only feed your cat as much food as he will eat so it’s less wasteful. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

About Gourmet Mon Petit In addition, all three of these recipes include fish and fish derivatives. While this is not as precise as we might wish, it doesn’t always mean something bad. It could refer to an ingredient such as fish oil or fish broth. In fact, as long as there are no harmful artificial preservatives linked to fish in a pet food, it’s usually good to see fish ingredients. Iams is nutritionally complete, wheat-free, and contains 89% animal protein (higher than most other cat foods, including some wet varieties). It’s specially designed to support a strong immune and digestive system, and helps to reduce tartar built-up. May be too tough on senior teeth and gums, though. Gourmet Mon Petit Cat Food is made by Nestle-Purina in the UK. Mon Petit is just one of the Gourmet product lines, though it may be the most popular. Other wet lines include Gold, Perle, Revelations, Solitaire, and Nature’s Creations.

As we mentioned earlier, “high quality” is a subjective term. Purina states that their Gourmet Mon Petit recipes use high quality ingredients. Labeling in the United States requires somewhat more information about ingredients than in the UK. However, in the case of these recipes, Gourmet Mon Petit does provide some information. The kibbles are high in readily-available protein, calcium and other nutrients, which your growing kitten needs and the recipe also contains taurine (an amino acid, essential for kitty’s eyesight) plus added vitamins and chelated minerals to help maximise nutrient absorption. Most importantly, cats of all ages love it – but at this price, you will want to promote your feline to more affordable adult food as they grow a bit older. Since this food does use some named meat ingredients and it does not use the cereals found in some other wet cat foods, we think that it is above average. Is it the best cat food made in the UK? Probably not. But it appears to be a good cat food. The recipes in this meaty variety include 4 percent game, 4 percent liver, and 4 percent beef. Many cats should like these flavors.As mentioned in the previous review, Gourmet Mon Petit uses vegetable protein extracts which are not identified. These protein extracts are often items such as soy or peas which can increase the protein percentage though they may not be ideal for cats.

Purina does have detractors. It’s a large corporation. It does not produce boutique foods. It buys ingredients in bulk. Its recipes are based on nutritional science instead of what would look good on your own plate. In reality, they could include pea protein or protein from soy, maize, or other plants. Vegetable proteins can increase the protein percentage of the food but they are not generally something that your cat would choose to eat, if he could choose.

By definition, vegetable protein extracts are all products of vegetable origin in which the proteins have been concentrated by an adequate process to contain at least 50% crude protein, as related to the dry matter, and which may be restructured or textured.According to Purina, Gourmet Mon Petit uses high quality tender cuts of meat and fish in a tasty sauce. Vitamins are added to keep your cat healthy and strong. (“High quality” is always subjective.) Sourcing and Manufacturing

Purina, the manufacturer of Gourmet Mon Petit in the UK, has occasionally had a recall in the United States. However, considering the enormous volume of pet food the company makes at more than 20 manufacturing facilities world-wide, they are generally considered to be a reputable manufacturer. Alarming-sounding ingredients such as ‘animal derivatives’ and ‘meat meal’ often refer to byproducts of the meat industry. This stuff is meat, and perfectly safe (all pet food sold in the UK has to be safe for human consumption) – it’s just not meat that humans traditionally eat. It’s high in the meat proteins and essential amino acids (such as taurine) that cats can’t live without, and it may be just as tasty for your cat as rump steak is for you.
