Economically no. I live in the UK and use Bella and Duke. Not sure if they trade in any other countries. I gave them my cat's weight and for £43.80 they send me just enough food to feed him for a month.

That's a bit pricey compared to supermarket cat food but frankly I can afford it and it's worth it for the health benefits as well as the convenience. Also I can't think of a company I've ever had better customer service from. They called me the day after I received my first box and asked if I had any issues.

From what I've read it can help delay the kidney problems that inevitably come with age. Like I say I've noticed an improved coat but more importantly he doesn't vomit anymore which he used to occasionally and he has firmer, less frequent, better smelling turds.

If you think of it a certain way, £43.80 per month is a lot cheaper than people food.

Speaking of which, what about leftovers from butchers and fishmongers? You can get not just meat and bones but liver and other parts, it's processed to human standards of hygiene, and it's cheap.

Probably a good, cheap way to go if you can find a butcher or fishmonger that's willing to sell it to you.

But I prefer the convenience of getting it delievered as I do with most stuff.
