milk and fish derivatives.

Found some Sainsbury's own biscuits that are a great protein and fat percentage but they say they have fish and milk derivatives, will these be ok?

I'm sure the fish oil in the cat kibble is okay tho.

Sounds dubious. I had a look on their website, and could only see two dry cat foods of their own brand, Sainsbury's Complete Rabbit, Duck & Chicken and Sainsbury's Complete Senior Chicken, Carrot & Rice. Protein and fat is about right on both, but the first five are a four letter word beginning with C and meaning poo Smile

Cereals - no nutritional value, used as a filler in cheap food
Meat/Animal Derivatives - Parts from an animal, could be bones, could be chicken legs and beaks, but not 'meat' or 'organs'.
Fish & Fish Derivatives - Fish = bad, and fish derivatives are the same as above, namely scales, fins, and so forth.
And item number 5 (and 6 for that matter) is fat (6 is sugar).

In short...junk food. You could replace the Go Cat component with either of them, but with the milk (and milk derivatives), I wouldn't bother, you're saving £~1.60 on about a kilo, which over the course of feeding one hog is less than pennies a day. Either way, it'd be your cheap tat food, and it may not have the same odour control features of Go Cat (which is why we (pretty much) all include a small amount of it in our mixes), in which case, no point to it.
