I stopped feeding it a couple of years ago when they were bought out by Mars. I figured the formula would change to create a better bottom line! After all, that is why Mars invested in it...to make money! It used to be a great food, IMHO. I don't know what the changes were, but, you can bet it was to cheaper ingredients. I now feed Orijen. Expensive, but, worth it, again, IMHO.

Has anyone else noticed anything with this food? Does anyone know what the changes were that they made in the product? I did not keep the old label to compare. We are thinking of switching to Blue but don't know much about it. Thanks di EremShepherds.net ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
