I just opened a new case of Blue Healthy Gourmet Flaked Chicken Entree. I was about knocked over by the disgusting smell, and it looks wrong.
I held the can in front of Tolly and Queen Eva, they both took one whiff and backed away, looking at me like I was offering them poison.
I opened another can, thinking perhaps this can had been contaminated in some way. Same thing. Absolutely disgusting color and smell.
Now, I know in the cheaper foods quality can be inconsistent and you do get what the cats will consider a "bad batch" now and then, not because the food is harmful but because the manufacturer found a way to make it cheaper, my cats could always tell the difference though.
But when I am paying $1.25 for a 3 oz can of food, (and that is the by the case price) I expect consistency and quality in every single can.
I have written to both Blue and the on line store I purchased the food from. This is why I feed more than one brand, so I know I at least have something else here Tolly and Queen Eva will eat. But I never expected this problem from Blue.
It's so discouraging.
