2 nights ago I opened a new bag of Country Acres for the ferals I care for. I noticed immediately that is smelled different. (I dont like the smell at all actually.) Ive been buying this food for months.
So the next mornign I called the company and left a message. In the meantime I took it back to the store and had them open a new bag. It smelled the same. He said he would look into it for me.
I later got a call back from the company saying they did not change the formula and that a darker color is normal however she could not explain the change in smell.
The owner of the pet store called back to say he couldnt get an answer but if the cats are eating it - it should be fine. He said since the situation last year with the pet food - these companies are being extra careful. He even talked to a woman who feeds the same to her ferals and they are eating MORE of it.
Im guessing everything is fine - but I just want more opinions. It makes me even more nervous since the company didnt change the formula and cant tell me why it would smell different...
Am i being paranoid??? The cats are eating it - but I dont need 20+ cats to get sick.
ALSO does anyone know if Country Acres is made by Purina? Thats what the owner of the store said - but I couldnt find it online anywhere.
THANKS!!
