catsThanks to archersangel for the warning about Purina. I also wanted to ask my question as a post instead of a reply to her post. So here it is:
Does anyone know if the producers of Science Diet have made recent changes to their formulation, or how I could find out? I have two thirteen-year-old cats who have eaten nothing but Science Diet their whole lives. Not always the same variety of Science Diet (hairball formula, senior cats formula, adult cats formula, etc.) but always Science Diet. Suddenly they don't like it. I did make the possible mistake of putting down some diabetic food from my vet since one of them has developed diabetes, and now they know there is some other kind of cat food in the world. But they are very clearly telling me how they don't like the Science Diet any more. I wouldn't put it past the manufacturers, who used to have a highly respected product guaranteed to provide a cat with all the nutrition he/she needed, to quietly change the formulation to something cheaper and less nutritious. But I don't know. It could just be my cats.
