I know a lot of people have switched brands after last year. I tried Evo
for about 6 months but my kitty just didn't seem to enjoy it and I started
seeing problems with her coat. There also seemed to be a problem with
consistant quality - so I went back to Euk's Lamb & Rice. She likes it and
her coat got healthy again...and I think the Euk ingredients were actually a
bit better than Evo's.
So Wednesday night, I went to pick up a new bag at Petco. They had it on
sale....but then I noticed down the aisle was some more with the new
packaging. Ok...makes sense. Then I walked over to the new packaging and
read the ingredients. Chicken, Corn Gluten Meal...and the lamb was down on
the list. That didn't seem right - certainly I must be look at the wrong
package. Spin it around and nope - Lamb & Rice. Lamb is like the 10th
item! I went back and got an old package. Ingredients - Lamb, Catfish,
Chicken meal, corn grits...no Corn gluten meal, not much filler stuff. They
TOTALLY changed the ingredients!!!!! COMPLETELY!!!! and not any indication
on the packaging that they did it!!
I went back and cleaned off the shelf of the old stuff - bought it all. But
what am I gonna do when it runs out? My poor picky kitty
(
So for anyone that uses Euk - start reading the labels and compare them for
the other types. And stock up on the old stuff.
I'll be sending Euk a nasty letter later today - but spread the word.
Kitties who can't have chicken - are liable to get pretty sick with the
change and many of them may just snub the new formula.
