Blue bottom cans

[Margot Lane]

Huh! my Farmina quail and pumpkin is back in stock, but with a new blue bottom! What “can” this mean? Is it merely a new form of packaging? But then why some of the flavors of it and not others?

Strange. Made me think of Gerber baby. Food

New packaging

Huh! When in doubt, visit the website. Weird, maybe it’s cheaper. Zorro was hoping it meant extra gravy.

So I opened up one of these new cans and went: “Uh oh.” The meat looked off, maybe b/c there is more air/room in the can for it to settle to the bottom. I did a small test run on Zorro who puked it right back up, should have trusted my instincts. However, the old style cans are fresh, loved by the cat. Will have to see how this plays out. When I called the company they said they were switching to blue to “match their logo.” I might be shopping for a new brand if this keeps up. Arg.

 

[maggie101]

Maybe a bad reaction to the blue? I have stopped buying farmina and buy orijen canned instead. One of the few foods my cat rarely throws up is their chicken with duck. If the meats only chicken she vommits

Reaaally wish this company would go back to the old quail and pumpkin. It’s just plain different now, and the blue bottom allows more air in, so it dries out before it’s even open. Why did they mess with it? I held my breath and ordered Evanger’s holistic grain free quail. No soy. Here’s hoping.

Yeah maybe the shape makes it more likely to leech chemicals into the food idk. Never seen a can like that before. But it looks way to focused on advertising. I could be wrong but idk.

 

[IndyJones]

I only feed cats in the kitchen/bff and performatrin ultra to Indy none of those cans look like that.

are you certain there is the same amount of food in the old cans and the blue bottom ones? Changes in labeling usually mean some change in ingredients, changes in the packaging usually means there is less food in the package. sometimes they add more water, sometimes more air.

Whatever it is my cat has snubbed it. We’ve moved on. Definitely looks like less of everything, except air, and less quail, with more mystery items.

Tentatively switched to Evanger’s holistic Quail dinner. Met with enthusiasm at the front end, and begging for seconds. We’ll see what the hind end has to say.

…and exhale! Transition seems to be working! Zorro told me precisely how much pumpkin tummy topper was needed. Smooth sailing & cheaper to boot.

…the only drawback being is that Evanger’s has a little bit too much moisture in it. I’ve actually taken to paper towelling his portions to get rid of the excess moisture before adding (just the right amount of) pumpkin. I don’t know how all of you out there with multiple kitties do it.
