Says who? Since the three-ish years it’s been owned by purina I’ve been working around it and no formulas have changed from what I’ve noticed and I’ve only heard one complaint from the many people who I sell it to on a daily basis and it was about a consistency change in their cheaper brand whole earth farms so the lady stopped buying that particular canned flavor for her cats and no other issues.You are missing the point. I was saying Merrick used to be a good brand, but after Purina bought the company, its quality went way downhill.
