Did it say who had bought the companies, or why? Makes one wonder why...was it to do away with competition, or were these companies having $$ difficulty?
I'm bummed by the news...hadn't heard it before. Wellness has been one of the best quality cat foods available, one of the few with no grains in their canned food and less grain in the dry food than most others. In the PM I feed my cats a raw-based diet that I make, myself, most of the time but do keep some top qualilty canned on hand when I can't get all the ingredients or don't have time. In the morning, to save time and $$ I feed a 50/50 mix of Wellness Turkey & Salmon and Nature's Variety Chicken and Rice. The furkids all like it and are doing well. Some of my older kittys are decidedly finicky with the canned foods and I have to be able to offer them a choice. Wellness and Nature's Variety are canned brands with no grains. Most of them like both of those as well as Innova, Calif. Natural, Newman's Own and Evolve, though some flavors better than others. Recently, a store where I get lower prices on most brands started carrying Merrick, another top quality brand with some interesting flavor combintions and one of my finicky geriatric girls loves their California Roll. My two youngest will eat anything they can stick their noses into. Innova recently came out with a dry dog food formula with NO GRAINS, and it would be great if they would do the same for cats. I had not heard those companies had been sold...Guess I will have to pay more attention and keep reading those labels religiously. Sally in San Jose
