Re: Wellness and Eagle Pack

[Faye Lewis]

Well that really annoys me because when I called the company and read them 
the code, they told me no change has been made.

Faye,
The difference is noted on the can. I don't remember what the code
is but there was a upc code and that's how someone told me the
difference between the older stock (original ingredients and the new
ingredient) She said her cat ate the one with the one code but didn't
care for the other. So she inquired to the company and then they
told her.
I don't remember if its rice, corn or what the new ingredient is but
for cat who was not suppose to use that one ingredient in her
feeding Wellness now does.
