Re: Wellness and Eagle Pack

[Faye Lewis]

I had gotten in a new shipment in August. That was shipment I had problems 
with.  I normally buy anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks worth of food at a time and 
I was completely out of food then.  The time period is about right.  I 
called them in August.

Faye this is at least 6 months ago maybe 9months ago.
I think they had a lot of unhappy customers so they are trying to
keep all happy, I think I was told they may go back to the original
recipe but that was back when I read the post on Holisticat.
