Yesterday I went to Petsmart to pick up some cat and dog food for my pets. I looked all around the cat food aisle for my favorite cat food and was really having a hard time finding it. I know exactly where it should be kept. Its the low magnesium blue and white bag. Finally, there it was, with a whole new look. The packaging is quite attractive now, but the price seemed to be even higher then before. Oh well, I need it, so I bought it and took it home.
Once I got home, I started pouring it into the container that I always store it in, and it just didn’t seem right. There wasn’t enough there. Strange. It usually fills up the container, plus more. This prompted me to look at the bag, and there it was, in the corner, 16.8 lbs. So, that was why the new design. It certainly throws off looking for the weight, which was always 18lbs before. Not only is there less in the bag, but the price was higher. Needless to say, I am quite a bit disturbed at Friskies for taking advantage of the public this way. Again, a large company that deceives the public. Ya, I know, its there in plain sight, but, I’m not in the habit of checking the poundage of something that I’ve been buying for years and years, but I will be now. So, buyer beware, this is probably the first of many pet foods that will be doing the same thing.

Yep. AND there is ONLY one store in our town that carries the ONLY cat food our furry feline will eat. I noticed the marketing change and the price increase but did not notice the amount because I bought The ONLY size bag they had and it was not the size I am familiar with.
I think the bigger the company the farther they are from the realities of everyday people. A lot like politicians!
