We've bought this before, but we've noticed that the smell and how attractive it is to our cats has really gone down. We're wondering if the ingredients have completely changed. It used to have a "bad" fishy smell, but that's not the case anymore. It doesn't really smell like fish at all now. Our 5 cats (used to be 8) aren't as interested in it as they were before. It's a pity, maybe we should just stop buying this (more expensive) brand.
Comparison between old and new formula, surprises!
Take the old and new ingredient lists and run them through ChatGPT. You’ll be surprised…
62% herring in the old one / 56% in the new one
Fish oil: 9% in the old / 4% in the new
Hydrolysates: 1.5% animal in the old / 5% in the new.
Peas, peas, peas in every form in the new one…
Chondroitin, glucosamine, egg, psyllium, prebiotic, taurine (!!!) and L-carnitine have completely disappeared from the list.
The packaging sizes are changing and so is the quality, apparently... My Sacred Birman, who used to eat only Purizon Fish kibble, is starting to fuss over them or even turn his nose up at them, and the 400g bags that used to seal tightly have disappeared. Such a shame.
