---------------------------

**"New" Dakota Bison

Odd for the addition of "chicken fat" to Ocean Blue, and Dakota Bison. Also the use of "potato product" (new) vs "potatoes" (old) and "egg product" vs "eggs."

Also, beware of the addition of "egg product" to the Dakota Bison formula (which it did not originally have) if you have a dog allergic to eggs!

They've also replaced the selenium proteinate in the lamb and apple formula to sodium selenite which is toxic. That tears it! We're switching to Honest Kitchen or something. No way we're paying all that money for inferior products!

TWO we loved you because your ingredients were so good. Now your just another shiester!

So, when exactly is this change occuring so I can start to stock up now?

I must say that right now I'm totally and completely, thoroughly dissapointed.

Blast it all! Just when we find a good one...

I'm just stunned. Somebody may need to pick my jaw up off the floor. Zeus just can't do chicken...

Apparently it is effective immediately. Some people have bags w/ new ingredients, some people have bags w/ old ingredients *sigh*

I have 3 of the 33# bags of the Ocean Blue right now, and all of them are the old ingredients.

I'm not telling where I bought them from though, because I'm going to go buy 3 more bags immediately...

Buah ha ha!
