I just heard that Mars just bought Acana and Orijen and will be changing the formulas within the next 6 months to cheaper for cost but that’s not good cause they make Royal Canin, Hills, Pedigree and Iams, and other ‘low end/filler’ dog food

I would definitely avoid Acana for people who are currently feeding it now

Mars = Bayer/Monsanto

I recall Champion was offered 2 billion. Still, theres goes that high quality kibble.

I hate it that are also buying up a lot of veterinary offices and it then becomes corporate run. My old vet left a practice because of that. She said she had no freedom or discretion anymore. We recently took Buster to a 24/7 Emergency Vet (Blue Pearl, one of Mar's) at 7.30 am but was told the vet doesn't get in until 9.30am! So much for 24/7. We drove about another 15 miles to an independent ER and no problems and MUCH cheaper! I guess they make an offer that some people can't refuse!

They’re buying veterinary offices? Wow that’s not good.

Yep -- corporations are buying up all the ERs and the small private vets are having issues hiring/keeping staff because the corporations are paying a wage the small et can't afford. All part of the plan to destroy small business.

We are having same crap up here. They’re are purposely destroying the small businesses. Their plan is on schedule. People better open their eyes. Heard a few Walmart’s n Starbucks in US are going cashless. I’ll be the first to walk out
