    seems like good stuff for $2 a 13oz can, but it does have rice on the ingredients somewhere. I picked up 6 cans of the chicken formula but I can return it if it's no good. i can't find as fed values anywhere so maybe someone knows.

    Not familiar to me (central US).

    You may need to write to the manufacturer and request the "As Fed" values or the "Dry Matter Basis".

    Oh yeah it's only sold in Canada and Australia I think, I have emailed Hagen asking for the info but thought someone else might know if it's any good. I know a lot of it is marketing hype but it is pretty cheap, and if it's better than Friskies, Whiskas, and Sophistacat, I can continue to buy it.

    A++ response from Hagen:

    Lol!!! Scooter doesn't seem to like it much past the first few tries, so it looks like I'll be returning it anyways. I got a case of Wellness for now. Damn that stuff is expensive.

    I made use of your wording. I just emailed FancyFeast and FussyCat (VIP Petfoods) to find out what their carb content is. I used your wording. Hope that's okay. It made it just easy enough for me to get off my backside and do it.

    No problem, just make sure you tell them you need to know the % of calories from carbs, as that's the number we need, not just the overall % of carbs. I think that's where the Hagen rep got lost, looks like they just took the guaranteed analysis and assumed the leftovers were carbs. Which is really inaccurate lol

    Well this doesn't matter any more anyways, Scooter decided the food is not good and he sniffed and rejected the bowl I gave him last night and today. So he got Friskies instead and gobbled that right up. I will be returning the remaining cans and letting the service rep know that Scooter doesn't like it.
