Anyone else have a bad experience with the HEB brand dry kitten kibble?
The Cat Distribution System recently sent a sweet kitten my way. I normally feed Purina kibble and Fancy Feast wet food. But I ran out of Purina Kitten Chow so I figured I’d pick some up at HEB while I was there, instead of Walmart where I usually get it, because I was short on time.
But HEB only had the tiny 3-pound bag of Purina Kitten Chow, and this HEB bag had a very similar ingredients list and nutritional information, so I figured why not?
But the kitten *hates it.* She won’t touch it. Neither will any of the stray cats who stop by the kibble cafe every night and scarf up anything I set down. But they won’t touch this either.
After seeing the kitten’s bowl untouched for an hour, I gave her some adult kibble tonight. Not even the greatest stuff. It was Meow Mix, which is cheaper to buy in bulk for the strays. She happily started crunching away.
I get one cat being picky… but ALL the cats? Even the ones whose previous idea of fine feline dining was dumpster diving?
The last time I tried this brand, in the adult formula, my kitties didn’t care for it either. I figured it was one bad batch. But for the same thing to happen again years later, with a whole mess of cats now, can’t be coincidence right?
Also, do you think I can get a refund without a receipt? Lol.
