There is a difference in quality in pet foods, and generally, as in
life, you get what you pay for. While debates florish, my cats have
smaller and less stinky poops using Wellness or one of the many
premium brands than Friskees or other crap. My three cats all like Pro
Plan Salmon and Rice; especially the really finicky one (Espy) who is
my favorite, so that's what they get.
They split a 3 oz can in the morning and a 6 oz can in the evening.
Plus I leave out some dry Pro Plan Salmon and Rice (yes, it comes both
wet and dry), and some Royal Canin #26, which Espy ikes.
I can't imagine why anything jumped from 37 to 69 but that is not
normal. Pricing mistake I would think. Small can do have a much higher
unit cost than larger cans though.
