I have got a puppy where I am looking at foods heavily right now.
With the merger-acquisition of Innova lines by P&G, the postings and sites are going crazy. Some sites say they are removing Innova from their recommended lists, one site doing that has 3 of their top 10 as Innova lines. And all of this because of a deal that is not even completed.
Yes a large company can screw up a purchased company, but it is not a fact, as some dog food experts are claiming. For self assuming experts to say that Innova products are now not worthy of consideration because something could happen in the future is ignorant.
Innova has a factory that is built, and a market that fills the factory. Innova makes money. P&G can make money just by using their supply-chain and buying power to an already profitable business. In other words the bastard big company can make money just by doing the same thing.
From what I can see about Iams and other P&G acquisitions, is that the foods never developed much more than when they were bought. Which may be the same for Innova. Its called a cash cow in the business world. All they need to do is churn it out.
But it does piss me off to read how Innova products can no longer be recommended.
To say this we must assume:
1. P&G hates animals and will screw with customers by hiding what they are doing.
2. That the ingredient list will be changed.
3. That the ingredients will not be listed accurately.
4. That the guaranteed analysis will be fraudulent.
5. That P&G will screw with a product that has people hyper focused on it.
If changes happen they will be seen and will be reported, but it has not happened.
Am I missing seeing the giant corporate evil destroying a dog food line, with "experts" claiming history predicts the future, and they can see it all. These experts say these changes will happen, and because of their egos, they think they can not be wrong, thus we must all abandon ship.
Do we all pack up an abandon the Innova products, because of theories of demise of quality. Yes I liked it better to have a Merrick and Orijen like owned company and manufacturing, like Innova is now, but does a larger owner NECESSARILY screw that up? As a given?
Seriously won't we see the changes, if they occur.....we can abandon ship then right, or do we just assume that every cruise-liner sailing in cold waters will strike an ice block and sink.
Am I crazy to still be considering feeding Innova Puppy after the merger, with bags with dates made after they are P and G line.
