Bait and switch tactic
Regarding SMALLS cat food, I have a subscription. WITHOUT first informing me and charging an appropriately lowered price, SMALLS recently changed their raw packets with white meat chicken breast to DARK CHICKEN MEAT. They put a postcard in with my order informing me of this change. Respectfully, this "bait and switch" tactic is, I believe, unlawful and certainly inspires zero consumer confidence. They claim they switched because cats liked the dark meat more. Well DUH of COURSE cats like fattier dark meat more. But I want my cat to have chicken breast, so I will be discontinuing my subscription. Logically, the change was more likely made to save them tons of money while still charging consumers the same price.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback! Working closely with our veterinary nutritionists, we combined their knowledge and expertise with valuable feedback from our customers to develop these new recipes to improve the nutrition (dark meat is more nutritionally dense than white meat!) and palatability of all fresh food. We announced that our new recipes were rolling out this summer, though I'm sorry if those notifications were missed. We understand if Smalls isn't the right fit for you, but we'd love to have you back if you decide to give us another try!
