| Petsmart is also going to start carrying Innova sometime in May, not sure which varieties though. |

| I am a bit concerned about Natura products now, enough so that I have stopped feeding or recommending them. However, I think it is a good thing that Petsmart and Petco have started carrying higher end foods, making them more accessible to the general public will hopefully go a long way towards more dogs eating better food.

| It makes sense, because they were bought out by P&G, and Petco carries the other P&G brands like Iams and Eukanuba. However, people have started questioning how good Innova would be once they were acquired by P&G. Hopefully P&G will maintain the standards of the original manufacturer. The boutique store where I purchase my dog's food stopped giving Innova/Evo shelf space after the P&G acquisition, and I understand that wasn't an uncommon thing, so P&G needs to find some shelf space somewhere. I have personally dealt with P&G purchasing in another consumer area, and let me tell you they are ruthless. Fair and intellectually sharp, but ruthless. Nobody is as good at getting suppliers to cut costs on raw materials. As long as they maintain the premium quality and don't cut corners to get the costs down, Innova will remain a good food. We'll have to see the direction they take.

| I think it P&G bought Natura to broaden it's healthy dog food market. They really did not have a food anything like the Natura foods. The company (Natura and P&G) says nothing will be changed except for the usual updates and improvements. It would make no sense for P&G to lessen the quality of Natura products. They already have those lines covered. I would still feed Innova to my dogs right now. At the first hint of lessening quality I would change. Wellness is in the big stores now and people still feed it.
