Science Diet Shrinkage at Petco
Food shrinkage has hit Science Diet as this picture clearly shows, the old packaging use to be 17.5 pounds. The current item on the stock shelf is for 12 pounds! Thats a 5.5 pound food shrinkage. The consumer contacted the manufactor and they had this to say.
Hill’s® is a significant purchaser of quality ingredients used in the production of our pet foods. In the last several months, the cost of these ingredients has substantially increased. We are passing along a portion of these increases in the form of a product price increase.
Hill’s® has always maintained the highest quality pet food and manufacturing processes, and will continue to do so. This quality is reflected in the superior nutritional benefits we provide pets, at cost of just pennies more per day than grocery brands.
We can certainly understand your concern, as we have personally been impacted by rising costs of essential items like gas or food. However, Hill’s® is unwilling to compromise our high quality standards by using less costly, lower quality ingredients or manufacturing methods.
