Not surprising in the least. I was part of an Amazon product review program, but I stopped participating after seeing multiple posts for pet treats that contained ingredients that are harmful to dogs. Reporting the listings was a nightmare, and they were never taken down.
Fuck you, Amazon.
Not sure if I want to blame Amazon or just pet food companies.
I had two cats. My first cat died around 4 years. The vet tried her best. The second cat was hitting the same symptoms and went on a special vet diet and still lives.
I got two new cats later. Decide to feed them supermarket pet food. Same symptoms as the prior cats around the same age.
I now feed them expensive cat foods that's 3x the cost. They have been happy and healthy.
I know not everyone can afford it. But I highly suspect that modern cheap catfood is full of bad shit.
I used to work at a vet clinic. Almost all the cats with new urinary blockages ate fancy feast, cat chow, or some similar Wal-Mart brand.
I would feel bad even feeding feral cats that crap.
