Hi All,

It has recently been brought to my attention that the formula of Hills
A/D has been changed and that now PORK LIVER is the first ingredient
and pork is mentioned again as the fifth ingredient. There are also a
large number of changes in the "lesser" ingredients.

Can anyone shed any light on why they have changed the formula? More
important, how will this affect the ferrets, if at all? Is this new
formula better than the old one, and if so, why? A/D is the key
ingredient in my (and many others) Duck Soup.

Thank you in advance for the information!!
