Well, to me it seems that they are straight up lying. I emailed them with the same problem a couple months ago and this was our conversation (my first message is all the way down): Alexandra, I was able to find a bag from that batch code. They are thicker than usual, it is a normal batch variation. Your next bag should be smaller. Liz Good afternoon, We have not made any changes to the kibble size since we shrank the size of the Active kibble. What formula are you feeding?

Are you still producing the smaller size kibble and if so, where can I find them? Thank you, A. Scheller Alexandra Scheller, M.S.
