Confirmed. The Apocalypse is coming. I saw a decent food at WalMart.

[kevin bradley]

Ok, so I spot this food I've not seen ever. EVOLVE is the brand. I know, its not great. And granted, its a CAT food and I couldn't find the Dog food but it has a nearly identical ingredient list. But its a decent food at least and hopefully it introduces some better food to the general public. What we demand is beginning to take hold. Seriously.

(my guess is that the Dog food will be available at some point)

i wonder where the ingredients come from. So much of Wal-Mart food is sourced in China to save costs,.

Companies who get to put their products on the shelves at Wal-Mart almsot always have to reduce the quality to meet the price.

o yeah, I don't doubt this food has some serious question marks, X. But its a step. Albeit a small one.

NOTE-while I was looking thru the petfood section, I saw at least 3 people load up monster bags of Old Roy into their carts. Disheartening.

[Caty M]

Did they load them up into their Mercedes? I see that pretty often.

There are a couple of brands similar to that at our Walmart, too. Never seen anyone buy them though, LOL.

yes, it's hard not to say anything to those people. I think they often just don't know about the food because i didn't know about the food for so long.

But, like when strangers make comments about my dogs I know most people would resent it if I walked up to them and told them they were feeding their dogs horrible food.

[kevin bradley]

think Wal Mart would care if I put a sign up near the old Roy that said... ATTN: THIS FOOD SUCKS. ???

[sganow]

My mother-in-law gave my wife a big bag of Ol' Roy dog biscuits. She told her she didn't want them but her mom insisted she take them. My wife brought them home and threw them in our dumpster (trash bin). She complains about me spending too much on dog food, but even she agrees that Ol' Roy is crap!

Evolve has been around for quite awhile. It's made by Triumph. They say they've been making it for 60 years. I'm not surprised it is starting to appear at Walmart because it sells for a little over $1.20 a can on the website which is a pretty low price point.

"The Evolve line of cat and dog foods include dry and canned foods made from holistic type ingredients including real lamb and chicken, brown rice, beets, spinach and tomatoes. These ingredients, combined with state-of-the-art packaging make Evolve the food of choice for those looking for a holistic pet food. "

PetFoodDirect has carried it for a long time. Here is an example of the canned chicken dog version:

Chicken, Chicken Broth, Chicken Liver, Lamb, Brown Rice, Rice Flour, Carrots, Ocean Fish, Oat Bran, Egg Product, Cottage Cheese, Peas, Guar Gum, Potassium Chloride, Carrageenan, Minerals (Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Cobalt Amino Acid Chelate, Copper Amino Acid Chelate, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate, Sodium Selenite, Potassium Iodide), Brewers Dried Yeast, Salt, Chicory Extract, Choline Chloride, Vitamins (Vitamin E, A, D3, B12 Supplements, Thiamine Mononitrate, Biotin, Riboflavin Supplement) Sodium Tripolyphosphate

It is priced decently? I might try this for my kitten. I just got her a bag of Taste of the Wild. I would like to rotate her food too.

[kevin bradley]

Wolf, I honestly don't recall the price. My guess is that its pretty reasonable if its at Wal Mart.
