Blink Cat Food

Blink brand has been sold off - and is no longer what you thought it was
I've bought Blink for several years. We moved our cats to 100% meat based diet after researching diet and health when one of our cats had cancer. We've found it difficult to get hold of recently (West Wales), and a local pet shop told me her wholesaler is no longer listing it. An enquiry to Blink today got this reply: "We have now moved to a high class facility in Thailand...As we've grown in demand, we've soon realised that our current facility is too small and isn't meeting the high quality we're proud of... We've done a lot of searching for facilities that can match our standards. Our new manufacturing facility is of highest quality, top specs & makes human food products too! In the pet food world, Thailand is a recognised & credited hub for making cat food - we already know a lot of other cat food brands are made here too. With this change, we are still following the same simple rules of our business - make great tasting recipes that does not compromise on quality... It will return in stores soon with a new look and the added tapioca which has caused the texture to be different however everything else is the same." SO no longer 100% meat, plus food miles plus queries in my mind about welfare of ingredients. AND a search at Companies House indicates the "Blink" business has been sold out to a Venture Capital firm. It baffles me that Venture Capital buyers make changes that destroy the very reason that the original business has been successful and still expect customer loyalty. I am now faced with the task of trying to find an alternative source of food for my cats.
