Wal-mart has no plans on going back to the old formula. However, if enough people call they will look into it if the Dog people still will buy it. The guy in charge of it had no idea people feed it to there rodents as food. What is needed is proof that red dye is harmful to snakes. So, if you have the proof send it to the address on the bag and post it here so it can get to the correct hands at Wal-mart.

Red dye isn't good for anything...I had two dogs allergic to it. My son and I both get migraines from it. Yummy. Dad's at Sam's Club is still dye free.

What brand at Sam's Club is good? I have a Sam's Club here and I am also a member. Is it cheaper than the ol' Roy at Walmart of better for them. Is it the same size kibble as Ol Roy to work in a rack system?

Thanks Mark

The Dad's at Sams is $12.87 for 55# I have fed other stuff too. I doubt the Dad's would work in a wire since the kibble is quite small. Bone shapes and round bits that are like 1/4 inch.

There is a bit bigger kibble that is a 'members' sort of brand...can't think of the name. It is a bit more expensive but still cheap.

I can get Blue Seal's Krunchies too. For about $15 for 50. So I switch around.
