Now, I'm not feeding this, especially with all their conflicting information lately, but I was checking out the formulas on their site. I noticed on most of their formulas the vegetable or other source is usually before the meat source. Is that bad, or does it really not matter?
For example, the Pea and Venison dry cat food forumula starts with peas as the first ingredient. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want my cat eating mostly peas.

Maybe that has to do with combining that with the canned food (which starts with meat) with it?

It's probably not a big deal, just something I noticed; usually foods (such as Innova or Canidae) start with a meat source.
