For as long as I’ve had my kitten the chicken flavors of wet food by Hills are the only foods she’ll eat so I don’t expect this experience to impact my loyalty as a customer but I thought it was worth sharing 

I just went to go feed my kitten her lunch time snack. I opened the can of wet food like normal and went to go scoop out her serving with a clean spoon. Initially upon opening it I realized that the smell was a little bit stronger and the color was a little bit darker than normal. I am very familiar with this exact food. My kitten is very picky and I see this exact can of food several times every single day, so I was cautious as I began scooping. When I finally put the spoon in to take a scoop out I heard a dry cracking/scraping kind of sound I looked in the can, and the bottom was coated in a dark brown, dried kind of film of (presumably) the gravy that the food comes in. I’m very familiar with this appearance as I clean it off of her dishes every day lol. I decided to toss that can and feed her a new one (new one was normal). Before I threw out the initially opened can, I inspected further. There were more dried bits around the bottom of the can. There were some of those dark gravy dry puddles I guess you could call it and some of the meat cubes (the actual food bits lol) that were dry as well. I am always very cautious when I buy canned foods both for myself and for my cat. I always check them for dents for holes and any markings or imperfections (I am very afraid of botulism😭). The pictures I’ve attached are screenshots from a video I took of the can as I was inspecting it. The parts that are circled are the dried pieces that I described above. Additionally, I’ve included a photo of the actual food type and the expiration date listed on the bottom of the can.

This can was purchased from a PetSmart on February 23 of this year (2 days ago) in the southwestern United States.
