Another update. We went back to the store where we got the food, and they let us exchange the bag for a fresh bag. We checked all the dates on the shelf, and all the bags are current, except for the exact type (size & flavor). We filed a complaint, the lady listened and took notes and we left.

We were walking in the door 10 minutes later, and the phone was ringing. It was an executive from the Blue Seal company calling to follow up on our complaint. He was very concerned, and took all my information. He asked me if there were any vet bills, and most of all he apologized. He said that there should be no reason for dogfood to be that old, and the manufacturer certainly didn't deliver it recently. He said that he was following up with the store and making sure this got resolved. Meanwhile, he gave me both his home and cell #'s in case we have more problems, and he would like to know about it immediately.

I once again have faith in the company, and will not be changing foods. But just checking dates from now on!!!
