Thanks guys. Unfortunately I have no idea witch one he came from. I guess that explains why I could not figure it out. He is gorgeous and very sweet/docile especially around my 2yr old surprisingly... Bummer about the comb, but now I know..thanks all
I would call Purina and let them know. They might reimburse you. TSC might possibly do something as well... Its likely it's not a bad batch just that when the bag was processed and when milled it was likely the "bottom" stuff that got put into this bag making everything more crushed... I...
