  They have certainly changed the cat food, it used to be real meat and now its made with meal.
  
  My 2 cats turned their noses up at the new stuff.
  
  Changed them to Symply, I think they do dog food as well. Its apparantley very similar to what JW was before it changed.

  James Wellbeloved have indeed been bought out. I am not sure when it happened. They are now owned/controlled by Crown Pet Foods - a wholly owned subsidiary company of Mars/Pedigree Pet Foods. They also own Royal Canin too. The quality of their products does seem to have declined sadly.

  We feed our dog James Wellbeloved sachets on advice of our vet and haven't noticed any changes yet in packaging or contents.
  
  Really hope it doesn't deteriorate as it suits our little dog very well and she gobbles it up.
  
  Hopefully, if Royal Canin are involved, it should be okay.
  That's another brand name my vets surgery advocates.
  
  Keeping my fingers crossed.......

  Might be worth asking your vets advice OP if you're worried about the latest quality of James Wellbeloved food. They're usually more than happy to tell it as it is especially if they think pets might suffer. Would probably suggest a good alternative if you ask.
  
  I used to work at a vets and I know there were definitely certain well known brands of cat and dog food that got the thumbs down.
