"Prior to any changes" - meaning you're getting the old stuff?

"Guarantees" -- ten to one they're sending the guaranteed analysis for the caloric makeup, though the vitamins/minerals may be actual. This is typical of them. "As fed values for the guanantees" is a contradiction in terms.

The main changes are that some of them changed from like "beef broth" or "chicken broth" to just a nondescript "meat broth." The "natural and artificial" flavorings is now the other way around. Instead of something like titanium dioxide color, it's now a nondescript "color added" with sometimes "red three and other color" added in parenthesis. (I really love the "red 3".) And the supplements have changed slightly. I don't consider the supplement changes as non-important as they apparently do.
