I had a 30% off coupon and save $2.19 at checkout offer on the 20-oz original mix. My final price was $1.64 + tax. I didn't do the Subscribe & Save option.

It sort of is, but the reason is because changing foods constantly is actually really hard on a cat or dog's digestion. You have to transition them gradually from 100% of one to 100% of the other, and shelters just aren't going to be able to do that. Not doing so means nasty messes to clean up.
That "changing food abruptly" is 100% pet food company spin to dissuade [their] customers from switching brands. Think about it.

I don't trust vets either. Most vet schools and associations are heavily funded by the pet food industry. It's like Big Pharma funding the AMA (which they do).

Turns out that the American Association of Veterinarians and their affiliated groups have been HEAVILY funded by big pet food corporations such as Nestle Purina and Hills Science Diet.

I remember many years ago whenever I would walk into a vet's office there would be a wall covered in Hill's pet food. That Science Diet food was overpriced crap filled with unnatural ingredients. In hindsight we all know this and no one buys it anymore. The vets push what their paid to push. Turns out that claim that "changing diets" for dogs will "upset their GI tract" was an industry talking that was slipped into the veterinary mainstream and the lie was propagated to consumers. It's a devious way for an established company to protect it's product sales from new competition.

While I agree with you about the Hills pet food and propaganda etc, it is totally true that you need to transition food slowly over a few days. It's no big deal to do at home. You just gradually give them more of the new food and less of the old. But doing that on a large scale at a pet shelter, or switching back and forth constantly between random small bags of food would not be practical. As a pet owner I have definitely tried different brands due to sales, price increases and etc, and if we don't do a gradual transition over a few days, there WILL be messes. Doesn't make us brand loyal, by any means.

I still doubt that switching brands would cause GI distress. If you switch from one Chicken based wet or dry food to another the ingredients should not be all that different. Pet food is a commodity. Chicken is chicken. Beef is beef. Salmon is salmon. If the switch is from one type of protein to another then a transition might be in order.

Regarding these dry treats like Mother Hubbard, they are pretty bland. The base ingredients of most biscuit treats is largely the same between brands. They're mostly grain based. Natural flavor is added to add a particular taste. I've never seen an issue with my dogs when buying new biscuit treats from different brands.

The switch isn't an issue due to the vitamins or the protein sources, but from the carb base. One dry food is heavy on the rice base, one is heavy on oatmeal or whatever. So it is basically completely switching the bulk of their food from one type to another. Maybe it isn't as bad for dogs since they are omnivores, but cats being carnivores I sure notice it.
As for treats yeah I can't see how that could be a problem since it's not a meal anyway, but the local shelter is super fussy so if I give them anything it's old blankets or just plain money.

I see your point regarding food. Although, during the past couple of years, since the pandemic, when there was often product shortages for our dogs' regular food we had to buy alternative brands or whatever could be found in the stores. We didn't notice any gastric distress nor did we gradually taper out the old food.
