First of all yes an approaching season can cause a change in temperament.

Wafcol has been about for a long time and I've used it in the past. Now I'd go with Burns or JWB for dry food and NatureDiet or Nature's Menu for wet.

I would have thought you would have seen a reaction before now if it was the change in food causing the problem

I personally would not use Wafcol, some of the varieities contain mostly wheat........

Yeah they can get snappy but then so can i lol When changing any food you should do it over a 7-10 day period by mixing both the food together at varying strengths of old to new food till its only just the new food
