Special Kitty and Sophistacat info needed

I'm helping my cousin with a project for his high school
business/marketing class. He needs to know what company
makes/manufactures the dry Wal-Mart brand cat food (Special Kitty) and
the dry Petsmart brand cat food (Sophistacat). Does anyone know this
information?

He tried calling the local stores but apparently no one speaks English
anymore. He also tried calling their 800 numbers but got nowhere (as in
got put on hold and was given the run around). He thought about just
going to the stores and looking on the bags but with the gas prices so
high, he decided not to.

Does anyone know who manufactures these foods? We got all the info on
the big brands easy by searching Google. We just can't find info on
these two.

Have you tryed looking on the bag ?? That is usually the best place to start.

Both are currently made by Doanes. Unfortunately looking on the bag
won't help since you will find a "Distributed by XXX" instead of
"manufactured by XXX" You should find lots of info on Doanes on the
web as they have had some financial news lately.

Try reading the original post carefully. That is always the best place to
start.
