We’ve had this thread before but Purina pro plan used to be about $45 for I think the 35 lb bag. It’s now $70

My cat eats a higher priced per pound food than I do.

It's enjoyable buying large volumes of cat and dog food for our foster pets when prices have gone from about $40/ bag to $70/ bag.

Why has everyone else's dog food gone up except mine? You can look it up for yourselves. Diamond Naturals Large Breed has been from 42 to 45 dollars since I started buying it in 2014. Are they exempt?

Based on what website? I can show proof from my Amazon account if you’re disputing the price increases

I shake my head every time I buy dog food for the bulldog. $40 or so for a small bag of dog food. I remember when you could get a 50 pound bag of Ol'Roy at Walmart for $8.00.

I had to quit ordering from Amazon as their suppliers increased (almost doubled) the price. It still fluctuates for online ordering through Amazon. Retail at Tractor Supply and Feed and Seed is still the same, which is how I now buy it.

If you get rid of the dog, your expenses go to $0

It's gotten ridiculous. A bag of 30 lb dog food was costing me around $52 or so. Now in the low 70's. Bastards.

June 2021 the cost was $28.48 for the chicken and rice food at Sam’s. I just bought another bag for $41.98. Just under 50% price increase

So is mine but both damn cats like it and it’s impossible to keep the other fricker away from the gold and platinum food. 100 bucks Royal canin prescription arse food.

It’s definitely nuts! We have a couple of medium sized dogs and their food has more than doubled in the past year.

My bag for my two dogs went from 25 to 23 pounds and increased by $10. I went to a different brand out of spite

Because you’re a progressive dumbass that has to lie to cover up the stupidity of your belief system.
