I get Hill's Science Diet. It's price is up about 10% since last month.
I haven't price checked other brands. Of the pet food you get, have you seen a price increase as well?

Hoarding and fewer people will accuse price gouging on a non essential like pet food.

I cook my dogs food but I have noticed chicken hasn’t been on sale anywhere the last 2 weeks

I’m sure that doesn’t answer your question tho

Please feed a better food. Or at least a cheaper one.

Science diet is crap.

Unless you get into prescription foods, they do make some good ones for dietary restrictions.

Why doesn't the grocery store have their regular meat sales?

The Chinese have been hoarding/buying up all the bats that are usually ground up into dog food because they’re scared bats will be banned as unsafe for human consumption. True story.

I have noticed dog food at stores is down...a lot of popular choices are hardly available, not to the point of hoarding, but makes you wonder if people start making a run on dog food, will they increase prices??
