Say what you will, but my six outside dogs eat Purina or whatever the Tractor Supply brand is (Frontier, I think) and they’re all in good health. Yeah, they shite big piles but they’re all large breeds and crap big anyway. I can understand feeding one dog or a dog with health issues a premium diet. But it’s cost prohibitive to do so with multiple animals.

Not worth the extra shite it produces from all the fillers.

When I got Louis XIV, he went through a big bag of pedigree every month. Switched to Natural Balance sweet potato and fish, he went through the big bag every three months. Once he got full, he stayed, full.

I have a 65 pound female Belgian Malinois. I feed her 3/4 cup of Castor & Pollux cereal and a half cup of fried up ground chuck with the fat reduction poured back over it (dogs need 18-20% fat in their diet) twice a day.

Costs right at $65/week, so, like a dollar per pound of the dog each week lol. Spoiled little frickers ....

i'm not trying to say it hasn't gone up significantly, I know it has, but i remember buying that food for some time before Covid, and i don't ever recall paying under $50-55 for it, but i was getting it at PetSmart not Amazon.

you're buying overpriced dog food from a company that knows it can price gouge people like you.

I buy the 40lb Kirkland lamb based dog food and it's stayed the same price ($39-42) over that same time period.

I noticed this yesterday. Science Diet was $49-$55 for a 30lb bag 6 months ago. Yesterday it was $77. It’s fricking insane.

Our dogs are 130, 105, and 8 lbs. They eat Gentle Giant. It was $35 for 35#'s. It has changed to $45 for 30#'. My wife found a coupon that got it to $30 for 30 and we bought 4 bags.

I dont consider myself a bad dog owner for feeding my lab/retriever mix the Retriever brand from Tractor Supply for the past 13 years. it's $17.99 to $20.99 for 50-55lbs bag. Mini chunk green bag, or the blue hi protein Adult bag...

Hill's was colgate-palmolive's best performing subsidiary last year and accounted for 20% of their sales.

quote:

Fourth-quarter net sales for Hill’s Pet Nutrition totaled $885 million, up 12.2% year-over-year. Full-year net sales for the pet food segment came to $3.3 billion, up 14.8% from $2.9 billion in fiscal 2020. The science-based pet food business currently makes up roughly 20% of Colgate-Palmolive’s total sales.


and yet they still find a way to blame supply chain/inflation after a record year while simultaneously saying they increased prices and saved on costs...

quote:

Colgate-Palmolive attributed Hill’s fourth-quarter success to organic sales growth seen in the United States and European markets. Operating profit for this segment also improved in the fourth quarter, up 17.5% year-over-year to $241 million, attributable to higher pricing, cost savings, a decreased investment in advertising, and reduced overhead expenses, the company stated.

These gains were partially offset by “significantly higher raw and packaging material costs” as well as notably higher logistics costs in the fourth quarter, which reflect supply chain challenges seen across the industry.


conglomerates own everything and are raising prices because they can, then hide behind the inflation boogieman

I can't imagine having a large dog that goes through a ton of food.


One sad consequence of this whole thing will be the influx of pets into shelters when their owners can’t afford to feed them anymore.

Any reputable vet will steer you away from Blue Buffalo. It used to be good and now is crap.

My dog had severe food allergies. Had him on Wellness or Natural Balance formulas for years, usually Chicken or fish and sweet potato. Wrong food meant he scratched alot and eyes ran.

Tried BB. fish and potato. SHould've been fine. Allergies cranked right back up as he scratched his head off. TOok him off it, put him back on his regular stuff and within a few days, the allergies disappeared.

A year later, BB got busted for its bogus labeling.

Lesson learned: Biochemistry never lies.
