Yes, Cathy, you are right. Costco is in Seattle...have been feeding Kirkland 14+ years, after a Purina change. had better coats/stools etc. w/ Kirlkand over Purina and never looked back. No issues w/ Kirkland. I'll call Monday to make sure the chicken & rice is OK. I figure I have 3+ weeks worth of food here, again, no issues. (I don't feed the lamb though).

And Kathy, Seattle is the where Costco distributes the food, not where it is manufactured. I do not feed raw, as we cook for the dogs besides the kibble, but enough is enough of Diamond having problems. I love Orejen, but it is expensive to feed 9 big guys, but a very good food.
