Bought a bag of dog food tonight and Pro Plan has raised their rices again by $3 and the bag is down to 34lbs. I am looking for another ood that is cheaper. I have tried Diamond and the dogs didn't do well on hat after a while. I know some of you use Exceed, do you use the chicken or amb or does it matter. What about Iams? I am going to start comparing uality but the rising costs of dog food is ridiculous! Everything is going p but our paychecks.... oyce yJoy Shepherds ome of Sel. Exc. Ch.
