    I bought my 1st dog just before the pandemic. The bag for 38lbs of food was around 80$. The price have been rising a little every time I would buy one.

    Before this summer the bag was 120$. I told myself that I’m going to look for alternative. Meanwhile I don’t. So I go to the pet store to get a new bag of food. The price tag was the same (120$) but the size got reduced from 38lbs to around 31lbs.

    I got upset and I ask WTF is going with that brand (good brand of food made in Canada with Canadian ingredients) and she told me that it got bought. So the new owners are pressing the lemon as much as they can.

    Seriously it’s pure fucking greed.Fuck them. Now I buy cheap Cosco food that seems to fine with dog. It upset me I just feel every thing I like get ruined by greed.

      If it’s the Kirkland dog food, I think that’s actually really good dog food. So, no worries there.

        Yeah it is Kirkland! That’s what I though but my brother was giving me so much shit at first. Just brothers things I guess.

          Kirkland is the one I feed my dog. All his life and he’s a healthy 11 year old great Pyrenees with a good appetite. Their cases of canned food used to be $29.99 and it was great. Bags of kibble went up as well but not quite as much, but I didn’t pay that much attention to the weight when I first bought it.
