I was living in New Orleans at the time of Katrina three years ago, and I truly feel for you and everyone else there. I have since moved to California but visit friends in NOLA frequently, and there's something about the city where whenever I visit it always seems like home.
The Petco's here in Los Angeles started stocking Nature's Balance and other refrigerated foods. Not sure if they've started doing that in the South, but seeing as you typically order your dog food, I'm guessing you haven't been inside of a petco for a while (understandably). You might want to just check it out. If that fails, I think all of them should be carrying wellness brand. Some of the canned food didn't work well with my chi's stomach, but she loved the chicken and sweet potatoes canned formula. No grain, which is nice. It didn't smell revolting like many canned food do. My chi's stomach is a bit sensitive and she tolerates it well. Might be an OK temporary solution. Take care of yourself. New Orleans is in my thoughts and prayers. We're not going to let the government slack off like they did with Katrina. This time, if anything happens, things will be MUCH different - for the better.
