[Felvtalk] The Price of Cat Food

2012-10-15 Thread Lee Evans
Costco's Kirkland is excellent.  Unfortunately, it just went up in price a dollar and fifty cents more to $18.99.  It was about $17.59 a couple of weeks ago but it's still the best deal around for 25 pounds of good quality cat food.  I began feeding it again to my inside rescues because they

That was Diamond brand cat food, from a manufacturer on the East Coast - I think in Georgia.  Kirkland purple bag cat food made for Costco was not involved.  The Diamond cat food that was involved had salmonella.   Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors

I don't think I ever saw the yellow bag that Susan Hoffman mentioned.  They have a light blue bag of Reduced Calorie food (diet food) but I don't use that on skinny cats and the fat cats would probably eat the fatty food while the skinny ones would most likely head for the diet food.

Orange bag, not yellow.  The product name is nature's domain but I think it's a Kirkland product.   I should look into the tax exempt thing.  Would be good to get out from under sales tax.  That would actually help a lot.  If not for the cats I would not bother with Costco.  We buy our own

Every time you hear about a recall, it involves a company in Georgia that does foods for almost every brand of cat and dog food. i got hung up in the one with the filler that caused kidney and liver damage. My guys didn't get hurt, but I had to test to be sure they were safe and they were on
