Ok so maybe it isn't exactly a crisis :D Anyway I ordered my Natures Variety Instinct salmon from petflow and received it a week later (this past Tuesday). As usual I inspected the bag, I found no holes in the bag but I did find that it said ābest if used by May 17, 2011.ā No bueno! So I called petflow, they apologized, I guess they got a new warehouse and are moving product around so looks like I ended up with some old inventory. Then when the rep goes to process a new order to get another bag sent out she seeās they are out of stock of the NVI salmon! They arenāt going to be able to ship me a new bag until the end of next week then judging from all my prior orders Iām not going to receive that bag until a week from then. Not good, I donāt know where to get NVI salmon locally. The feed stores I know that carry Natures Variety Instinct do not carry the salmon formula and as of this morning I fed the pups the last of the food I had left so I had to go out and find an alternative. I was going to get Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Salmon because Samson did real well on it for a couple years but I had to take him off of it because the potatoes in it started causing yeast issues (ear infections actually). BUT after looking around the store I decided to get Taste Of The Wildās salmon formula. Itās rated better than Natural Balance, shockingly itās cheaper and it appears to have less potatoes in it than the Natural Balance. Also, my in-laws have a lab that has skin and allergy issues and she does great on this food so I am hoping Samson does well on it as well, if not I can feed my beagle Loki the rest of it or give it to my in-laws. So anyway, I am REALLY hoping for the best! Heās real sensitive so I never know! While this was a total inconvenience I will still order from petflow in the future, they were really cool about it and after many, many orders this is my first issue so Iām not going to ditch them for this. On a totally unrelated note, I saw a corgi puppy at the feed store when I picked up the TOTW today. OMG cutest, sweetest, little thing ever, I LOVE corgis! Not as much as bullys but they are a breed that I would definitely considering having one day, anyway that just made me so happy that I had to share LOL (oh my I really am dog crazy!).
