Default Where do you buy your dog food?

I didn't want to lug a bunch of dog food down with us in the car, so will have to buy a bag before the end of the month. My dogs eat Wellness Core Small Breed, which I get at home at a local pet store. What is available in this area for high quality pet foods?

Thanks!

We get all our food at Whole Earth Pet Supply. Great local business.

We get our pet food from Amazon Subscribe & Save. High quality, natural pet foods are about half off what you would pay at local stores plus free shipping and very convenient. Amazon does carry Wellness Core.

I use wags.com or chewy.com or the place on 101 across from Crispers--has the word "Paws" in its name. Also, I believe Petco on 441 carries Wellness.

If you are staying in the Western area of The Villages ...

"Paws for a Moment" offers high quality pet foods.
We buy our Orijen dog food there.
If you take CR 466 and go north on CR 101, Paws is located in Palm Ridge Plaza.
Across the road from Southern Trace Plaza/Publix.
In the area of the Charter School, Bonefish Grill and a big CVS Store on the corner.
If you want better driving instructions, please PM me.

Doggiefood.com- good prices and service. The food we use is hard to get- Party Animal from California. It is grain free and organic.

Just as an FYI we do have Petco and Petsmart and they do sell Wellnes for small dogs off 441. But as stated by others there are other places that sell better food.

I feed my dog wellness, too. I can get it shipped from Amazon cheaper (as long as I qualify for the free shipping) and it's delivered to my door. In fact, I ordered it on Oct. 2 and it was delivered yesterday, a Sunday. Tax is now being charged I guess because Amazon has a place in Florida now.

I love the mail order places. Because we have a big dog, it is nice not to have to lug 30 lbs of dog food from the store to the car and lift it out of the trunk. I can kick it into the house from the front porch!

Wags.com and chewy.com carry many of the high-end foods made and sourced in America and Canada and similar first-world countries. We mix Wellness light with Nature's Logic to keep the weight under control. Both are high protein, no common allergy products. Petco carries Wellness and many other good ones if you don't want to mail order.

Default Recall Notices

Two good sites for all dog owners. Our Sheltie Peaches was victimized by Iams and Eukanuba a few years back..Didn't even know about it until the damage was done.

I am so sorry, KeepingItReal. We fed our first golden Iams thinking it was top stuff. I've done a lot of reading since then.

We buy Fromm pet food, a small batch, grain free,family owned company, at Paws for a Moment. I checked at several online pet food sites and can get a 30lb bag for about $7-$10 less but we would rather give the extra money to the small business because of the great service and advice we get.
