Dog food in bulk?

[wags]

There's not going to be any more arguing.

Thats got me laughing! With a hubby and 5 kids argueing is second nature around my home about everything from politics to what to cook haha! I guess thats why I like the cheery stuff on this sight!

Okay since your looking for an answer I will give it to you. Try going to pet stores and offer to buy their ripped bags before they ship them back as it will cost them money. Most here will donate to shelters. Personally when it comes to my dogs I want the best for them, not some cheap on sale ripped bags. I have been known to scour raw meat bins and get things dirt cheap because they are expired tho. Now, im not arguing with you. I have learned something in life after growing up with people who make their animal live outside or people who feed poison in a bag, is I dont care anymore what anyone does with their dogs. At least yours are being fed...even if its cheap food that will eventually kill them. Their are tons of dogs out their in this world who are lucky to get fed once a week.

Drops 2 cents into the jar

Most pet foods of the holistic market are sold through small independent distributors. These distributors are scattered across the U.S servicing the same retailers you buy your foods from. As a consumer you will not be given any information as to the location or contact info required to find these torn bags sitting in a warehouse BUT.
The loop......If you contact your "Independent retailer" and ask them where they purchase your food from they are required to disclose this information. If you happen to find that one of these distributors is local. Many of them will be willing to work with you in bulk. They have many damaged goods that they may sell to you at a reduced price. The reason they will sell you these bags is because they are only worth the price they paid and the red tape associated with recieveing credit from the petfood manufacturer is such a berdon, selling to you becomes a good option.
Good luck with the investigative ventures :)

Walter, I'm glad you could answer this question for all of us, as I don't think any of us knew. Hopefully the OP will be back to read your response.
