Dog food in bulk?

[yzfspecvr6]

Hello I live in the pacific northwest Tacoma area. I have quite a bit of dogs and I use to buy dog food from this guy for really cheap. He told me once that he buys the dog food he goes in his van picks it up and buys it by the pound and sells it by the pound he also said he sold alot of it to dog pounds and what not. Well I was just wondering if anyone knows of a place like this? The kind of dog food he got was all different kinds of dog food there was not just 1 type. it was also the bags of dog food that got sent to the stores and got damaged in transit and I guess all that dog food that got damaged or holes poked into it got sent to some place and then was sold by the pound can anyone give me any info please? Im sure good karma will come your way thank you!.

First question, do you have any idea what it was that you are feeding your dogs?

I honestly cant imagine anything sold in bulk or torn bags being good quality.
I remember buying hamster food at the pet store in bulk before I knew better, on more then one occasion I found it crawling with bugs.
Theres no way of telling if the food is expired, especially if its exposed to oxygen and other elements, in particular if its a food preserved with natural vit. e or similar since it goes bad fast if not kept in air tight conditions.

How many is "quite a bit of dogs"?? What do you do that you need so many? What kind are they, what size, etc? You cannot feed one food to a bunch of different dogs and get great results. Do you look for discounted expired non labeled food for your family?

How much can you afford to spend on food (per lb) for your dogs? There may be other options that are healthier and not too much more expensive.

I am truely amused to see how many people cant answer a question. They responde with neg comments or questions of there own. How do you answer a question with a question? if you dont know how hard is it to just not say anything at all lol really?

first of all the bags are the bags that get damaged in transit before or after they get to the store they get taped up and shipped back and it all ends at one location and you can buy it by the pound for like 5 dollars for a 35lb bag. The bags are all different kinds cali natural natural choice basically every brand of dog food that gets damaged.

So to answer your question about exp dates any quality brand dog food will have a exp date and your telling me if you went into ur fridge and your sour cream was expire but a week but yet still smelld good your not going to eat it? Lol seems like people are feeding there dogs better then they feed them selves now a days. If i can get a 50 dollar 35lb bags for 5 dollars for 35lbs will take it if all it does is have a small little hole in the bag.

Just for your information also on the do you feed your family non labed expire food like I said the dog food that gets sent to stores gets damaged in transit. If those bags were non labeld and they were expired why wuld they be on the shelf at the store? they are the same batch of dog food just these bags over here got damaged.

Does that answer all your questions guys? now if someone has any information leading to a solution with these please reply if not I really dont see what the point of you wasting your time to comment me on why i would do that or the exp dates are bad or i would never feed my dog that. YOu do what you do and I do what I do thank you and have a nice day.


So here are some pictures of the bags I am talking about Yes I got all those bags for under 10 dollars each. Do not try and bash me because your hmm I dont want to be rude but since some of you guys want to be a jack kob Im gonna say dumb enough to spend your 50 dollars for 1 35lb, and if your that worried about the exp date it expires at the end of 2011 ive never gotten a expired bag because after all they were sent to the store to SELL but they got damaged so they got sent back so why would they be expired or non labeled? man some peole are dumb in this world lol.

Why would they send recalled Nutro to the pet store though? Im sure those issues have been dealt with if Nutro is still sold in pet stores.

I think the point that people are trying to make is: Shouldn't you care more about what goes into your dogs' mouths more than the price of the food?

Do you realize that Nutro brand is a known killer of dogs from their recalls? But you still choose to feed it? To me even if these bags of food were free I wouldn't even THINK of feeding it to my dogs. I know people here are just trying to help you, this is DOG FOOD CHAT.com so we try and educate people on what is best to feed their dogs and what NOT to feed their dogs...like Nutro.

Maybe take a step back and take in what we are saying to you and don't take it as bashing you. Most of us here started out feeding our dogs crap food like Nutro, but have learned from others that it's worth every penny to choose better foods.

Now, I could understand you taking what you can get if you have a shelter or animal rescue organization, because let's face it...rescue dogs need to eat and if the best of the best can't be fed you have to settle on what you can afford. Beggers can't be choosers! So to answer your original question, I personally don't know much about those programs that you used to work with for food.
