On their site, they listed a store but that store didn't actually sell it..or they omitted a store and that store had it. They had an updated list when I called and I found one down the block from me.
I buy the Stella & Chewy's online. The patties are light, I buy four bags at a time (one of each flavor), and the shipping is totally reasonable because of their light weight.

PS. Did you notice that Artie's graduated from half a patty mixed into his kibble to a whole patty per meal? Yeah, the kid is robbing me blind.

miu: I can't do rice. Artie's grain-intolerant.

miu & MAK: The thing is, I still want to feed Artie kibble. I like that the crunchies clean his teeth while he's eating.

Just double check to make sure that prime covers the shipping of your dog food before you sign up.

We do a lot of our shopping online for the holidays and it saved us a ton of money in shipping costs.
Hmmm. I'm going to look into that but I *think* that Prime only covers items that are shipped directly from Amazon, not from the resellers, and I *think* that most (all?) the dog food is through resellers. BUT... I'll check. Thanks for the good idea!

I order mine from the same place as you, it's much, much cheaper that way, even with shipping! Only one store here sells them for $24.99, but they are always out. The rest are $29.99, which is crazy! I only crumble like 1/4 of a patty in the food. Shockingly, it does the trick.

And did you see how cute PC used to be? I can't get over at the cute puppy I used to have. I want to go back in time so I can appreciate that cuteness some more and take better pictures!

1/4 of a patty??? WHAT???? Sigh... I've been twisted around someone's paw, big time. And that someone's name rhymes with Fartie.

PC was cute and will always be cute.

Wish I could help.

I won't mention that The Beeze eats whatever I put in front of him no matter the time of day, the amount, etc. He's the least picky eater you'll ever meet! He gets 2/3 cups dry Natural Balance in the morning and 1/3 cup at night. That's it. No mix-ins, no treats, nothing. And his poops are always perfect

I know plenty of shelter dogs that will eat anything as soon as it's placed down. You have no idea what his past life was like. They might have not fed him regularly, which is a shame.

PC knows that if he's picky, he'll get stuff mixed in. He also knows that food is and always has been available, since he was a pup. He will never go hungry, he never experienced hunger. I think that's the main reason he's one way and MB is another. MB must have been on a very irregular feeding schedule since he devours his food within seconds.

Thanks for that info; I wasn't aware of it.

My pup's food is sold on Amazon with free shipping (supposedly received within 5-9 days) included. I ordered two bags right after I posted - It only cost me two dollars more than what I paid for it at the store. Not a bad deal.

How dare you! There will be no chit-chat on one of my threads about anything that varies from the topic at hand! EVER! And ESPECIALLY when it's about PC.

Just kidding, of course, Jerseykat!

LOL I just had to say something about PC cutie-ness (is that a word?).
He looks so soft and squishy I want to take him off the screen!
