Just to clarify a little more....Canidae costs $28.00/bag if you buy only
one bag at a time, but if you buy 5 you get it for $26.00/bag plus 1 free,
which averages out to $21.66/bag....with Large Breed Puppy being $36.00/bag,
that's a savings of $15.34/bag, for a very high quality, all natural
food...most of the other natural foods are $40-$60/40# bag....I would say
that is a big difference (almost 1/2), but of course I am feeding one pyr,
one border collie, one pug, and 8 aussies, so food cost as well as quality
is a very big deal to me.

I also wanted to say thank you for the Satin Balls recipe, as I show almost
all of my dogs and have a few male aussies who are very hard to keep weight
on.  Their extremely high metabolism combined with running all day and small
appetites, keeps them a little thin for the judges taste...I'm definitely
going to be giving it a try!

Thanks,
Nicola
