So, I drive to PetSmart, and naturally they’re out of stock as well (both 13lb & 2.5lb. They do have a 13lb bag in stock but at a different location, which is a +60 mile drive). Ok, so I look at Chewy, they’re out of stock (both 13lb $ 2.5lb). Petco, only carrying 2.5lb (13lb out of stock). Try calling local veterinarians to see if they carry the product; no one has it.

Is Royal Canin food good for puppies?
We have a 6mo old puppy and have been using Royal Canin since the day we got her. The food has been nothing but great for our little girl.

Well when I checked, the 13lb bag was out of stock (they did have a 2.5lb bag but with shipping costs it would’ve been cheaper to make the 5 minute drive to our local PetSmart).

Read the labels and understand what you’re feeding your furry friend.

thing is, those brands aren't necessarily better for your pet's health especially if the pet has a condition that needs to be on prescription diet in the first place. Yes the ingredients have less grains, higher protein content or closer to their "natural" diet..but how does that equate to health outcomes? they're just playing on human emotions, your pets are not human..much like the opposition to GMO's for example, is just emotions.
