[nagdu] dog food take #173

[Lea williams]

I know that the acana sounds like it cost to much but I use to feed my
cats Iams before that and to be honest, the Iams was more than the
Acana.
Like I said in an earlier email. I can get a 15 pound bag and it will
last 2 and half months costing me $43.

Iams I can get 15 Pounds costing me about $25 and it will only last me a month.

So for 2 and half months of Iams I am spending $75 but Acana I am spending $43.

I had to feed my cats 2 cups totle a day of Iams but, about 3/4 cups a
day totle with the acana.

I know this is about cats but I haven't gotten my dog yet but
nevertheless, it will still be the same just in a larger amount.
