[nagdu] may be changing dog food

[minh ha]

The first five ingredients listed on the natural balance lamb meal and
brown rice bag are: Lamb Meal, Brown Rice, Ground White Rice, Rice
Bran, Canola Oil. This is what I've been feeding Viva too and she's
doing great on it. I agree that it's a pain to get because you can
only get it from Petco, but since she likes it so much, I don't really
see the need to switch. You could always order the food directly from
the Petco website and get it delivered, or there's chewy.com that does
the same thing and their prices are a lot cheaper. I'm going to have
to order online once I'm back in school and it's just easier than
carrying big bags of food from the store.

but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
