[nagdu] may be changing dog food

[Shanna Stichler]

Personally, I'm of the opinion that if your dog is doing well on her 
current food, it's not ideal to switch. Someone mentioned Petflow.com as 
a source for dog food. They carry Natural Balance, and they have very 
reasonable, often free, shipping of you set up an autoship program with 
them. I use them for my dog's food, and they've always been great to 
work with. Finding out about that site made my life tons easier because 
I didn't have to deal with picking up the food myself. I hope this helps.
