[NAGDU] very quick food change

[Cindy Ray]

Had it smelled different when you got it other places? Anyway, I would
recommend ordering from Petco rather than Amazon. They have local stores in
case you can't get it that way, but large amounts of dogfood are easier to
order that way. It was a long time before I took to doing that, but I love
it.

Hi Cindy.
We ordered twice from Amazon.  The first time, I wasn't sure if the food
smelled rancid or not.  This time, it definitely did.  I'd rather support a
local business anyway, if I can, and I'm not so in love with Great Life.
I've been debating making a switch, and this last thing makes it easy.
