[NAGDU] economical dog food

[Julie Johnson]

Thanks to everyone!  I am going to look more closely at the Purina One 
and Pro Plan, Diamond Naturals and the Rachael Ray.    We looked at Pets 
Mart yesterday, just so she could get an idea of what is available.  
I've been ordering dog food for so long, I lost touch with what is 
available in the store and how much it costs.  We didn't look at every 
bag of food there, but there wasn't anything she could afford long term. 
$70 for a 20 pound bag of dog food  is kind of steep IMO.

I get that you get what you pay for and feeding a quality food prevents 
serious medical problems, but perhaps the dog food industry has gone a 
little nutters.  You could easily spend more money on dog food than you 
spend for food for yourself.   I can't in good conscience recommend Old 
Roy to her, but neither can I suggest something that will mean she's 
eating Ramen noodles breakfast lunch and supper.

I'll see what I can find, give her the information and she can go from 
there.   Thanks to everyone for the ideas!
