Help Ordering Dog Food Online Question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I live in a small city in Western Canada where we have no pet supply store, and I am looking for an online site to order Solid Gold "Just a Wee Bit" or Natural Balance Organic. If anyone knows of a Canadian Site please let me know, I have been searching all day.
Thanks

This site is listed on the solid gold site under international distributors. Not sure where you are in BC but maybe this will help

Natural Balance has several places listed for Canada http://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/home/canada.tpl

Thank you, I called the distributor for Solid Gold and left a message!

Just wondering if you have looked at the Eagle Pack Dog Food.

You might also check your local feed and grain store for horses, etc. I have found the top dog foods are sold in these stores and not pet stores.

I looked at Eagle Pack however my Finnigen has a corn allergy and all but the holistic has corn in it. He was eating Natural Balance Organic but after doing more research I wanted to go with Innova, Wellness, or Solid Gold. There's only one store in my provice that carries Innova and it's 4 hours away so that's out of the question. I found a distributor for Solid Gold and that would have been fine, then last night I went to the feed store an hour away and they carry Wellness, he also informed me that my local livestock exchange orders from them once a week so I can order it through their and not have to drive the hour.

It just amazes me how available all the crappy dog foods are, right there on our grocery market shelves, at Wal-Mart, the vet's, even the local convenience store, but to feed anything decent we have to hunt to find them.

Thank you all for answering me so quickly and all the help you provided. I appreciate it, and so does Finnigen!

Yea! Isn't it amazing about the feed and grain stores? Who would have thought. It does confuse me why pet stores would not offer the high end dog food but at least your problems are solved.

I agree! I looked and looked for Chicken Soup dog food, asked everyone I could think of about it, and got that blank stare that usually means they don't have a clue of what you are talking about. I finally went on line (duh, why didn't I think of it sooner!!) and searched.....guess what? The local feed store about 5 or 6 miles from me carries it!

It was funny when I phoned a couple major pet stores and the girl from Petcetera (a major chain up here) told me she had never heard of Wellness, Solid Gold, or Chicken Soup. I had to laugh.
