|  What do you do of extra food that your pup doesn't eat anymore? I have over 1/2 a container of food that I am no longer feeding Kona. Any ideas what I should do with it? |

| What kind of food? Sissy has become picky and I'm trying anything - so I also have a few bags with very little out of them. I have Merrick Puppy (dry food) and Science Diet Puppy Lamb Meal (dry food).

| It's a horrible kind of food that my vet GAVE me.  (Purina) So I don't want to give it to anyone who cares what they feed their pup. Should I just throw it away? |

| Take it to a humane society or animal shelter...they will take anything they can get usually.

| PETSMART has a great return policy on food, even if the bag is open. Just save your receipts. |

| Shelters in our area only take unopened bags of food. If u r not happy with the food, get rid of it and chalk it up to experience. If u don't think it is good, why would u give it to other pooches?  |

| I sometimes have food left over for various reasons...kibble too big, shaped odd, dog refused to eat, upset the tummy of my girl with sensitive stomach...various reasons other than I just didn't like the food. Many times it was because my picky eaters didn't like the way the food was put into the kibble. We experimented a lot with kibble shapes around here before finding one JoJo would readily accept, which meant a lot of food left over. I buy my food a private shops and have it special ordered, so an exchange isn't possible. Our shelters work on a very limited budget and since I feed high quality food, anything is better than what those dogs generally get, whether JoJo and Biskie rejected it or not. I would like to see all dogs, including shelter dogs, being fed what I feed or what a lot of other members feed, a high quality, by-product free food, but financially that is just not possible. SO, IMHO, any little bit helps. I am sorry your shelters are not accepting of open bags.

| If I have food that my dogs won't eat -- I give it away - to my relatives, friends, or anyone who will take it. My sister's dog will often eat food that my dogs won't. Carol Jean |

| I had some un-opened cans of food - Jaxon just decided he didn't like that kind anymore. I took them to Petsmart and they let me exchange them for a different brand. I didn't even have a receipt!
