I loved chewy, but they won’t deliver to Hawaii.

Its both aluminum and steel cans

And guess where a great deal of our aluminum comes from?

Canada.

It takes a LOT of electricity to convert bauxite into aluminum.

Canada has LOTS of hydro power.

Canada sells a lot of that power to us.

They would like to sell more, but the anti power line folks in ME, VT and NH stopped the latest proposed projects.

A lot of these same folks are for electric cars.

You can purchase online. PetSmart was a tad more expensive but they had the food I needed that Chewy.com didn’t.

We have noticed that too, both in dry food and soft food.

You have to go to many stores to find different brands in quantity. Harris-Tetter, Giant, Safeway, what is left of Shoppers Food, Aldi, Dollar Tree (two kinds of wet food in large cans and some dry smaller bags), Wal-Mart, etc. In the No. Va area.

Three time’s the charm!

Just placed my first order with Chewy: thanks for the heads-up, as I had never heard of them before.

Their 20 pound Purina Indoor is the same price as the 15 pound locally. Also, can no longer find Pounce within 70 miles.

I have been having problems finding cases of wet cat food. Not much of a selection for dry either.

Our Walmart hasn’t had Cheetos cheese puffs for 2 weeks now. There is a lot of empty space where lunch meat is supposed to be.

I was gonna mention that. And, they usually have a lot of it. I personally like the type of tuna they use for that particular one (Skipjack -from the Indian Ocean I think).

I used to only eat the solid white tuna but found that became more or less tasteless for me as well as insanely expensive. This stuff is like 50-80 cents a can depending on when you get it. I know my cat is always sniffing around when I open up a can.

No shortage. Cat food can be ground up mice, dog food can be ground up cat....

Pate? Daisy never touches the stuff. She only likes Friskies Gravy Lovers Turkey in Gravy. Same thing chicken flavored? She does the burying poop maneuver in her dish. Got 3 cases on Chewy and local Petsmart has iit too. Plus Safeway, for more $$. All of our stores have full shelves of pet food, never noticed a shortage..

She also gets Nutro chicken and brown rice crunchies with no GMOs.. Petco has it and so does AMZ. Perhaps Chewy.

So no pet food shortage in our lives.

Tuna has several problems when given too frequently. It has vitamin D toxicity, as it is high in D. Tuna is high in mercury, which is why humans should not eat it more than once or twice a week. It can also cause yellow fat disease, an inflammation of fatty tissue. Cats can also become tuna junkies and refuse other foods. But tuna by itself is deficient in vitamins and other ingredients essential for cat health.

My cat will do a softshoe dance for Fancy Feast Skipjack Tuna, but I only give it to him every other week because of that. He’s finicky, but he’ll deign to eat a few of the chicken selections.

What’s interesting is, he isn’t remotely interested in canned or pouched “people food” tuna.
