Have been to Wal-Mart, Foodcity, and IGA and they only have a small supply of Purina. What is going on? Been To Pikeville, Williamson, and Logan, other places and can't find a 40-50 lbs bags. They only have 4, 8, and 17.6lbs. Is anyone else running into this problem?

Yep so I switched to Black gold.

Purina has quit making Hi-Pro Dog Food only Dog Chow and the High dollar Pro Plan Feed.

I have called all over the place looking for puppy chow, due to haveing ten akc lab pups, and all they have are the 4-8 lbs bags.

I heard Purina was raising prices so Wal-Mart stopped buying it. I don't know about the other places that sell it.

Purina makes Exceed for Sams club. They are gonna stop selling it. All I could get out of them is, there is a problem with the supplier??? Chris

i heard they shut down their louisville plant.

yea chris, i got some the other day guy sd was his last pallett of it, hvent decided on what to go to now!!

John, the guy at Sams told me that they got a company called Droans or Drones or something like that will start making it for them with the same ingredients. Will keep you posted on what I find out. Chris

thanks walt and chris .. im lookng for something before all of the exceed is gone !!

Was in two different Wal-Marts yesterday and neither one had the large bags of Dog Chow.An employee told me that Purina was trying to raise the price and put it in a smaller bag and Wal-Mart wouldn't go for that deal.The guy told me they had been in negotiations with Purina and had gotten a deal worked out and it would be back on the shelf in a couple of days.
I've fed Purina for 40 years and have always liked it but they better be carefull and not try and screw folks by jacking the price and shrinking the size [going from the 50 lb. to 44 lb and costing more ]. there are too many other brands on the market and i might have to try one of them.

i have used JOY puppy chow n pups did good on it baught it at chiltons mkt

I went to Petsmart and they still had all the purina products except hi-pro which they quit making it.The largest Pro plan bags they had were 35 and 37 lbs at nearly $30 a bag.

made the switch to blackgold
