My man said he'd front me the cash to buy whatever obscene number of bags TO makes you buy. I just might become that distributer you've all been craving (the only problem is, where to put it all? ).

Same time, same post (only one is far more sarcastic than the other *coughtechno'scough*) does it count as a double post?

I was talking to my husband about distributorship tonight, too! But I was thinking of going whole hog and figuring out which top quality foods you can't get around here. I'd need a business plan and loan, though. Probably not likely. That, and it's too small here to support another pet supply place, I'm sure.

Its small here too, but if you were to carry the best of the best kinda thing, its like waynes world..." you build it... they will come"

How much would one have to order to buy online? Or can you even do it?

I think it's about an hour? I've been told you can be in Montreal in 45 mins from here, but that would be the outskirts, I'm sure.

Still tossing around the idea-high quality foods, toys, treats...what we have here is Pet Valu and 2 Berry's Pet Foods. Plus Wal-mart. That's kind of a lot of competition for a place with pop 46,000.

I dunno yet. Have to look into that, too. I have a big garage that could potentially work for storage, but it would need some work first. Hmmm.

And judging by the stream of huge bags of Ol' Roy I see leaving Wallyworld, it would be a SLOWWWWW process.

Thats a hilarious mental picture.
It would be hard to convince people that their dog food sucks ( took me a while) and well frankly... sad to say, some people just dont care.
I'd put together a buisness plan, do some market research and see from there

I'd be biting the hand that feeds me, unfortunately! Hubby works for a place whose sole client is Wallyworld.

MUST... APPEASE....CORPERATE...OVERLORDS....Oh, I mean "benevolent commercial entity", of course.

The quality of service has seriously dropped around here.

See, I'm talking on a much smaller scale... Like Techno wants some and Meb... and we just trial and error it for the first shot and then figure out a routine of ordering if we decide to stay on it...

Is there a minimum for shipping requirements? It would suck if you had to order like 30-50 bags inorder to get some to you.
Has anyone heard back from SG yet?

It's either 7.5 bags or 15 bags... I'm still waiting for TO to clarify...

Haven't heard from SG yet, but it's still the weekend.

No, I'm going to try talking to the owner again, but I doubt she can get it without a distributer. I have a lot of shopping around to do this week.

Yeah, I don't think I could handle Boo puking every night again. I don't think he could either. He hasn't thrown up in so long.

And still nobody is inventing a real hypoallergenic dog- as in is less likely to have allergies than other dogs.

Just noticed on the Go Natural Salmon and Oatmeal site - they claim to use wild west coast salmon. However in the ingredients it just lists it as salmon meal and salmon.

I sent an e-mail to Timberwolf Organics to ask where they get their salmon meal from cause it doesn't really say. They do label their oil as wild and distilled to remove environmental toxins.

....if anyone is concerned about wild vs farmed salmon.

It is better to eat wild but like Prin said, would the shortness of our dogs lives make it necessary to avoid this exposure? - perhaps the health benefits that come from eating salmon is more important?
