The following are sold at Walmart
* Pedigree
* Ol' Roy
* PetPride
* Special Kitty
Pedigree is sold at more stores than Wal Mart. I'm not sure about the
others. My dogs only get the 40lb bags of Pedigree small chunks dry
food. I did check one of the new bags I bought a few weeks ago but
haven't yet opened and it had a use by date of 09/2009. Consumerists
say the Pedigree bags in question have a use by date of 02/2009. Since
February 2009 is only a few months away (imagine that) most likely all
the recalled bags have already been eaten. I have a dry food bin so I
throw out the bag once the old food is gone and the new food goes into
the bin but it is very possible that my last bag was use by 02/2009 or
the bag before that. So far my dogs haven't gotten sick.
Perhaps Wal Mart sells old bags of pet food -- I don't know. I refuse
to shop at a store who has done much, including lobbying Washington, to
sell out America to the Chinese for a few pieces of silver.
ObFrugalLiving: I don't actually throw out the old bag, I use it as a
garbage bag. These bags have a thick plastic liner that make for a
fantastic garbage bag since nothing ever leaks out of them. |

My two cats were poisoned last March by the Special Kitty (Walmart) pouch
brand. They both lived, but they're still on meds and I'm out over $3k and
climbing. I still buy pouch cat food at Walmart, but only Purina brand,
since Purina (supposedly) controls all the ingredients of their products,
and nothing comes from China. |

I'll agree that Purina is good feed, but I'd bet you can get it
cheaper somewhere other than Walmart. Walmart wants to sell their
poisoned garbage. so they jack up the prices of other brands. Besides
that, why do business with a company that wants to destroy America?
DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH WALMART !!!!!! |

No other store around here sells the pouches cheaper than Walmart. I don't
like Walmart either, but I will always shop where the prices are lowest. |

So far, Walmart will keep on demanding lower prices to maintain their
margin each time they reorder as they do with all of their suppliers
and who knows what the supplier will do. Supporting Walmart only
encourages this type of behavior. |

I look for the cheapest prices too, but I'm not willing to sell out my
country for a few pennies. The cost of Purina cat food is 46 cents
more at a local feed mill. The feed mill is closer, so I save those
pennies in gas. At the same time, I can buy mens socks at Dollar
General (a bag of 6 pairs) for almost $2 less than at Walmart, and
it's the same brand. There again, Dollar General is closer than
Walmart so I save more on gas. Walmart wants you to believe they are
cheaper, but are they really? Yes, some items are cheaper, but many
are the same or more. Most of their food is quite a bit more than the
local grocery store. Motor Oil for my car is around 70 cents more per
quart at Walmart than at Dollar General. Both are Penzoil of the same
grade. The generic oil at Walmart is more than a dollar more per
quart. I only go to Walmart when I need something at 2am and it's
critical, such as toilet paper. I do everything to avoid that place.
They are ruining the economy and our country. |

Well, for me the Wal-Mart is the closest store, and MUCH cheaper on
everything I buy (except meat) than the grocery stores, so yeah, they are
cheaper. Granted, I buy practically no packaged food of any kind except for
pet food, and I get my meat once a month from the butcher, so I don't really
buy that much at Walmart. We grow most of our veg and we don't eat grains,
so dairy and fruit are pretty much the only things we buy from Walmart. |

Nonsense. If anyone is at fault, it's you for shopping at a place
you so despise. Hypocrite!
