Just checked 4 surrounding Sams club and all are out of Dog Chow! Rumor is Purina raised the price again.

As of last week our local Sams club was still carrying Purina. I'm in Louisiana.

all they had was pro plan talked to someone they said they might or are going to quit making hi pro not sure if thats true or not

To Danny _ Did you see ProPlan at Sams? If so where? I feed proplan but have never seen sams or walmart carry it.

Our local Sams sells Purina Puppy Chow, Dog Chow, Hi-Pro and Pro- Plan.
I use the Dog chow variety and it costs around $22.00 for a 55# bag.

sams club in charleston wv. sales dog chow, puppy chow and hi-pro. high pro is 21.12 for 50# dog chow about the same.

Walmart carries Pro Plan here but TSC sells it cheaper, Walmart will kill you on dog food, other places are 1-3 bucks cheaper which is a surprise.

The only purina that sams in saginaw michigan had was pro plan red bag not sure if that matters to anyone about color of the bag but it was a darker red and there was no dog chow or hi pro they said they werent going to carry the dog chow anymore

Just got back from Sams and they were out of everything except puppychow, i asked the guy working where the Hi-Pro was and he said that Purina had gone up on the price again and that Wal-mart & Sams would not be carrying Purina after they sold what was in stock.

They are now carrying a brand called Makers Mark it says it is compariable to Purina Hi-Pro, has anyone ever heard of or used this food ?

Purina has stopped making Hi Pro.When what is in the pipeline is used up it gone.

I was at the wall mart today and all they had left was puppy chow and the small bags of dog chow? I wasn't going to buy any feed so I didn't ask anyone about it but it looked like even there ol roy stock was down quite a bit. It's hard to say what there up to.

From Purina-

Thank you for contacting Nestlé Purina PetCare Company.

We appreciate you contacting us, and we can understand your concerns. Please know that effective January 2009, various Nestlé Purina PetCare have undergone price increases.

The increases are necessary due to escalating ingredient, energy, packaging and transportation costs, which in turn, have increased manufacturing costs. In addition, increased government requirements and subsidies for alternative fuel sources, including ethanol and bio-diesel have caused substantial increases in corn, soybean, and wheat prices.

Nestlé Purina PetCare is committed to making high quality products and makes every effort to provide these products at a fair price. We remain committed to providing consumers the highest quality PetCare products, backed by sound innovation in nutrition and formulation. Please know that retail pricing is at the sole discretion of the retailer, we do not control the final prices seen at the shelf.

Again, thank you for visiting our web site.

Talked to Sam's in Florence, AL was told would not be handling Dog Chow because of another price increase as of Jan.
