I thought the same thing, I live about 45 minutes from any of the pet store that sell dog food. But when I went to the Nutro web site and entered my zip code, I found a feed store that sell it and it's only 10 miles away. I didn't have a clue that place was even there. They also sell a limited selection at the Tractor Supply Store and some kennels around here too. I read in one of the post that you are suppose to look for a food that has meat listed in the first 4 ingrediance. Is there a grain mill close to you? The one near me sells a few of the brands that everyone talks about too! Good Luck!
