Ask if they could start carrying it!

When I switched myc ats over in January, the shop I go to only carried the 5 pound bag. (or maybe it is 6 pounds; anyhow it is small.)

It is a small, family run place. I mentioned that I have 7 cats and I could use the larger bag.

Two weeks later, they told me that they spoke with a number of their cat customers. Most of us have multiples, (surprise, surprise) so now they keep the 18 pound bags in stock. And I can go in once a month and buy one bag of cat food. (AND one bag of dog food, and 6 cans of dog dessert food, and doggie natural treats, and . . . . )
