Ugh!

Thank you to the food makers of Landon's food. Honestly, they couldn't have had worse timing. Last night I noticed it was time to reorder Landon's food. When I found time to go online and order it I was dumbfounded to see almost everything in the entire brand was out. They had some large breed and giant breed versions but that was it. I then started looking elsewhere. Same issue existed, all stores I tried were out. I was then wondering what the heck was going on...are hoarders now hoarding Landon's food brand? Don't worry I didn't seriously consider that thought. Anyway I decided to go to the company web site where I learned they are changing their packaging. UUUUGGGGGHHHH!

I hate package changing. Wait, let me say it again...I hate package changing. I went thru this a few times with the pug's brand of food. I don't know why pet food companies do this but they do it like this...they stop shipping their food to stores for a few weeks in an effort to sell all the bags/cans with the old look. I get that they want to change everything over at the same time, they don't want old look bags of toy breed sitting next to new look bags of medium breed. But it's not exactly the best way to keep your customer base happy. I guess if I was a dog mom that fed whatever at any given time it wouldn't matter but I'm not that type of dog mom.

I was unsuccessful finding his food anywhere online last night. Plus it was too late in the evening to call around. This morning I spent way too much time calling around to find it. I even started calling vet clinics as I know it is stocked at some vet clinics. I did find it at one vet clinic but they wouldn't sell it to me because Landon is not one of their patients. That's when I stopped calling vet clinics. I ended up finding it at a family owned pet supply store about 7 miles from us. Huge sigh of relief! I think their little store is still trying to do whatever they can to stay in business during this tough economic time so they were offering free delivery with a minimum purchase. I purchased about $3 over the minimum purchase requirement and got the free delivery service. Landon's food has already arrived. The little dude will be able to eat this week. He wasn't completely out, but rather low. I order all pet stuff from Chewy usually. So I'm pretty aware I need to make the order about 6 days before he runs out. Before covid you didn't need to allow a good 6 days. You could get by with 4 days but not anymore. I'm hopeful they will be back in stock with the new look bags by the time he needs food again. Fingers-crossed!
