3434.0. "Yum! want some more, mom!" by BOOVX1::MANDILE () Mon Mar 19 1990 10:15

    Well, week 1 has gone by, and Rusty seems to be stable and
    able to "go" without pain.  The water & fiber added to the
    food is doing the trick.  Of course, the newness of the
    different food is wearing off.  Everyone, including Rusty,
    are not as excited about the "concoction".  But, they
    absolutely adore the Science Hill dry catfood.  They went
    through the 10 lb bag in 6 days!!!  Does this stuff come
    in larger bags?  Are there any places to get it where it
    would be less expensive then through the vets?  The vet
    only buys in small amounts, maybe the top Pet Stores carry
    it and buy in larger quantities for lower pricing???
    
    
    Thanks from the Crew,
    
    Lynne, Rusty, Pepper, B.K. & Casey

I don't know where you live/work, but I purchase it at Erickson's Grain Mill on Rt 27 in Acton MA. I know that Boston Pet in Waltham carries it, too,as does the Breeder's Pride Chain. (The Debby's Petland chain doesn't but is an Iams distributor) Deb

	Pet Foods Plus in Merrimack NH carrys it. My cats won't touch it. They would rather starve (including Thunder who eats anything). Sandi and the Storm Troopers
3434.3	where are you?	FRAGLE::PELUSO	PAINTS; color your corral	`Mon Mar 19 1990 12:58`	2
	where are you located? I feed it and have several sources in the Westboro - Uxbridge area.
3434.4	Here I am......	BOOVX2::MANDILE		`Mon Mar 19 1990 15:20`	8
	I live in the Middleboro, MA area, but have connections for Eriksons grain in Acton,MA, The Burlington, Ma and the Framingham MA area. A 20 lb bag sounds good. Westbor is not that far if the size/$$$ is good. Lynne (P.S.- 3 out of 4 could stand a few lbs!)
3434.5		FRAGLE::PELUSO	PAINTS; color your corral	`Mon Mar 19 1990 15:25`	14
	Where is middleboro????? Near uxbridge???? Consumer Pets in WEstmeadow plaza sells SD, Iams ect....Westboro. I buy the cans for roughly $23 - $25/per case. there is a new pet supply store in westboro - competition!!!!! So maybe they'll have a price war! Coutry side Farm & Garden in Uxbridge is real cheap for pet food. They have a large selection and offer discount prices on large quantities (Well I buy 1000lbs of grain every few weeks, not sure how it compares to the pet food)but their prices are the best around!

	Michele, where is the new pet supply store in Westboro?? --Roberta
3434.7	ex	FRAGLE::PELUSO	PAINTS; color your corral	`Mon Mar 19 1990 17:20`	3
	I believe it is in the Julio's shopping plaza, right near the card store. ( I think it used to be a clothing store). If I go by, I'll get the name......but there should be some competition.....
3434.8	I'm way at the end of 495....	BOOVX2::MANDILE		`Tue Mar 20 1990 09:01`	16
	Middleboro is 495S towards the Cape. (I'm off exit 4) Westboro is about 45 mins or so from me. I buy my horse's grain from Ventura Grain in Taunton, and I only buy 400 lbs about every 6 weeks or so. I get a good deal as I'm a steady customer, but they don't sell specialty cat or dog food. I will be calling the local feed stores and we also have a pet food specialty store a few towns away. Maybe they carry S Hill. Worst case I can wait until my monday meeting in Maynard and swing by Eriksons Grain on the way home. Does Eriksons carry the 20 lb bags of the S Hill Dry Maintenance catfood? Thx, Lynne
3434.9	Yes	VAXWRK::SKALTSIS	Deb	`Tue Mar 20 1990 11:34`	9
	>Does Eriksons carry the 20 lb bags of the S Hill Dry Maintenance >catfood? Yes. If you don't see any 20lb bags on display, ask. The large bags of stuff (including bird seed) are usually kept in the storage building. Deb
3434.10		CRUISE::NDC	Putiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313	`Wed Mar 21 1990 07:42`	4
	BTW - Its Hills Science Diet, not Science Hill, tho that's an interesting name. Just to make sure folks know what you're talking about.
3434.11	They should rename it just for me!	BOOVX2::MANDILE		`Wed Mar 21 1990 14:02`	14
	And I rec'd a coupon for this stuff for $2 off! Talk about JIT! The name and address is: Hill's Pet Products PO Box 1117 Jeffersonville, IN 47130 In case you want to contact them. I have contacted many of the petfood customer service depts to get my name on the mailing lists. They send you the coupons, free samples, special offers, etc. on their products. Lynne (p.s. I like "Science Hill" better than "Hill's Science"!!! They should rename it just for me!)
3434.12		CRUISE::NDC	Putiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313	`Thu Mar 22 1990 10:38`	1
	I like the name Science Hill better too :-)
