How do you know they've had "no particular bad luck" I didn't see that posted anywhere. Seems like an assumption to me. A lot of people lately have bad luck, I don't pretend to know who on here has or hasn't. People food, dog food, chicken food, ect has all gone up. While people have lost jobs, been layed off, given reduced hours, pay/benefit cuts, less or no income even though prices go up.
Well then the other owners you sympathize with are in a situation they created by having x amount of dogs in the first place and not planning ahead just in case bad times come along. Let alone for themselves if they have an animal and/or child that depends on them and no back up plan?
Thats probably a good thing because they were not asking for sympathy nor someone to feel sorry for them. Nor were they whining. They were actually asking what food would be cheaper but still good, a common question being asked a lot lately by many people.
Guess you'd have had a lot of questions about me as a kid. I had my dogs for companionship and showing. I can't speak for this poster, I actually never even thought about why they had dogs, but I would assume because they like dogs and enjoy having them. Whether someone is in school, works full time, has responsibilities outside the home and whether they have infinite income or limited budget its their business if they have dogs and what they do with those dogs, as long as said dogs are not neglected or abused.

At least I'm not the only one. I don't feel so bad. I go through over 300lbs in raw on the regulars anyway, the other I just give them some from time to time switch it around who gets what throughout the week or give them whole prey animals. Then all the kibble we go through. Yikes.
For two senior dogs, would the protien and fat content in the Exceed chicken formula be too much for them?
