3747.0. "Feline dry C/D is now available in 20lb bags!" by VAXWRK::SKALTSIS (Deb) Tue Jun 26 1990 17:44

    I just went to the vet Saturday to pick up a bag of dry FELINE C/D and
    to my delight they now sell it in the 20 sack (instead of the 8 lb
    sack). I think it cost me $38.60, significantly cheaper than 2 and 1/2
    8 pound bags would have cost.

    I know that I called Hill's asking about this a while back, as did (I
    think) Jo. Sounds like they listened to us and a few others and did
    something about it!

3747.1Perform has cut out options, alasRHODES::GREENECatmax = Catmax + 1Tue Jun 26 1990 18:0610
    Perform has cut back on the cat/kitten food size options.  Darn.
    I now have to open several small cans, as they have discontinued
    the large kitten food cans.
    
    And they discontinued the *small* kitten food bags.  That is fine
    with me, a breeder, but not so nice for the owner of a single kitty.
    
    They had a clearance sale, with the small bags available by the
    case for 40% of former price.  I ordered *many* cases.  The UPS
    delivery person must not have been happy that day!

    I did call Science Diet about the C/D.  I am now feeding it to both
    Kalliste and Moody.  Glad to hear that we can now buy it in 20lb
    bags.  I am about halfway through my last 8 pounder.  Thanks for
    the tip, I will be looking for it now.

    Re: Discontinuation of SMALL kitten food bags.
    
    I had to cancel my automatic distribution because of such a supply
    of food.  Bailey loves it, but the kid can only eat so much!  My
    concern is the freshness.  I have every tupperware container I own
    filled with Perform!  The distribution would have worked with the
    small bags, but there is just too much excess with the large.

    Awhile back CD stopped being available in small cans.  Even with
    three cats, this means the "second serving" sits in the fridge and gets
    cold and unappetizing.  Ugh.  (I tried warming it up a little in
    the microwave, but they wouldn't touch it.)

    re:  .5 _ You might have made it too warm for them.  Try just barely
    taking the chill off.  That's what I do for mine and they'll eat it.
    
3747.7how logn can it last?ALLVAX::LUBYDTN 287-3204Wed Jun 27 1990 12:498
RE: .0

   The 8 lb bag lasts me about 3 weeks.  If I got the 20 lb, it would last
   7-8 weeks.... is that too long to have the food sitting around?  In the
   summer, the place where it is stored is 80 degrees.

    PERFORM called me to tell me about the sale.  Call their 800
    number and ask if they have any left.
    
    As for storage times, the main thing is keeping it in an airtight
    container.  I use *huge* Rubbermaid sealed plastic containers. 
    And also those IAMS buckets that they were selling for $1 with a
    purchase a year or two ago.  (sure could use more of those!)
