Sophie's World

A bit ago, we switched Sophie from Science Diet to Wellness canned cat food. I have to admit that the change was readily approved by Sophie. I can’t say that she’s lost weight, but her coat looks fantastic.

Feeding canned food has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, I know it’s a better diet for her. I have better control of how much she eats. These are all very good points. The disadvantage is buying the food.

We live well off the beaten path. The Wellness brand is not sold at PetSmart. We have to find a Chuck and Don’s to get the food. I like the store, but the salespeople are a little more predator than I’d like. If I need something, I’ll ask. Don’t pounce on me the minute I walk in the door.

Anyway, making the trip to get Sophie’s food is a bit of a pain. Instead, I’ve opted to buy it online. A 10% discount was included for my next order. Even with the shipping, it’s still about the same price as going to the store. I’m saved the out-of-the-way trip, which is an added bonus. Just something to investigate if you need to regularly go out of your way to buy food.
