      All her food comes from chewy and I’ve tried this.

      You know we should try auto order.

      Orders food

      Comes in just fine, But we’ve misguessed on the reorder date.

      We’ll just single order a second bag so that we’ve got one in stock. It’s kind of ridiculous to have 68 lb of dog food around but it won’t go bad that soon.

      Single bag comes in, 3 days later reorder bag comes in…

      Dog: btw I hate this dog food and I’m not eating it anymore

      O.O

      Add some crumbles in: nope

      Add some wet food in: nope

      Gravy, chicken, start doing food theater.

      Dog: The dry food is now poison

      In the middle of trying to solve this we get another reorder.

      Chewy lets us cancel and donate that bag to the local animal shelter.

      We change over from a duck version to a salmon version, dogs been eating it fine now for 2 years.

      I love chewy to death but between our own incompetence and our dogs fickle eating habits…

      I’ve started baking chicken thighs from Costco. $1.79 a pound, They are easy to debone and a $20 package fills four tall deli containers. The dry food is now a condiment for teeth health. And if it runs out she can Make it just fine on meat for a couple of days.
