Bi-Mart Now Sells A High-Quality Dog Food

9/19/2018 Update:  WinCo is also selling all four varieties of Supreme Source food at a very good price.

Bi-Mart stocks Supreme Source Dog Food, which is a very good grain-free food.  So far, I've seen the Turkey Meal and Salmon Meal varieties at the Corvallis store.  Supreme Source also makes a grain-free Lamb Meal food. 

This is good news if you have been feeding the Merrick brand of food to your pooch.  Merrick was recently acquired by Purina, which is never good news.  However, evidently some folks who had been with Merrick branched off and are now manufacturing Supreme Source, which explains why their bag looks just a bit like the Merrick bag.  When I first saw the Supreme Source bags on the Bi-Mart shelves, I mistook them for Merrick.  Glad I took a closer look, as the food is fairly priced ($27 for a 22# bag) and has received good reviews at DogFoodAdvisor.com

My pooch, Keith, has taste-tested the Salmon Meal recipe and loves it.  Here he is chilling out after sampling his latest food...

It's A Good Bet Dog Racing Will End In Florida - Washington Post

The Greyhound race has followed the same pattern for almost a century.  With a metallic screech the lure sets off, and eight dogs burst onto the track in chase.  A half-minute later, the explosion of speed leaves a trail of sand, cigarette butts and torn betting slips in its wake, to be repeated across a hot afternoon.

But soon it may be extinct.
