  1. I love big lots when it comes to pet supplies, I've bought ton of canned foods that was $.50- .75 each, normally retailing for $2.50-3.00 at local boutiques, including dogswell, pet promise and canine cattle company.
    They also have treats called Natures Dog and another one, forgot the name, but also all natural, corn, wheat, soy free and come in 3 flavors.
