I wish Innova was cheaper with the same quality. I really don't have that much money but I love these dogs so **** much that I don't want to feed them any junk. Especially considering they can't talk so I feel horrible if I have to buy them a bag of cheap dog food. I wish I could find another brand of dog food with great human grade ingredients with plenty of nutrients that was much cheaper. Oh well, one of the sacrifices of being a dog lover.

Canidae is one of the better foods. I really don't think it's up to the standard of the Innova though, especially the EVO. I looked at it when I was choosing dog foods and after learning about the Innova didn't give it a second thought. I'd also have to feed a considerably larger amount to them, which negates any theoretical savings on the front end.
I just bought the Innova Large Breed Puppy Food from a local pet store and she charged me $51 for the 33 lb. bag. I bought it since she ordered it for me when it came out this week, but I'm gonig to check with the place I usually go to and see if it's that much. I know I didn't pay that much for the regular Innova. I like supporting small businesses, but I think she's charging a bit too much.
shredhead, have you calculated your daily feeding cost vs. the cost of the bag of food? innova has about 1/3 more calories than most other mainstream foods and also weighs roughly 30% more per cup, so you really need to take that into consideration.
and yes, canidae is a good food, but it doesn't quite measure up to the standard of any natura products. the people at canidae are also not as trustworthy and forthcoming with specific information and in one case even ignored my attempts to get to the bottom of an unannounced change of their formulation. i'm not going to elaborate (anyone who wants to know more can email me), but this incident has definitely changed my perception of their product and integrity.

The less expensive store may actually be the distributor in the area and the other store may purchase through them at a wholesale price. That still wouldn't be a legitimate reason for such a big difference in price, as the wholesale price should leave them room to sell near the average retail price and make a profit. It sounds like the $51 store is doing some price gouging.
