Re: Loyall price hike

Funny thing this weekend. Went by Orscheln's to get some stuff. ProPlan Performance along with the others was on sale for $36.99. Loyall was priced at $39.99. Who would of thought that Loyall would get that big in their britches to outprice Pro Plan.

Re: Loyall price hike

I dumped Loyall a year ago when it went from $26.99 to $37.99 then I noticed this past weekend that it jumped to $39.99. they almost have hit the ProPlan price point.

Let us know about this Pride stuff. Love to hear more about it.
