To All OMA’S PRIDE Valued Customers In order for OMA’S
PRIDE to continue to provide top quality products and meet your pet food
needs, we are forced to modify our prices. Some items have already
been increased due to the incredible increases we have seen from our
suppliers.
There are many factors
driving these increases.
· Farmland
that was previously used for growing a variety of vegetables has been
converted to growing corn for ethanol production, thereby causing
decreases in the frozen vegetable supply and increases in the price.
· We
are all acutely aware of the dramatic rise in fuel prices, which increases
the prices of getting the products to us from our suppliers and, quite
frankly, cuts across all industries, IE: power, plastics, ink for labels,
cleaning supplies, etc…….
· The
decrease in the value of the dollar against other currencies has increased
the price of imported products.
· The
production of raw pet food has come to the attention of many suppliers.
Products for which they previously did not have a large market and, either
disposed of, or got short dollars for, are now commanding premium prices.
· Operational
expenses are continually rising. IE: taxes, insurance, electricity, wages,
etc………
Please be assured that
we are continually searching for alternate suppliers of top quality
products at reasonable prices, and will not compromise on the quality of
the ingredients in OMA’S PRIDE products.
Thank you for your
continued support and your understanding of the necessity for these
increases.
