I'll take a guess to say that Sheba's owner, Mars Inc., is more interested in promoting its other pet food brands than Sheba. News reports say that in the middle of the Great Recession Mars Inc. intended to shut down Sheba in the U.S. market, but reversed course several months later. Still, in the New York City area my experience is that the supply of Sheba 3oz cans at the supermarket is significantly less than the supply of Iams cans, another Mars Inc. product, even though the price of Sheba is greatly discounted several times during the year. My supermarket even carries Royal Canin, another Mars Inc. brand, more than Sheba. That's why I purchase Sheba online. The pet shops near me charge much more for Sheba than the online retailers.
