1. **State the problem:** Pet Supply makes a profit of $5.50 per bag of natural dog food. They want to make a profit of no less than 5225. We need to find the minimum number of bags they must sell.
2. **Set up the inequality:** Let $x$ be the number of bags sold. The profit per bag is 5.50, so total profit is $5.50x$. The inequality is:
$$5.50x \geq 5225$$
3. **Solve the inequality:** Divide both sides by 5.50 to isolate $x$:
$$\frac{\cancel{5.50}x}{\cancel{5.50}} \geq \frac{5225}{5.50}$$
$$x \geq 950$$
4. **Interpretation:** Pet Supply needs to sell at least 950 bags to make a profit of no less than 5225.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{950}$$
