Online Specialty Retailers

Here are some helpful tips about pet supplies that are good to know:

  1. Regular price checks between stores can save up to 30% on premium pet food brands, especially when buying in bulk quantities.
  2. When choosing pet supplies, focus on quality over price for items your pet uses daily – like beds, collars, and food bowls. These items face heavy wear and tear.
  3. Consider your pet’s size and age when purchasing toys – what works for a puppy may not be suitable for an adult dog.
  4. Always keep at least a two-week supply of essential items like food, medication, and litter. This helps during unexpected shortages or emergencies.
  5. Many pet stores offer price matching – keep screenshots of online prices to show in-store for better deals.
  6. Seasonal sales are great times to stock up on non-perishable items like toys, bedding, and grooming supplies.
  7. When trying a new food brand or treat, buy the smallest package first to ensure your pet likes it before investing in larger quantities.
  8. Join pet store loyalty programs – the points add up quickly when buying regular supplies and can lead to significant savings.
  9. Research pet products online before buying – customer reviews often reveal quality issues or size problems not apparent in store displays.
  10. Keep your pet’s measurements handy when shopping – especially for items like collars, harnesses, beds, and clothing.
  11. Buy seasonal items (like cooling mats or winter coats) during off-season sales for the best prices.
  12. Many stores offer student and senior discounts on pet supplies – always ask about available discounts before checking out.
