I have been stopping at PetSmart to pick up snacks, treats, food, and meds for my boys and it's getting expensive at roughly $200 a week.

Is there any place online that offers pet products at discounted rates? I don't mind spending $800 a month on them because I think they're more than worth it but if I can get the same products for a lower price then that would be great!

Thanks!

Have you looked at petsmart.com?

Um, wouldn't they have the same prices as their retail stores?

Fuck I am an idiot. When I read your thread I read the pet store name as something entirely different.

Costco and buy in bulk maybe? I have never bought pet supplies at Costco but have seen some stuff there. Only thing I can think of!

I've used this place several times. They always seem to be a lot cheaper than Petco, Petsmart, etc... http://www.jbpet.com/Shopping/default.asp

Depending on what you feed your dog you might want to stick to the same quality of food regardless where you buy it from... I've heard horror stories about pets that were used to a certain quality of food that got fed lesser quality food and ended up with complications with something in the digestive track

Actually, the websites often have great deals that the stores can't offer. I bought a canister filter from Petco (the store) a couple of weeks ago for $159, and then I found the same exact one at Petco.com for $89 with free shipping.
Never hurts to check online before buying anything in their stores.

I've also bought items from Doctors Foster & Smith a few times and saved money, but they never seem to have the free shipping deals.
