Pet Food buying online guide

It’s always been a chore to carry heavy pet supplies home from the store, but with the wonders of the internet it’s no longer necessary to do so. Now, you can sit at your computer, click a few buttons and have the supplies you need sent to your door. What a saving in money for starters – makes it worthwhile paying a small delivery fee when you think about parking costs and the ever rising cost of petrol.

Now shopping at an online pet store isn’t quite like shopping on the high street, you won’t find any bunnies to stop and ooh and ahh over, but you won’t find that dreadful pet shop smell either! Don’t expect to be able to buy your pets here, but do expect to be able to buy pretty much everything else you could possibly want. From pet food, nibbles and toys, to aquariums, terrariums and all other manner of housing for your furry (or otherwise) pets.

There are of course many different online pet food and pet supplies stores that you can shop at. Zooplus is an interesting store where you can find over 5000 pet products available. The store is divided into sections that make sense, so all cat products are grouped together, and all dog products together etc. You can also search the site for specific items if you want to, or you can look for things by product type – like food, or bedding. Look out for special offers at zooplus as well, and also free gifts as they often offer you something free when you spend a certain amount or more.

Another site worthy of a look is Pet Supermarket where they have almost as extensive a range of products available, as well as a puppy club and a kitten club. When you join either of those you are given many things such as money off codes for products, and special offers on items you may find useful for your young pet. They also offer a price promise which makes them incredibly good value, and also free delivery when you spend more than £39. Oh, and if you join their newsletter, you can also get 5% off everything you buy with them too!

Pets2home is a good place if you want information as well as products as they have a section where you can see what a vet says about various concerns you might have. They also have a points system where when you shop with them you build up points to use next time. They also have some really good competitions on the site at times too which are worth keeping an eye open for.

Pet Planet has a vast range of items for sale and you even get a free breed book with every order too. Laid out nicely this shop is easy to use, and they have a lot of additional features as well like their own forum for pet owners.

No matter which of these or the many other online pet supplies stores you use, you will probably find you’ve an even larger range of products to choose from than you would have in your local pet store, and of course as I mentioned at the beginning, you won’t have to carry any of it home. Don’t forget to look out for shopping voucher codes too as many pet supplies shops have these available.
