    I buy all my food from Zooplus

    they stock a lot of foods made in Europe, Germany and Sweden especially, and I find them much better quality than the stuff sold in our supermarkets, and cheaper too if bought in bulk

    second vote for zooplus, quick delivery too :-) I always buy the 40L cat litter as its cheaper (and cheaper than the same thing in pets at home) and they often have deals... so save you lugging it home from the shops too. don't forget quidco :-)

    tesco doing buy3 pay for 2 ,everything on isle [cat and dog food ect.] , have loaded up with dog food , a bargain
  • Zooplus here too, much prefer the European wet foods, much higher quality than our commercial foods and economical.

    If you spend more than £75 you get 5% discount and you also get 10% off your first order. They also have a rewards points system which you can trade for items which is nice for the odd treat :)

    I think PAH are one of the most expensive places to shop for pet supplies. I would google the brand of food you use and go to the 'shopping' tab, then set the search to show items with the lowest price first. Bare in mind there's postage costs to think about, but most places will be cheaper in bulk. You could also use Quidco for cashback. :)
  • What sort of food do you feed? It is cheaper in the long run to feed a good quality dry food as you use far less.

    Zooplus fan here as well.

    Only use PAH when they have offers... 3 for 2 or similar...

    I have used Pets@home when good offers like 2 for £5, free delivery and 10% off on certain spend!

    The biggie Supermarkets and Iceland do offers from time to time.

    I check with Mysupermarket.com before I buy any.

    I currrently have catfood until January 2012!!

    My cat has a choice of wet/dry and home cooked.

    Zooplus are the best - as another poster stated the foods they stock are far superior to what's available in our supermarkets & I can't fault their fast turnaround for delivery. I used Petsupermarket recently as they had a special offer on Bozita - lets say I won't be in a hurry to use them again - `free 7 day delivery' turned out to be 10-day delivery after alot of nagging - note: you had to spend over £29 to get it. Zooplus give you free delivery with a spend over £19 (with a 3 day delivery time) & as they do not charge by weight you can order litter too. I recommend Bozita or Aniconda Carni wet & Burns dried - am currently mixing Oko Cats Best with Moonlight litter.

    an update on my vote of confidence and customer service for Zooplus. we had a delivery in the week, when I finally opened the parcel last night, found 1 out of a 3 pack cat treats has a damaged box and the contents spilled all over the inside of the delivery box, and a slightly damaged tray to the cat grass :( emailed them last night to give feedback for the packaging for delivery and specified I'm not bothering with returning the damaged items as they probably cost the same as postage back to them, besides the contents are still fine (cats had a field day eating them spilled ones off the box :rotfl:) anyway, this morning had a lovely email from their customer service apologising for the damage and inconvenience (not that there's much :p) and they are refunding the full amount for the cat grass and all 3 boxes of cat treats anyway and I'm not required to send anything back :T if this is not good customer service, I don't know what is :beer:
