Best place to buy specialist pet food

My two cats are on different prescription diets. My older one has to have a weight control wet food because of long term steroid use and my younger one is on a dry food for sensitive stomachs. It is quite expensive and I was wondering if anyone can give me recommendations for places that sell the specialist foods at a reasonable price.

    If you Google    the name of the food you should get links for suppliers.

    Zooplus is one I have used.  There is also Fetch.co but haven't used them.

    The online veterinary chemists also supply specialist foods.

    Price  may vary from month to month  so will depend on the price when you buy.

    Generally I find Zooplus is overall cheapest for most cat food, but I'm not sure if they do foods that actually require a vet prescription (as opposed to specialist foods).  You can also purchase a 'discount' which is applied to all purchases you may in a year.  If they are on very specific foods then, to be honest, it's a case of finding the cheapest each time you buy, as prices do fluctuate.
