Might they be too salty? I think it's the oil which is particularly good for them, but I don't know for sure.

Bought a packet of 3 rolled pork skins for 49p, its to be used for crackling but will be just as good as dog treats once cooked. a similar rolled hide is 99p for 1, here i get 3 for 49p.

If you are using pet supermarket for premium foods, check the deals.

Currently they have the Royal Canin Feline range, (sensible 33; Fit 32; Kitten 36, Mature and Exigent 35/30) at £12.94 for 2kg

But the 400g packs are currently reduced to £1.75

so buying 2kg in the 400g pack size works out as £6.75, a saving of £6.19 (Can that be right?)

They also have James Wellbeloved 225g packs of Turkey, duck or fish (no lamb) at £0.99. The 2kg packs do work out cheaper on these at £7.99 but as I wanted to try my cats out on JWB, the smaller packs are a bargain for me.

Or has my maths really let me down yet again

400g * 5 = 2000g

--> £1.75 * 5 = £8.75

So you still save a lot, just not quite as much as you thought.

This is my first post but I just wanted to share my moneysaving example on vet meds / food:

I just went on VET UK website (I haven't used them yet so i dont know about customer service etc) but is seems to be too good to be true. (I have 5 cats all rescues - some ill hence presc meds mentioned below)

VET UK VET
Drontal (each) £1.50 £3.00
Cystease (100 - for3 mth) £14.98 £50.00 (cystaid)
Fortekor (84 - for3mths) £34.44 £60.00
Frontline 6 pack £16.35 £24.00
Royal Canin YF S/O 10kg £38.65 £71.00
Royal canin YM S/O 10kg £38.65 £71.00
TOTALS £144.67 £279.00

SAVING 134.33 FOR 3 MONTHS!!

has anyone used this site before recently - does anyone know if they take electron cards? I am presuming they are ok as they have been used before by quite a few moneysavers looking at the forums but the saving seems too good to be true

Thanks

I've used VetUK for years now, their prices are excellent as is the service. I often receive orders the very next day (sent by normal Royal Mail) and postage is free. I always click via a rescue link too - it takes you to the exact same site and you order as normal but the bonus is VetUK donate 5% of my order value to charity

You'll need a prescription from your vet for the Fortekor though, you post it off and they hold it on file if you don't order the full quantity or it's a repeat one. This obviously means you won't receive your first order as quickly as normal as they need to receive the prescription from you before they'll despatch anything. Vets can now charge for prescriptions but you'd still be saving, mine charges £5 per prescription.

Ohh can they have pilchards in brine? I have tons of cans of that & wonder if Chaya might like some for tea!

The brine would be too salty. They can have them in Oil, and even the Tomato sauce ones are ok for them

I dont think the brine would be a problem if they are only an occasional treat, but it may be worth rinsing them.

Fish in oil is fine, but do drain the oil off unless your dog is skinny, as it is only veg oil, (it's the actual oil in the oily fish which is good for them), and yes, I give mine fish in tomato sauce although I would be very surprised if that didnt contain some salt too!
