Great Feed, House and Keep Your Pets Hunt

kiansmummy

talking of making own dog food does anyone have any recipes? I have a puppy and puppy food is soooooooooooo expensive.

Also have three hungry cats to fed.

Wilkinsons is great for offers on pet foods especially the big brands such as pedigree and whiskas I tend to stock up when they have offers on.
check out their website http://www.wilko.co.uk/products/petcare.htm

For dogs, try Jollyes own brand nuggets. They come in a 15kg bag for approx £6.50

This lasts my dog for approx 6 weeks. Available in beff or chicken and veg flavours.

Use the store locator to help find a store near you.

Best value pet insurance for me this year was Marks and Spencers

Hope this helps

Forgot about Jollyes very good value.

I guess this falls under 'keeping them healthy'

My gf's dog need a drug called Metacam to fix up it's arthritis. The vet wanted 50 quid for it so i persuaded her family to try buying it online. We used http://viovet.co.uk/ as it was local. They require a prescription (Which your vet can't charge to fill out) and only took 2 days to turn up recorded delivery. The cost - 25 pounds, half the price of the vets.

My dog is on Seraquin (glucosamine and chondroitin), which I paid £25 for from the vet for 2 months supply. Found out today that the same thing is available online for £6.95 with free delivery.

I'm about as fond of vet's as I am doctors. Have just discovered Joint Aid - link below - our English Springer has athritis in both front legs was about to try Cortoflex but decided to try Joint Aid first. It seems to be very effective also made in UK and not a chemical concoction...........

Does anyone know where you can get the large 15kg bags of Bakers Complete for under £20? I had been getting mine in MK Tesco at £12, but it's suddenly shot up to £22.

Any ideas?

Please, please be careful with the BARF diet. I had two dogs on this diet. The warning there is 'HAD' two dogs. It is such a highly concentrated diet, a bit like keeping your pets on the Atkins diet for life!

Please read up about cushions disease/liver/kidney failure, and go to the websites that don't recommend BARF. I am no expert either, but I do believe this diet contributed to the loss of my dogs. I may be completely wrong, but I just wish the canine behaviourist who advised me to take this up had explained the whole story. If they had, I would never have done it.


After alot of research, I now give Arden Grange food to my latest two recruits, and WOULD recommend it.

I buy my cat food from Trophy Pet Foods - they are against animal testing and also I get substantial savings from supermarket brand prices

They specialise in dried foods - but my cats need wet as well - the trick is to become an established customer as they dont market the wet stuff to newbies, because they want to promote the dry

The dry stuff is probably a 50% saving over stuff like kitekat it comes in 4 kilo sacks and I buy large quantities so that I dont pay postage

The delivery time is one to two days

The cats love this food - they also sell food for dogs and rabbits etc

The best thing is that its not tested on animals - did you know that dog and cat food is generally tested in horrible conditions - cats are kept in cages and foods are tried on them until they are sick - this doesnt make sense if you love your cat, so if you are buying the brands you can buy in your local supermarket you are probably exploiting animals and you didn't know it.

The way I found out about trophy was going on to a vegan website - I wouldnt feed my cat vegan food but there were loads of links to non animal testing brands of cat and dog food - and buying mail order is generally way cheaper

Hope this helps and I will have converted a few people
