A question about : Cheap and reliable online pet supplies

Can I start a thread hopefully to become a sticky?
When I want to buy something, I like to compare all places first and keep forgetting where to look. Places are mentioned in lots of threads but one has to read through lenghthy posts.
How about I start by saying who I've used and then people can PM for other ones to be added so that basically all places to look at are in one short post:
So far I've used the top 5:
www.vetuk.co.uk
www.pet-supermarket.co.uk
www.petmeds.co.uk
www.petplanet.co.uk
www.zooplus.co.uk
www.pets2home.co.uk
www.petdispensary.co.uk
www.puppyluvsme.co.uk
www.burns-pet-nutrition.co.uk/
www.wormers.co.uk
www.berriewoodwholesale.co.uk
www.sphsupplies.co.uk
www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk
www.hyperdrug.co.uk
www.dogtraininginfo.co.uk
www.landywoods.co.uk

Best answers:

  • pets2home.co.uk are very good, free delivery over Ј40 and quick too.
    Edit - oops sorry. you can add this to the list and delete this post if you like. sorry.
  • Could add www.petdispensary.co.uk to the list as I have just saved over Ј100 on there buy one get one free offer on Cosequin, can't fault there prices and service, posted it all free too!
  • Pet supermarket have given me nothing but grief!
    Bought a dog cage for my Dad (Dad's dog, not my Dad) paid the £2.oo next day delivery, but they didn't ship it till the next day (it was ordered at 10am, so no excuse) and it turned up 2 days late. Phoned up to get delivery charge back, said they would send a voucher, they never did.
    Realised it was too small, so enquired about returns. Got a really !!!!!y woman on the phone who was no help at all. Ended up ordering a larger one, assured that it would be shipped in time, it turned up 3 days late.
    Emailed them with the complaint and they agreed to collect the first cage free of charge, refund it and give me a £10 voucher.
    That was last week, and guess what? Still waiting on the refund, all the while interest is building up on that payment as I paid by credit card.
    I will use my £10 voucher, and after that I will never go near them again.
    update, September - still no refund! Now in the hands of the credit card company who will refund my Dad and chase pet supermarket for the refund.
  • i have nothing but praise for vetuk. I know alot of siamese cat breeders and they all swear by it too. So a big thumbs up for me!
  • I bought Drontal and Frontline recently and found vet-medic the best on prices, even though I had a 5% discount voucher for petmeds. For specific puppy stuff try www.puppyluvsme.co.uk free delivery on food, free shipping on orders over £50, free bag of treats on orders over £15 and they donate a % of profit to Dog's Trust.
  • This is an excellent thread
    I would say pets supermarket are too expensive but generally online is much cheaper than supermarkets.
    one I would add is: https://www.burns-pet-nutrition.co.uk/ - cheapest/dry food I have found for my cats & they are happier/healthier than they were on wet. Less cost, storage issues, litter cleaning & shopping trips for me too.
    Argos is good for catflap, timed feeders, bedding, bowls and covered litterbox
  • Ordered some Panacur from Wormers.co.uk was cheaper than else where ordered on Friday recieved monday.
  • Ordered some DAP from VetUK on Friday parcel recieved today and they have sent Feliway instead, went to contact them about this and only contact method seems to be by email, dos anyone have a phone number for them?
  • Update on VetUK, they have emailed to say they are sending out DAP and a prepaid envelope to send feliway back
  • I usually purchase drontal for my dogs from BestPetPharmacy and cannot fault them at all. They regulate what drugs you are ordering and drontal tablets are Ј1.73 each! WOW - I would pay closer to Ј18 for my two at the vets! Cheek of them!
    I also used to feed them on dry complete foods such as Royal Canine/Hills etc and would recommend ZooPlus for this.
    I now feed them on Tripe and raw Mince Meat now (stick it in freezer) - which is a better natural diet for them i use www.berriewoodwholesale.co.uk
    Anyway... enough.

  • I have to recommend sphsupplies.co.uk. I scoured the internet for hours and found that they were the cheapest online suppliers of timothy and orchard hay in the UK - these are very difficult to get hold of unless you're lucky enough to live right next to someone that grows it for horses, and without question the best source of forage for small animals. They also offer discounts on medical supplies and free syringes to rescuers, and offer the opportunity of adding an item to your basket, free of charge, to donate some Oxbow food to Reading Guinea Pig Rescue.
    They're always very quick to answer any queries and, as a rescuer myself, are a fantastic resource. The best thing about this website is that they don't sell any poor quality feeds such as those 'musli' rabbit and guinea pig mixes that you can find in pet stores, so you can be sure that whatever you purchase from them is of a high standard.
  • Chick crumb as cat litter
    Can I get that online or where is nearest stockist to me (South East London)?
  • https://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk
    Cheaper than eBay for Burns dog food (probably good for other stuff as well - I've just not checked). Well packaged, fast delivery. I can't vouch for their reliability as I've only just started using them.
  • You can get 10% off orders over Ј30 at https://www.hyperdrug.co.uk add tenperc into the coupon on the basket page!
  • Don't forget to go through Quidco. 5% on goods from petmeds.co.uk
  • sorry to mention it again but for healthy liver treats try www.dogtraininginfo.co.uk, most economical to buy the large bags.
    I should get commission! I only came on here to look at the parenting bit!
  • Hi Newbie here...been reading this forum with interest, lots of useful stuff.
    Thought I would ad my 2 pennies worth. I use this site https://www.petshop2u.co.uk/
    Used them for a little while now and have had no problems with them at all, very friendly and the site is easy to use. Delivery is a tad expensive but it has always turned up on time!
    Cheers
    Bw
