As a cat owner, it seems like the most important thing in the world for your cat to just have a healthy and even more tasty diet. But if you have a multi-cat household, high-quality cat food can get kind of expensive. You know that buying canned cat food in masses is an economical method to go, and you intend to provide your feline good nutrition. This post is a guide to bulk pet food, so you can save the most money on your furry friend.
Buying Canned Cat Food in Bulk
Let us now look at why you should buy cheap canned cat food in bulk. The most significant is the reduction of cost. This is because as it goes, bulk purchasing usually means a lower price per unit so there can be big savings in your pet food budget. This is especially great for those of you that do a ton of food prep.
And it will mean fewer trips (in time, gas and money) to buy food items because you bought in bulk. It also means you can never run out of your cat’s favourite food (the nightmare scenario of an empty pantry seconds before their afternoon feed is avoided forever). This is very useful if you have a cat with a fussy diet and swear by a particular brand or type.
Places to Get Canned Bulk Cat Food
Knowing where to store and buy in bulk is the answer for making affordable bulk purchasing options. While your neighborhood grocery store may have a couple of multipacks, the genuine sweet-spot is found at specific retailers on the web and in-store.
Online Pet Supply Stores: Websites like Chewy or Petsmart will often have a whole section of the site that is dedicated to “bulk” or “autoship” items which is truly helpful because it allows you to sign up for regular shipments of something (food, etc.) and even purchase them at a discounted price since you are buying in bulk. They also have a lot of promotions, and codes for coupon or offer subscriptions that discount the price even further.
Wholesale Clubs: Costco is great for high-end generic canned cat food. The best example is definitely Kirkland Signature’s big variety packs of both paté and chunks in gravy for prices that are very hard to beat.
Wholesale B2B Suppliers: For those running shelters or other non-profits, or even just a big clowder business-to-business (b2b) sites like Alibaba could provide an additional discount. Expect order quantities to be at least in the hundreds, if not more.
Best Brands for Bulk Buying
When trying to figure out which brands are worth stocking up on, the key is to find a balance between cost and nutrition. Shop for brands that are AAFCO (Associa-tion of American Feed Control Officials) compliant and that name a specific meat as the first ingredient. Some popular budget-friendly brands that provide bulk items are;
Friskies/Fancy Feast: These are the Walmart of cat treats in that they’re dirt-cheap and you can buy them anywhere, usually 30 different or more flavors to a box.
Costco Store brand — Kirkland Signature: Costco is known for stocking products that carry the Kirkland name, and they’re usually a great bargain and good quality food.
Wellness: Yes, this brand is generally a bit higher in price but offers bulk packs and includes its grain-free formula for a better-quality diet.
In conclusion
Strategically stocking up on canned cat food allows you to control pet care costs. Whether it is checking out online retailers, wholesale clubs or even B2B Suppliers for cat food shelves, you can do everything without spending a fortune yet keeping your pantry full and your feline companion well-fed.
