Best Value Pet Food
Firstly let me shout out loud - DON'T SPEND OVER £40
ON A 15KG DOG FOOD, BECAUSE THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE!!
The best value is always being able to buy the food you want at
a good price, and therefore if you are paying full RRP then you're
probably paying too much because it's very competitive out there!
Major brands are discounting to the wholesale trade so if your
pet shop is still charging ful price maybe you need to vote with
your feet!
Good value (and widely available) dog foods that are around at
the moment include Arden Grange Lamb & Rice available on a 2
bag deal from G
J Titmuss and it's difficult to beat anything like this for
a quality natural food.
Buy 2 x 15kg bags of Arden Grange Lamb for only £54.96 or
just £27.50/bag.
And add to that Harringtons for price, as a 15kg bag is only a
little over £20, and again it's a good quality natural food.
And what about the own label brands that are available in pet shops
and online? There's not a lot wrong with many of these, which are
often made on the same production line and with similar ingredients
and recipes to the big boy brands!
An example 'own brand' would be JB
Petfood where you can buy a good natural food for £23.99
or Whites Premium
which is a tad more expensive.
Compare these prices to the RRP of James Wellbeloved and Burns
at over £45 a bag!
