130 Views

We shop for ourselves online all the time now. From sporting goods to household needs to clothing and accessories, some shop for online deals daily. Browsing and buying pet supplies should be no different.

Whether you want to get Rover a new bone, buy Fluffy a new collar, or simply find the cheapest pet food delivery option, these 12 online pet stores can give you the selections and deals you need.

1. Petsmart

This is a well-known favorite when it comes to shopping for your furry friend. The online deals and savings can be just as good, if not better, as the in-store ones.

Petsmart also offers free shipping on select items when your cart totals at least $49 worth of merchandise. Just be sure to check products for the shipping discount message before adding them to your cart.

Petsmart also offers some great online conveniences for in-store pickups of items purchased on the website as well as bookings for their grooming salons.

2. Petco

With supplies for dogs and cats as well as birds and reptiles, Petco does have decent promotions on products. When you click to obtain more information on their free shipping for orders of $35 or more, you will get complete details.

Be sure to look through the Sale section before you begin adding items to your cart for great deals. The promotions change frequently, so check back often for discounts, gift cards, and promotional codes to use at checkout. Petco also offers a Repeat Delivery service where you choose your items and schedule them to be delivered regularly. If you order the same items often, this can amount to terrific savings because you can get up to 35 percent off.

3. Chewy

Chewy.com is a good option for your dog or cat shopping needs. This store offers free 1- to 2-day shipping on orders over $49 along with AutoShip. This repeated shipping option provides five to 10 percent off on select brands and they often have discounts just for signing up.

The Today’s Deals area is full of products with wonderful savings on everything from toys to treats to grooming supplies. The shop also offers prescription medication, gift cards, and 24/7 customer support.

4. Allivet

Allivet also offers the AutoShip program giving 5 percent off scheduled products. They too have the free shipping on orders over $49. This store does provide products for more than just dogs or cats, however. You can shop for your fish, birds, livestock, and horse supplies as well.

Allivet does not have a large sales or clearance section like some of the other stores, but they offer some little extras. For example, they have a Refer-A-Friend program where you can win a prize, they provide live customer service Monday through Saturday, and a quick reorder feature.

5. BudgetPetCare

This pet store is the one for some real savings when it comes to shipping. They offer free shipping on all orders within the United States. They have sections for Homeopathic, Supplements, and Hygiene products to make your search easier.

Their Special Deals section is a bit limited with the number of products offered, but they, like Allivet, also have a few bonuses on their site. BudgetPetCare has an online chat service to answer your questions and a newsletter signup for extra savings to your inbox.

6. Coupaw

Shop here if you enjoy giving back. Every order placed will provide six meals to rescue animals in need. This might be just enough reason for you to shop and feel good about yourself at the same time.

But if you would like a little more, the site offers free shipping on orders over $49, everyday values, and a Gift of the Month program which delivers a gift to your pet’s door for a low monthly fee and free shipping.

7. Only Natural Pet

Only Natural Pet is a little different as they sell holistic, natural, and eco-friendly products in their line. They sell dog and cat supplies with quite a variety; from toys and gear to vitamins and supplements to grooming and cleaning supplies. All orders over $49 will be shipped for free and they have a nice weekly deals section.

8. Dog.com

Do not be fooled by the name and skip this one if you have a cat because Dog.com caters to felines too. There is a nifty little section on the site just for cat supplies and they also link directly to their horse and ferret supply stores. Dog.com offers free shipping on orders over $69 and weighing up to 15 pounds.

Like a couple of others we have seen, this store has an “Auto Ship” program for your convenience where you can receive 20 percent off of select products. They also have a really good clearance section, sorted by category, and with options to filter your results.

Medicine-Specific Pet Stores

9. 1-800-PetMeds

For joint enhancers, flea and tick control, arthritis, and more, 1-800-PetMeds is a superb choice. They offer free shipping on orders over $49 and often have promotional banners at the top for extra savings.

1-800-PetMeds also provides some useful information with their Pet Education section and Vet Directory for finding a doctor for Fluffy if you are new in town. The site caters to dog, cat, and horse parents and is much easier to navigate than some of its medicine-specific competitors.

10. VetRXDirect

VetRXDirect is another good spot to shop for Spot’s medicine. Like many others, their free shipping applies to orders over $49 and their prices are competitive with 1-800-PetMeds, depending on the product. So, it is worth a look to comparison shop and you can also sign up for their newsletter to get additional savings.

11. PetCareRX

PetCareRX is the third excellent option for medical products for your pet. This site offers free shipping on orders of just $48 or more. Also, PetCareRX offers a terrific savings program called PetPlus.

If you join this membership program, you can pay wholesale prices for your medications plus receive free shipping on those items with no minimum. The cost for PetPlus membership is $99 per year, so depending on the number of pets you have and the frequency with which you purchase their medications, you may save a lot of money. Other features include discounts on other pet supplies, local pharmacy pick-up, and helpful wellness, medication, and breed guides.
