Petco has $20 off $49 on some mostly higher end foods for both dogs and cats. Some brands include Tiki Cats/Dogs, Wellness, Applaws, Iams, Werevu, and a few more.

Add items to your cart and use code FEBDEAL at checkout.
From what I could tell, this did not stack with other deals like 10% off $50 buy online pick up in store.

Bought two 10 lb bags of Wellness Rawrev for small breed for only $55 after tax. Normally $48 each before tax!

The food was actually on sale for like $38ish each for once - never seen it discounted before. $20 off and then 10% off the remainder for store pickup. Amazing deal!

Still a great deal, but I'm laughing at the fact that two boxes of tiki cat came to $49.94… so I had to add a box of cat litter. But I needed litter anyway, so it works out.

Wellness definitely is. Iams is poison.
Our vet recommended Iams over more "boutique" pet foods. We were feeding them 4Health from Tractor Supply Co. for many years and one of our dogs seems to be doing better on Iams. /shrug

FYI, doesn't stack with Repeat Delivery $20.

One popular cashback site offers 5%.

The best cat food on the deal is Wellness Core Digestive Health turkey or chicken. Rated a 9 out of 10 on CatFoodDB.

Which site is that?

My breeder recommends Purina dog chow. She gets sores in her mouth occasionally but nothing major. Recommend!

High end? SMH. Where are the organic brands? Those are higher end.
Well, it's not the bottom of the barrel options. But I agree, not super high end, either.

But, for me, my cats are all strays I took in, and I try to find a balance between a decent quality food and price. Decent enough that the food itself is not likely to cause health problems. For me, this includes that the company is big enough to be able to invest in quality control and nutrition, so I have tended to stick with Iams and Science Diet. Purina (One and Pro Plan) aren't bad options, either (several vets over time have agreed). Royal Canin isn't bad, either, but there have rarely been deals (going back 15+ years) that bring the price down enough for me to choose Royal Canin.

Science Diet is the best of the 3 - and it posts more complete nutritional info for its foods on its website, including more precise phosphorus content. I switch to Science Diet options with lower phosphorus as cats get older, due to the higher risk of kidney disease in cats.

Prices, especially on Science Diet cans, have gotten ridiculous lately, though - although that's across the board for all foods.

Prices now are high enough that it's relatively cheap to occasionally cook up a little ground beef or chicken and give that to them - I do this instead of buying 'treats'. (Treats are about the least healthy thing you can give to your cats). I wouldn't feed this as a high percentage of their diet because they need the nutrients that are added.

A little cooked meat, without anything added - no salt, no seasonings, absolutely no onion or garlic - makes a great treat. You can freeze the cooked meat in a plastic bag and then take small amounts out to thaw and feed your cats. Spread the meat out in a thinner layer when you put it in the freezer, and it's easier to break off small amounts.

Every commercial brand you mentioned is below or significantly below average overall in nutrition; often shilled by huge companies' vertically integrated animal care arms like Banfield, save for a very few above-average SKUs. All these foods come from Megacorp Inc. which is not in the business of keeping cats alive. Rather, it is in the business of profiteering via extensive marketing to the Unknowing Great Unwashed and coercing veterinarians since university where the industry either pays for nutrition teaching or actually does it themselves (or directly paying them as employees: Banfield, Blue Pearl, Pet Partners, VCA, and others).

In all seriousness if you like your pets read the label. I just looked at the label for Ol' Roy Complete Nutrition T-Bone & Bacon Flavor Dry Dog Food. #1 ingredient : Ground whole grain corn. I never fed anything from Walmart to my animals. In my book corn does not count as t-bone and bacon.

Ol' Roy is the definition of the bottom of the barrel.

Cats and dogs are not cows. Or pigs. But the vast majority of grocery store food is full of corn.

Whenever I see someone buying this, I'm wondering if he's visiting Clark W. Griswold in his ArrVeee:

Maybe I should post the link to this website:

One persons opinion on dog foods, seems somewhat useful.

Every source you linked to is an OPINION. There's no high quality scientific evidence (which include well designed and well-conducted studies over enough cats' lifetimes) to back up those opinions. Vets are all over the place in terms of their opinions, and many disagree with your so-called experts.

You chose your sources out of confirmation bias - it confirms what you already believe and want to be true. That doesn't make those opinions true.

Investigate the scientific process, and how scientists exhibit skepticism.

This is an endless argument in these threads so this is my last reply on this topic to you.

You can if you are so inclined make your own food for your pets - there are good recipes out there from veterinary schools. But if you do that, take care to pay attention to the added nutrients needed and be careful adding precise amounts. It's a lot of work. As much as I care about my cats, I'm not going to do it. I've taken them in off the street, so they're living a much better life than they would have. There's a balance - if you spend more money on very expensive foods for which there's no objective scientific evidence showing they're better for the average cat, then you can do far less for other strays. And you get a lot more bang for your buck by helping another stray than you get by feeding a cat a very expensive food with unsubstantiated claims. But do what works for you. The rest of us have real life constraints, and I personally am not convinced by your experts. You think it's ok to shame people because they don't feed the foods you like .... should I shame you for not spending your money differently and helping more cats?

So, how does your MegaCorp Kool-Aid taste, anyway? LMAOLMAO

Kudos for taking in some strays. However, being misguided should not be a point for pride when it comes to nutrition.

People can pay very close to the price of grocery store brands with a little shopping and buy better-than-average foods instead. Chewy's American Journey, for example.
