Update to petflow.com

[ondaflipside]

I asked your opinions on this and other pet-food related websites last month; and I am here to say I'm a fan.

I ordered on Sunday night, and my 30-pound bag of dog food was on my door waiting for me on Tuesday.

This saves me with time, $, and heavy lifting. And they offer automated order; so I don't have to do anything.

Yay!

I'm glad it is working for you. But wow, I just checked it out and the dog food we buy is nearly 3 times as expensive as it is at Costco. (I know not everyone has a bulk store nearby, though.) At Costco, our food is 0.42/oz, and on here it is $1.03/lb. Okay, so, maybe not quite three times as much. But still more.

ETA: Sorry; typing fail. One is 42¢ per pound and one is $1.03 per pound.

You are comparing oz. to lbs? I think that 1.03/lb would be cheaper than .42/oz

OGillian- - I hear you. Maybe it does work for some of the dog food. I know the canned food that we use is more expensive on this website. But our dry food is in line with the PetSmart that I go to.

So I'll still get my canned foods at the store on my way home; but the dry food is heavy and the nearest PetSmart is clear across town for me, so it works on that end

Sorry, no. Typing fail. Both were price per pound. My bad.

It's awesome that it's the same price for you. If it were for me, I would totally have my dog food delivered. Those bags are seriously heavy and awkward to lug home.

Have you checked out wag.com or petfooddiret?

wag.com does free shipping and auto refills. I just got some dog food from them.

I am so pissed at petstore.com. I called and they specifically told me that they had my dog's food in stock and that it wasn't the old version which has now been discontinued. $180 of it arrives on my front porch - weighing 70 lbs - and those mothereffers it is the new formula.

I looked up petfooddirect.com, since I've heard of them more than petflow. But the end price for the same dog food ended up being over $10 more to me.
