Freebies for pet owners
Flippy had a couple of medical appointments today, so I tagged along. We made a stop at the “fancy pet food store”, and I was able to redeem all my coupons from the Merrick Pet Birthday Club to get one dozen free cans of Merrick cat food. The company sends coupons for two free cans on each cat’s birthday, and I’d been saving them up because we don’t get to that pet food store very often. I was able to get four cans each of Turducken, Thanksgiving Day Dinner, and Grammy’s Pot Pie, and it didn’t cost a penny. If you go to register on the Merrick website they say something about sending a gift to your dog (they send a bully stick), but they’ll send a gift to your cat(s) as well.
I wanted to write about some new cat food I bought at Petsmart, but I can’t seem to find a reference to it anywhere on the Internet! The food is Sheba “Select Cuts”, and it was on sale for 8 cans for $1 at Petsmart. I thought I’d try it to see if Chelsea would eat it (her taste buds are really pedestrian), and when I opened it I realized it wasn’t conventional wet cat food, but a “supplemental diet” of shredded chicken. It looks like shredded chicken in aspic. The fine print says to just feed it as a supplement, and the label shows it really is just meat and some preservatives. I’m a bit surprised they were able to call it “dinner” when it’s not a fully-balanced meal. I haven’t brought it upstairs yet, but Missy Mae (downstairs) certainly gobbles it up. It’s a good deal for $1 per case, especially if you have a cat which needs more protein or needs to put on some healthy weight.
Okay, now for a few actual freebies. I hope you’ll find these useful:
- Free sample of Purina Cat Chow Naturals
- Free sample of Pro Plan Selects (for dogs)
- Free sample of Flint River food (you can request dog or cat food)
- Free sample of canine Greenies
- Free sample of feline Greenies
- Free samples of some neat-sounding treats from Benny Bully’s (cats and dogs)
- Free sample of Yappy Treats (for dogs)
I wonder if Bear would like the shredded chicken stuff. I am once more attempting to tempt him with wet cat food.. but as usually.. he is not biting.
