Pet supplies at Amazon grocery

I don’t know if many people are aware that Amazon.com sells groceries.  I’m also not sure if many people know that they sell a small but decent selection of pet treats and supplements in the grocery, and the prices are quite good as well.  The problem with Amazon grocery is that they tend to sell things in large lots, so if you want a box of Blue Dog Bakery dog biscuits (our dogs love those), you can’t buy just one box, you have to buy a case of six.  It works out quite well if you have a lot of dogs or can share the boxes with friends, but it’s not always practical for just one family.

I thought I’d mention Amazon grocery because they offer free shipping with a $25 order, and your order can be a combination of books, music, or catnip… it doesn’t matter.  If there’s a particular type of “people food” you use a lot of (we like Luna protein bars, for example), the per case prices plus free shipping are pretty hard to beat.  Ordering canned cat food from them would be fantastic if only they sold a brand other than Iams—they sell it by the case, and shipping is free, which is unheard of when it comes to ordering pet food.  They don’t seem to carry any dog food, though.  I think the grocery is still a work-in-progress, and I hope they’ll eventually expand to carry a better variety of items, and more unique items.  It’s tough to get too excited by cases of Pupperoni (unless you’re a dog, I guess).
