$5 Direct Link Printable Coupon DOG/CAT SCIENCE DIET Pet Food

DutchDutch said: how much does a 3.5lb bag cost?

Petco's site lists a 4 lb bag of cat food for $10.44, I don't know what it sells for in stores.

Is this coupon good on prescription diet like K/D?

Also, does anyone know of how to get the prescription diet cheaper than buying it at the vet's office?

TIA

Anyone have a suggestion on how to get around my IE security settings preventing me from downloading the coupon.exe file?

Also, what are the expiration dates you're receiving?

What is this trying to install to "print" coupons? Smells fishy.

yes, fish is one of the flavors of the cat food!

it's Bricks coupon install, nothing fishy, just the software you need to print this out. No software, no coupons.

In response to the question about prescription food, try www.rxpetfood.com. Your biggest hit on shipping comes with the first case, subsequent cases don't incur significantly higher fees. I was paying $1.56 per can of cat food at the vet. When I purchase 3 cases here it comes to about $1.08 including the shipping charges.

Why should there be software needed to print out the coupon. There is obviously something being installed on you computer that benefits the company, otherwise you could just print it out.

Because CouponsDotCom requires their special formatting, etc.

And to think my vet told me Hills was the only one that made a K/D diet for cats. According to the above website other make it too! My cat died last year but at the time I was paying $26.49 a case at the vet office. A case consisted of 24 of the 5.5 or 6 oz. cans. Cant remember if it was 5.5 or 6 but it was in that range. Dont know if you were buying the Hills K/D but if you were then they were charging you for a larger can. My vet occasionally accidently (or so he says) would charge me $1.58 for a can when i bought the single cans. I would call it to his attention and he said oh thats wrong thats for the larger can which i think was 14 or 15 oz. But they dont even make that size for cats so it had to been dog food. Anyways the rxpetfood site was higher on what i paid for a case but for others it might be cheaper plus they have other brands to consider for the kitties that need the renal food. Thanks for link kamurray.

Very true. I was feeding the SD puppy chow to my pup, until I read the ingredients... Corn, corn meal, chicken byproducts the top 3 ingredients.

I've apparently been slowly killing my dog. I suck.

Time to switch dog food.
Thanks for the info.
Its not your fault if you didn't know, get educated and question everything, china ingredients?
Please spread the word, because a vet sells it doesn't mean its good. If my vet sold this crap
I would ask him/her why and then switch vets.
There are many reasonably priced High quality foods for our pets/family. With a good quality food you pet will eat less because it is more nutritious.
A great forum to start asking questions.

========SD Main ingredients ====================
corn meal (not ideal as a first ingredient, which should be a quality source of animal protein)
chicken by-product meal (anything but quality cuts of meat!)
soybean meal (a byproduct of the manufacturing process of soybean oil)
animal fat (rendered fat of unspecified animals, possibly diseased, decayed or even euthanized pets)

Psipher said: Roughly 9$-$11. PETsMART is usually cheaper than Petco, but there are sales at both stores. Sizes are 3.5-4.0 pounds for small bag, all the way up to about 17.5 pounds. Price per pound is always cheaper on the bigger bags, so you are better off using the coupon on a big bag, on sale.

not necessarily. The key with coupon use is to get the greatest percentage off to bring down the net cost per pound.

The $5 coupon is a fixed amount, so here's an example.

Lets say the 3.5 lb bag is $9 and you get $5 off--net cost is $4 or about $1.14 per lb.

Or you get a 10 lb for $24- $5 coupon--net cost is $19 or $1.9 per lb.

So the upfront per pound of the larger bag is less, but not when you factor in the $5 coupon savings which is about 60% on a $9 bag versus 28% off a $24 bag it more than wipes out the larger bag per pound savings.

Right, but you need to have several coupons to make that work, otherwise you run out of food really fast and have to pay full price on another bag!

yeah, there's a trade off I suppose. Key is to use a coupon like this with those PETsMART $10 off $30 types they run now and then to really get your OOP down. Hasn't been one lately, hopefully soon!
