My Grocery Score

QVCkitty1 — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 15:22:30 GMT

Around my area, dry cat food I'd harder to come by than toilet paper. I usually order it, but my Walmart order is delayed with no delivery date given. I then ordered from Chewy, but that will take 7 to 10 days till shipping. I have a bag in reserve, but when I found a bag at the store today, I felt like I won the lotto. No matter what cats must be fed ! 😻😻

@QVCkitty1 do you have any stores that only sell pet supplies near you ( I don't know if they are even opened)?

This is why I (SHHHH!!!!!!) bought a couple of large bags extra for my kitties, both indoors and out.

I purchased 2 extra months of flea protection and heart worm pills for my Molly. You never know what will be hoarded next.

Unfortunately no.

All the pet supply stores near us are open. And if you call ahead they will come out and make curbside delivery.

Our dog has been soooo picky eating. We have been trying to make him eat and for a brief period he ate Fresh Pet. So we continue to buy it, he will eat it maybe once every 3-4 days. So we end up going to the pet store every few days. And they are well supplied.

OOPS! Indoor Kitty just read your reply. Sorry!

I'd go ahead and order from Chewy right now.

@Sushismom , Oh, my order is in, but it will take 7to 10 days, whenever it gets here it will be welcome.

@QVCkitty1

Oh, good. Hopefully you ordered a bit more than needed.

I always figured I could get people food one way or another (and have done so). But for the cats, well...

I feed two indoor-only kitties and several ferals. Well, almost ferals. They are used to me and rub against my legs. Anyone else and they run!

I orderd from Chewy yesterday but will have to try a new flavor of Beyond as they have been out of stock on my usual flavor. I'll mix it in with what I have and hope for the best. As you know, sometimes new food causes upset.

I think people hoarded pet food. The good news is if they get hungry enough they will eat eggs, bacon a little pancake.

My Chewy auto ship was also delayed but I finally got it. In the meantime I also ordered cat food from Target.

I had heard on the news this week that pet supplies were being hoarded. Hopefully the pet stores will start putting a limit on the number of items that can be bought at one time. I

@Sushismom I have the same situation with semi-feral cats but I had just gotten food for them.

General FYI

Pork products are not good for cats which is the reason there is no canned food with it in it. Eggs are good, bacon is not.

Petco seems to have a lot of food in stock. If you order by Saturday, they will deliver on Tuesday. Orders $35 and over ship free.

I stocked up from Chewy (Love that company!) 3-4 weeks ago. Making sure my baby would be well taken care of was one less thing to worry about. He has eough food probably for a few months.

Cat food
Litter
TP

Everything else, I can wing it. 😉

Fortunately I’m good for awhile on all 3.

So stupid to hoard dry pet food. It does not have real long shelf life unopened.....if everyone just bought it as they needed it, there would be plenty for all.

Have you tried buying dry cat food? I did in mid-March and it took 2 weeks for it to arrive.

I only bought 2 extra bags for all my kitties (2 indoor only and 8-9 ferals). And telling everyone not to hoard doesn't work. Otherwise, there would be plenty of toilet paper to go around.

I'm in a rural area so I'm hoping pet food isn't a problem. Now I'm concerned about that. The cat must have her meals!!!

I agree in that why can't people just buy what they need and not hoard. It's not like the sky is falling - only the stock market
